Description

On January 7th 2020, one of my biggest drumming inspirations since the age of 7, past away. If you couldn’t of guessed, that person is Neil Peart. I’ve follow the band Rush and Neil for as long as I could remember. Every concert I went to, I only focused on Neil. The Professor. He gave a clinic in every show, on every album, and certainly, every interview. Seriously, have you ever heard Neil speak; a literal genius with words. Maybe that’s why he was the lyricist for the band.

It took me 4 years to complete a drum cover for Neil. I could of half assed attempted to cover one of their popular tracks that’s been done a million times, but I wanted this to be special. Sure I picked one of their easier tunes, but it’s a deep cut that not many people have done. The track ‘Cut to the Chase’ comes from their 1993 release, Counterparts. Certainly not difficult by Neil’s standards but it’s got a great kick pattern with an axe chopping hi-hat rhythm. Then the “Bridge Cut” was a fun little task. 🤭

This project has been sitting around in my folders since 2019 pretty much completed as I was planning on doing a full band cover with some friends. That fell through, so I polished it up with a much better sounding kit from Superior Drummer 3 and the Metal Machinery SDX. I think it worked out great. Hope you guys enjoy it, especially you Neil! 🤗

Superior Drummer 3 Help

All downloads from Red Gear Music will require the following:

  • Superior Drummer 3 Core Library
  • Any additional SDX/EZX libraries as noted on each product page
  • The latest version of Superior Drummer 3

The project will come as a digital download in the .sd3p file format.  Once Superior Drummer 3 is open, go to the File menu, then choose Open, and select the downloaded .sd3p file. All mixer settings, channel routing, channel FX, and MIDI performance will be loaded automatically.

Since my electronic kit has many pieces, I have used some different MIDI mappings than what your kit may use.  If you need help changing the MIDI mapping, I would suggest you take a look at the Toontrack manual here.

After you load the downloaded project file into Superior Drummer 3, you can save the preset to your own library for use later.  Simply click on the preset name in the upper right corner, then choose Save As... to save it your own library.

 

To use?  Forever!  Once downloaded, you have free-use of the project & preset to do as you wish.  I highly recommend you backup the project file in a safe space so you can access them whenever necessary.  You are limited to 5 downloads within 5 days after purchase from redgearmusic.com.  After 5 days, you no longer have access to download the project file again.

On each product page, you will find a Kit Details section which will show the exact screenshot of the kit used for that project.  You can hover over each instrument icon to see which library is used that make up the kit.  If the project kit uses a custom one-shot sample, this will be notated and will be included in the download as a .wav file.

Absolutely!  That's why I am doing what I am doing.  My only request is that you give credit wherever you post your content.  Feel free to leave a product review here and include a link to your cover!
