In this electrifying episode of Rush Rash, Chaz n Schatz are riding the Red Barchetta into hisgly technical territories with an exclusive jam session featuring none other than Joe Cruz, a powerhouse on the drums and a true disciple of the Professor.

Fresh off a high-octane master-class performance that clocks faster than a 1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S, Joe sits down with Chaz n Schatz for a no-holds-barred conversation that dives deep into the essence of Joe’s passion for Rush, and commitment to musical precision and perfection.

• What secret Rush rituals keep Joe playing his kits like a man possessed?
• In a battle for the attention of your brain, how does Joe's work stack up with the originals? Listen throughout the episode.
• How did he capture the spirit of The Professor in a drum solo?

This episode is a love letter to all things Rush, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, with a side of bacon (Canadian, naturally). We get the skinny on Joe's latest projects that have him feelin’ it out on cuts by the Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, and other curveball bands. He’s a man of many talents, so spend time with Chaz N Schatz getting to know the man and his passion for beating things with sticks.

Joe pays homage to the holy triumvirate, his journey into the heart of Rush fandom, and we ponder big questions like why every drum kit deserves a name. We spin up Anagram off 1989’s Presto and have a rash-scratchin’ time listening.

We do the usual dive into the news, and forget to namedrop our bitchin’ sponsor Danforth and Pape. You simply must check out the Rush inspired T-Shirts at their facebook page – Danforth & Pape.
