Ru5h F@n Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Do you recognize this or is it just me? But I noticed after listening to Digital Man, that there were parts of it that sounded like the song, "Walking On The Moon" by The Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signals1982 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 The biginning of Between the wheels sounds just like the beginning of Spirits in the material world by the Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If anyone here plays the drums, can you tell me if the drums to this song are difficult to play? I'm listening to the remaster of Signals and just noticed the drums in the song. Some fancy playing in parts it sound like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) If anyone here plays the drums, can you tell me if the drums to this song are difficult to play? I'm listening to the remaster of Signals and just noticed the drums in the song. Some fancy playing in parts it sound like to me.Drums and bass only here. What makes this song jam is Geddy's bass playing. The drums really aren't that complicated, once you get past the intro run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIN6Yt6iV3U 2:51 is a fun little bit.

goose Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 And yes, Signals is the album where the influence of the Police really comes through, both in rhythms and tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I agree it’s the way the drums and the bass work together but Geddys playing is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listening to the remaster of Signals and just noticed the drums in the song. Some fancy playing in parts it sound like to me. I've been playing to Rush music on the drums since 1982. That opening fill on "Digital Man" is fukking amazing and incredible. Hard to replicate. I have said this on here for years. "Digital Man" is a masterpiece. Of course you can hear some of The Police in "Signals" and GUP." The boys were heavily influenced by The Police for those records. Not sure if I have told this story but why not type it again. This comes from one of my best buddies who is a professional drummer in the business. Perhaps it is public knowledge now. So Stewart Copeland many decades ago went to see RUSH. Not sure on the year. I can't remember.Stevie waited backstage to meet Neil to say hello and talk music.Neil totally blew him off. Typical Neil. He blows off his fans and other drummers. I believe since then though the two have become friends. It's common knowledge that Stewart showed up for the last ever afterparty for RUSH at The Forum gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your friend? Or is that a typo for 'Stewie' (Copeland)? Neil stood up your pal Stevie? Or did Neil stand up Stewart Copeland then told your pro drummer pal? All of the above? None of the above?

To tell you the truth, I was going to send you a pm to ask this question but thought to search for a Digital Man thread instead. I heard a few things in the song that made me think that it would be difficult for an inexperienced drummer to replicate. I was listening to the remastered Signals album when I heard those parts. I'll see if I can find it on youtube and post it here and point out the parts of the song to you. You are right that DM is a masterpiece.

A great example of that reality is the T4E album. LIstening to it, the drums don't sound all that creative. Watching what he's actually doing during "A Work In Progress" sheds light on all the little parts that get lost in the final mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Digital Man Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) This rare drum clinic is worth watching, he plays three or four songs and you can hear a lot of those subtle little things he's doing, lots of interesting things said and he's in a really friendly mood, paints him in a different picture but this is obviously before his tragedies!
