I'm going to assume Alex didn't mean "a few minutes" literally. But still, point taken. if you're a pro drummer and a big Rush fan, actually landing that gig would be beyond a dream come true, but give the guys some time to collect themselves and actually announce plans to move forward before spamming their inboxes.

Maybe a lot of non-pro drummers also wanted to audition.

Hmmm.   One doesn't have to think too hard to come up with a name that could have been the first to ask.

 

It would be a dream come true to play theaters and arenas with Geddy and Alex.

I see what you did there. I didn't know you were such a Meg White fan.

I'm sure one of those drummers reaching out was this guy/girl:

A shitty pipe dream for that guy, certainly.

Those drummers clearly had bad timing.

Anyone who did that never understood the band.
