RIP Neil Peart - you were THE inspiration for drummers everywhere. Keep the dream alive, Meytal.

Somewhere up in heaven the Professor is watching this with a smile. Great job Meytal

Damn! I AM ALWAYS TAKEN BY HOW EASY THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN MAKES THIS LOOK! I been playing for decades, and many of these songs I used to take a ton of tries to get it! She makes me feel like a novice! AS SHE SMILES!! With that beautiful smile while playing, just to make it look even easier!! What a wonderful talent brought to us!

So I've gone down the KZfaq rabbit hole tonight, and in the past hour I've watched Maria Barbieri cover YYZ on guitar, Anna Sentina cover it on bass, and you cover it on drums. You three would make the most amazing Rush cover band ever -- and I can't wait to show these to my daughter in the morning. I can show her the Rush in Rio DVD all day, but she pays twice as much attention when she sees a girl doing something she likes to do. She's only 5 and wants to learn an instrument, and I have no doubt this is really going to inspire her. Thank you!

As a drummer myself, Neal Peart is not easy to cover. Great job, well done!

I love that little "wow, this is tough!" look at 2:22. Great work! :-)

I can't believe how good this song is, after all these years. Meytal plays it well!!

Good, loving tribute to Neil Peart, himself. He will be missed by all who have remembered him and his brilliant drumming for the rock band Rush in his lifetime. Rest in peace.

Neil would definitely be proud. Thank you, Meytal. ❤

Damn, this girl didn't miss a lick!! She was spot on throughout the whole song!! Wow, just wow!!

Awesome cover. Made me cry as I'm still so overwhelmed by the tragic loss of Neil Pert!

The proffesors job was never an easy one as you can see she does'nt smile as much here because of intense concentration. Meytal you just proved you can play anything. You are amazingly gifted. God bless.

NAILED IT . . . . . Finesse like a real pro. Smooth with the sticks like you've done this a billion times.

Rush yet again ...very impressed Mytal..Canada is proud of you 😎

I love how calm she is. Beautiful too

Anyone who can do YYZ on drums, will always be in my heart!!! Keep rockin'!!!!!!

So effortless and having fun! Loving what you do ; priceless!

Been watching your covers for a little bit and I love how you can actually tell how much you were concentrating on this song. Not an easy task to nail this cover by any means and when you look at the camera a 2:22 and give a little "Oh My God, please let me smash the rest of this", it shows a quality of humility and also appreciation for what you know will be a highly viewed and critiqued video. Over 1.4 mil views as of right now! I think you nailed it as you always do, at least in the videos I've watched. Keep killin it!!

Awesome tribute to the late great Neil Peart and YYZ aka the “Six” aka my home Toronto

The smile is the thing, there. Not taking it too seriously and yet, this is a Neil Peart cover. After all. Kudos.

Most likely one of the hardest covers one will ever do. You rocked it!! Love watching your covers. Keep on kickin ass!!!

I think that girl drummers are great! Excellent work!

OMG, Meytal! You are the cat's pajamas! Holy shit... I've see plenty of YYZ drum covers and your tempo is impeccable!

I have become blown away at so many of these women that are so talented, holy shit these girls are amazing - I have such a level of deep respect, the absolute LOVE of music goes unrivaled - keep it up Meytal Cohen you're going places, as if you didn't know with 1.2 million subscribers +1 right here - you're amazing.

she makes it look easy. Great job!

Damn Meytal that was freakin fantastic cranked up loud, sounds clean and of course your playing is spot on, saw this before, don't know if I commented, gotta love doing Neil songs, God rest his soul.

Now that's when we divide man from childs!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love watching ppl cover Neil. Awesome job

Huge Rush fan for many years & bigger Peart fan even. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who talks an ounce of shit about any of her covers is nothing more than a hater. It takes some major juevos, for most any drummer out there right now, to cover songs she has, and publicly. One thing I'm certain of. Anyone who has, or would throw up a cover video like this, could never match the true & obvious joy emitted thru the screen from her. Nahh. Be seeing nothing but concentration bordering on panic, as they attempt keeping up with The Professor. Keep kickin' ass, Meytal.

How can you play Rush(my favorite band) and smile at the same time?Well done.

Not sure how anyone can deny this young woman the super-massive props she deserves for her talent, but there's always somebody out there haten!!!!, Meytal.... All your work is magic, but any cover you do of RUSH has to be on it to keep me in..... and I am all in. Much love..... and keep up the phenomenal work.

I am so impressed whenever I watch a video of a drummer covering a Rush song. Neil was such an incredible drummer I sometimes think it would take a "normal" person having three arms to play like Neil!

Extreme awesomeness! Rock on!

she holds the sticks so delicately that i kept expecting them to fly out of her hands.

I was curious at first, But After watching your videos. I am a believer. You're very talented and you make difficult songs look easy and your smile is amazing.

As always, you rock girl!! Mr. Neil Peart looking down and proud.

This song is a masterpiece!

Wow, Oh My,Oh Dear, this is ever so enjoyable for a true Rush fan. And especially for people who idolize Neil Peart. Please do as many Rush songs as you can. Thank you.

I was looking for the drum cover and I was skimming through google, and I saw meytal, and I was like wait, is that meytal? And it was! And now I'm happy.

Neil would be proud of your acknowledgement of his works. Has to be the Best I've ever heard......🤘 RIP Neil you will never be Forgotten. ✌

Now there's a talented young lady! Keep playing those drums! ;)

Complicated percussion piece great job!!

I am almost 50 years old and I've been listening to Rush most of my life I think you are amazing and it's a pleasure to hear what you did in Neil pearts legacy

as always, a very good job. Ms. Cohen is a very talented individual and always a pleasure to watch play.

I responded a while back to a snarky commenter on a video of an eight-year-old girl playing her heart out covering (if I remember correctly) Spirit of Radio. The commenter was of the opinion that this kid had a long way to go to reach Neil's level. My response was A)who the fuck are you to judge anyone ( a CHILD, no less) who is doing their best to emulate a master and B) Neil himself, reiterating the words of Bob Dylan, said, "what more can you do for someone than to INSPIRE them?" As a devout Rush fanatic, it fills my heart with joy to see the masters of tomorrow being inspired by those WE grew up with.

Careful, Meytal, I think Krieger wants to clone you and/or chain you to his drum kit in Vanisphere mk.II. I mean, it just sounded like you nailed freaking' YYZ! Awesomesauce!

wow you brought Rush back to mind

Well, what can one say to that?? Holy Guacamole, insanely brilliant!!

For me?.. That was frickin incredible! Neil Peart is a monster drummer! If you can play anything he's done you can pretty much play anything! Fair play to ya Meytal your officially a monster drummer hahaha you got chops :-D

She locks in very precisely. There is not the mechanical approach to merely copying the algorithm of Peart’s playing. This drummer seems to get the entire idea of what Peart wrote for himself. She’s a very rare talent and I hope she finds her own path and groove well into the future!! RIP Neil Peart. The greatest ever!!!!

Nice job Maytal! Nailed it note for note! I've been wanting to learn this tune and your video will help me to break it down on the kit. You give justice to our gone but not forgotten drum hero Mr. Peart.

Pure Awesomeness!! ...as a life long fan of Rush, you nailed it!! I can't wait to see your other Rush song covers! Neil would be proud!!

9.95/10 I dropped you 0.05 coz you didn’t throw you stick in the air n catch it at the end of the solo 😂😂 Awesome 👍👍👍

Not too bad. It was pretty close with the exception that you rushed no pun intended a few times. Especially that last fill but I think you noticed that too. Totally digging it though!

The smiles you flash at the camera conveys the message that you enjoy drumming. I hate that I don't have a singe musically bone in my body. Always nice to hear a great cover of Neil Peart (pronounced Drum God).

I GOTTA tell you the truth!!! Today is the first time I see you on this because I even feel depressed when I hear this... that's NOT drumming.... this is ALGEBRA or quantum physics on drums... another like!!! IMPRESSED!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

neil peart stands alone

I wish she was in my guitar hero band!

I love how hard you have to work this. Well done!

ive air drummed that so many times since it came out and even in my head where i can do anything, i never came close to how you pulled this off! Excellent work! The Professor would be proud of your effort and inspiration.

nailed it.

This lady is fucking awesome....

Meytall Cohen, you are awesome. What a talent! I've been a RUSH fan for 40 years and have seen them more than 30 times. Great drum work on all your videos. You rock!!

I love it. Keeping the classics going strong. My opinion, this is what KZfaq is about. Showing the world you rock. Takes guts to step into that song. With or without shoes.

Rip neil peart

fucking AWESOME!

I've watched you for years and you make everything look so easy! Mad respect!!

#RIP NEIL.. 😢😢😢

well she got through it,Good for her! its to bad you can hear neils kit underneath.i think that may have helped tighten things up a little.Still have lots of respect for her!!

Can´t believe my eyes , ears ...! Woow what a Rocking Lady !!!

Good God girl. Amazing! You nailed it! With your talent, I cannot wait to see what you produce!

The only problem is she doesn't get lost in her playing. It's like you can tell she's analyzing every hit. There's no soul there, just practice and training.

You can play YYZ, but can you play La villa strangiato ?

This is the best video I've seen all night. You (almost) nailed it. The smiles made it all the better.

Neil Peart is my all time favorite drummer. You my lady have just impressed the he'll outta me!! Well done!

Move aside, Krieger. Neil Peart no longer stands alone

I think this is a simplified version, or at least it seems that way.

Fantastic work again, always great to hear someone cover the professor on the sticks.

You are amazing! You make it look effortless.

Cover Metalingus by Alter Bridge

she's a beautiful girl but thats not the reason i watch her videos she has some serious talent like this song is pretty fucking hard to play and i would say she did a damn good job at playing it beat for beat so well done Meytal

Your are an amazing drummer. I therally enjoy listening and watching you play drums! Can't wait to get your next album. I think your last album ROCKED 🥁

SO AWESOME!!! great cover from one of the best drummers in history. just proves that you can do anything you put your mind to. watched your cover of pull me under right before this one. tons of talent. keep it up and always feed your inner musician!!

Watch your right hand when you switch to the hat, your technique suffers a little bit, not terribly, but my Joe Wormworth trained eyes notice it

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS!

As amazing as you cover this...AND YOU DO...my heart aches for Neil. RIP my brother.

Mesmerizing...excellent song choice...flawless execution.

YYZ she can. Neil Peart would be impressed. Slightly off one or two times but excellent job Meytall!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)

119 people are male drummers who got on here thinking they'd see a 'pretty girl giving it a good try' and got served :0)

Dang hard to believe its been 30 years since the last time i seen Rush play live and doesn't look like i will be seeing it again anytime soon.

Watched this one a million times!! Always great!!

if youre a guy and youre seriously complaining about what shes wearing then you need to question your sexuality. shes a boss ass drummer its not about the looks anyways but if you can complain about a good lookin girl rockin ass on drums then you have issues

Ok.... I've watched a few of you're cover videos, and I must say, mimicking Neal Peart like you just did was bad ass!.... in fact, you're bad ass! and you're hot!

Rush is my favorite f all time and you did a great job with this

Close my eyes...... and you are Neil. Thank you xxx

Great job on the song. Well done, not a lot of mistakes at all. Wish I could have joined you on guitar. The girly men on here who keep commenting on her looks "taking away" from her performance and talent are crybaby boy losers. They hate that a hot chick can play drums and be twice the musician instead of being the dumbfounded groupie they all want her to be. Sorry children, she ain't impressed with you. You can't just buy a guitar and learn three bar chords, growling quaint teenage angst lyrics and pretend like you're a musician to impress her. She isn't buying it. You have to actually be somebody - and *that's* why you're pissed. They always get mad when girls aren't playing dumb, easily impressed and needy.

Not as good as Neil Peart. But a hell of a lot nicer to look at.

Your Awesome Young Lady!!! I really enjoy listening to you Playing!!!

I goofed around on the drums in a high school band playing rush, led zep, acdc. But was never this good!!! Sold my drums 26 yrs ago to get my wife an engagement ring and haven't played since. Wow, this is awesome and inspiring. Makes we want to go out and buy an old set just to play around again!!

Why does she play like that? I feel uncomfortable watching her play
