Neil Peart said "playing Tom Sawyer is always challenging".

The drums of Tom Sawyer are an absolutely integral part of the song, so being off by so much as a quarter-beat is a complete disaster.

Cue a then 15-year old girl:

1. On point.

2. I would call it an adequate attempt with the kit she has.

The drum track is on behind her and you can hear Neil drumming what she cannot, either due to the lack of kit or lack of experience.
I want to see what Olivia will do.

3. Is any attempt at Rush anything more than "adequate"?

Of course you're right she wasn't absolutely perfect, but then again most any drummer would probably do no better...even Steve Smith.

4. True that. The Professor has left us with a standard that will be hard to match

6. To answer you, I think Sina is better than Olivia.

Bloodline doesn't mean talent.

7. Olivia was getting lessons from her daddy in the last couple of years

Before he died. And he told people that she had "it." Since we don't have video of Olivia, there's no way to know whether she is better or not, unless you personally know them. I wasn't making comparisons anyway; I was noting that his daughter is one I would be interested to see.

8. Very cool

And your source? Olivia is amazing, for sure, but jfc.

9. It's been mentioned in interviews several times.

I believe Carrie mentioned it in the RS interview that came out last month.There's been a lot of articles about Neil in the last couple of months, because of the anniversary. I can't remember which article or person related that he said she had "it" I do remember that they described it as him mean in ng she had that sense of rhythm and timing.
You say she's amazing but how do you know that? As far as I know, there's never been a video of her drumming, and I really don't think Carrie would have allowed it, knowing how obsessive fans can be about him. Not while she's still a child.

5. But, can she write lyrics?

RIP Neil Peart.

10. Nah, she can just play
