A Rush fan had the ultimate tribute to Neil Peart in recognition of the second anniversary of the legendary drummer's passing.

Brandon Toews is featured in the video below from Drumeo, a free drum lesson video brand, where he plays the most epic drum tribute perhaps ever.

Per the video's YouTube description, "It’s hard to believe that the world lost Neil Peart two years ago. We’re grateful that his legacy will live on through his incredible work with Rush. So today – in the span of just 25 minutes – you’re going to hear the best parts of every single Rush song ever, in chronological order. That’s 175 songs."

The description adds, "He recorded full takes in their entirety (nope…we didn’t just piece this together song by song) and used transcriptions available in DrumeoSONGS to learn the parts. You can find and learn Rush’s full discography in the Drumeo members area! The setup Brandon used for this performance incorporates different elements from the drum kits Neil used over his 40 years with Rush. This includes the legendary tubular bells, gong drum, and electronic pads."
