craigb Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:55 PM I haven't had time to check this out but, whoever the new drummer is, they'll have some pretty large shoes to fill! RIP Professor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user905133 Posted Monday at 09:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:56 PM I am not sure the goal is to fill his shoes, though maybe some people will think like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Professor! While the Professor is a legend, I think they picked arguably the best possible choice.  Anika is a complete monster on drums and very entertaining to watch. The 73 years olds in the band are going to have to try to keep up is my prediction.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFreq Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Strangely enough I'm not put out by the idea of a new drummer as much as the addition of a keyboard player? Rush fans help me out here, have they ever toured with a (visible) keyboard player before? All the vids I've seen are just a tight 3 piece. I'd hate to hear them lose that 3 piece tightness which is what separated their sound from the more elaborate prog bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Pretty sure they've used backing tapes at times (fair play - no criticism) so I don't feel this is a huge leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
