  She was great drummer before this tour. Now she&apos;s a legend.

  Her personality brings out Alex and Geddy’s goofy sides, and it’s beautiful.

  In a recent show she lost a stick right as she was starting one of the signature fills in Tom Sawyer and she recovered brilliantly. She also dropped one early in the first song of that first show, and again, recovered without a hitch. She’s an ace.

  Dude she is as smooth and clean as can be. It is beyond impressive. <br><br>She&apos;s one of the absolute best out there right now. Alex and geddy were lucky to find her. <br><br>And what a privilege to fill the professor&apos;s shoes! Clearly we are all winners with this lineup.

  Rush did everything right. This woman is an absolute genius on the drums. And just to remind you, before her, one of the greatest drummers of all time was behind the kit: Neil Peart. To follow in the footsteps of a musician like that and win over the hearts of the fans—that’s top-notch. Greetings from Germany. 🥁

  Geddy said they did not want a name drummer trying to mimic NP , but rather some one who would bring a fresh approach while still honouring the foundation of each song. Mission accomplished...and then some...and she&apos;s in her 40s (!!!)

  Samus you have to understand that the bag she put over her head was a gag that goes back to when RUSH opened up for KISS in the early 70s. &nbsp;Ace Frehley and RUSH history......and you mentioned tearing up because of her drumming, &nbsp;no joke there was plenty of 50 + year old guys crying at this tour. &nbsp;I was one of them.

  I LOVE that she&apos;s not just trying to deliver note-for-note replications of Neil&apos;s parts. &nbsp;She&apos;s really trying to capture the feel of the music, and I think she delivers. &nbsp;She&apos;s a great fit for the band. &nbsp; I&apos;ve been a fan since 1981. &nbsp;My first-ever concert was on their Signals tour in &apos;83. &nbsp;Seeing the boys happy and thriving on stage brings a warmth to my heart that I cannot put into words. &nbsp;I can&apos;t wait to see them in November! &nbsp;❤
