NEIL PEART - RUSH - YYZ
Created and designed by Bobby Standridge:
On a technical note, the video was created with 3D Studio Max R3 and hand keyframed using a video reference of me air-drumming along to the song. Being an older version of the software, the inverse kinematics tended to bog down after a few hundred frames, so I had to break the video down into many (un)manageable pieces. Adobe's Photoshop CS and Premiere Pro played key roles during the compositing and authoring phases.

The question a lot of you are asking is "Is it right to compare two great artists?"
There are two ways of looking at it; the first way is drummer "A" vs. drummer "B" and asking who is best or who would win a competition?
I believe this is wrong as neither drummer asked to be judged or entered into a competition. This is NOT what I am trying to do. I will say it again; this is not a competition and not what I am trying to do.
The other way of looking at it is one of advanced appreciation. Let me explain what I mean. Take a drummer like Danny Carey; do you enjoy his music on its own without anything to compare it to? Yes, I do. Now take a drummer like Mike Portnoy, can you enjoy his music on its own without any comparison? Yes, I also do.
But if I want to know how much I enjoy either piece or either drummer I need something to compare it against.
Our first natural comparison is with ourselves. "I like Danny Carey, and will pay money to see Danny because he is better than me". Fair statement? I don't see Danny Carey lining up to see my clinics.
Why do most of us appreciate Danny's drummer more then say Larry Mullins Jr's drummer? Because it is further from where we are. A lot of us can play what Larry plays so we think of him as a good or great drummer, but with Danny being so far pasted us we often think of him as extremely superior or a master.
To take an appreciation to a more advanced level you need to compare with another higher standard. There should only be a small variation between your personal appreciation of two players like Danny and Mike, or Vinnie or Buddy.
Who you like might change from day to day and that's fine, today you might like Danny more, tomorrow you're in a mood for Mike
How do you know what Tool song or Elton John song you like best? Compare it to another Tool or Elton song right?
What I am doing is not wrong. I am exercising my rights to free speech and I am offering you an opportunity to join me and share your opinion. There are no winners or losers, only good comments and bad comments. And I can guarantee you that at some point you have made a judgment call on a drummer based on another drummer.
If you don't like it -- Don't comment

Tom Sawyer (Rock Band Expert Drums 5 Gold Stars)
For more information about the video, click to read "more".
There's still parts of this song I need to work on: although by far this was my best run yet. I did have one stupid extra bass pedal hit (not the pedal's fault, it was my own, I mean) during overdrive which knocked me down 2,000+ points but otherwise from that, definitely my best run.
Also, while this isn't my 100th Rock Band video, it's my 100th video total, holy shit.
You know, when I made that And Justice For All video those months ago, I just made it thinking that it'd only get a few thousand views by this point: I never dreamed i'd have over 6,000,000 total video views, over 6,000 subscribers, and 1.6 million + views on the AJFA video alone.
EDIT: It's May 1st, almost 2 months later, but i'm up to 11,400,000+ total video views on my account, 12,000+ subscribers, and well over 2,000,000+ views on the AJFA video. At this rate... :X
Crazy shit, definitely.
Also, the pads are shaking so much because of the sock mod: i'm not hitting them all that hard.
(my gamertag = sskitzzo)
I'm using the "Destroyer Pedal" in this video: you can get it at http://www.rockbandpedal.net/ I HIGHLY reccomend this pedal for expert-level players: it makes it SO much easier to do quick hits and overall is extremely sensitive to both soft and hard hits, yet it'll never double-hit on you.
The sock mod's back: read about it at http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3807
And yes, I play drums in real life, been playing them on and off for 4+ years.
