RUSH

@jji666    Rush will just heavily amplify and boost the level of output on the drum kit, problem solved. Bottom line the Anika decision was a win/win for Rush. It makes the band appear 21st century PC, it avoids any direct comparison to Neil Peart and still provides a slight "rock" circus atmosphere.

I have been a Rush fan since one of my high school mates

gave me a copy of 2112 in 1979.  I have seen them

more times than I can count and will see them again in DC in October.  
 

Anyone who was able to play with Jeff Beck has chops.  It’s weird seeing a tiny woman behind the kit with Alex and Geddy. However just getting to see them

one more time is more than any true fan can ask for.  
 

I’ve been playing drums since I was 7 years old.  Neil was among the giants. Him, Bonham, Moon, Baker, Bruford gave birth to a whole second generation of powerhouse players; Portnoy, Mangini, Lange, Sucherman, and of course little Anika.  
we should all be grateful that we lived when they did and get to enjoy their music for as along as we can still hear😂. 

I was not planning on going but I keep watching the Juno performance and had to go. Los Angeles on Tues with my 20 something musician friend.

”@buellrider97 I see joy on Geddy and Alex’s face. Some nerves (maybe) on Anika. I thought she sounded great.”

She is great.  She’s also German.  Wonder how it felt to be drumming in concert underneath video stream of Neil Pert?

Also wondering if you listened to the Youtube soundtrack through your Imersiv D1, and if so how it sounds?

You motivated me to take my laptop and connect it direct by USB to the imeriv D-1. Normally I have a Sonore OpticalRendu on the USB input.

I have heard Finding My Way on YouTube over 10x and via the imersiv D-1 it is almost very good. Definitely better than any previous times I have heard the Youtube clip, but the sound is still restricted somewhere. The drums are more pronounced on the D-1 and sound even better than I had heard before.

BTW - I sold my more neutral CODA #16 last week and replaced it with the 30-year-old CODA #11, which I just got back from CODA after $144 in upgrades and bias adjustment. A great move, since the slightly warmer #11 is a perfect match for the #11.  Now if I sell either of these, I need to be committed.

BTW2 - back in the day I would be very excited to see any video of RUSH, especially the Subdivisions video which was shot in my high school and neighborhood. However today, I have tons of RUSH concert videos at my fingertips, fantastic.
