Powerhouse.
You need to be such an athlete to be a rock drummer at all, and to do Neal’s stuff looks like you need unreal speed and precision too.
The crowds were so appreciative, and so were Alex and Geddy! Just all smiles during the big drum fills, standing in front of the kit watching her. Agreed that Neal would have appreciated it!
We were directly side of stage, and we got some incredible photos.
Also - I guess he’s always been kind of unique looking, but Geddy looks like he hasn’t aged since the 90s and his voice was 100%
