Here’s a live clip from their 2008 tour. Has the short insturmental “Malignant Narcissim” (a GREAT song) that perhaps highlights a drummer’s skill the most (working with the other parts). And then Peart’s drum solo, which includes a tribute to Buddy Rich. (The horn sounds are triggered on the electronic drum pad.)
