3 great musicians paying tribute to the 3 GREATEST musicians. Put simply...a Rush tribute that has ONLY 3 members, doing the very BEST of Rush, with all the "bells and whistles" that you hear on record! With a combined 90 YEARS of musical experience, the members of "YY3" bring an authenticity to the project, and will include more than a few "surprises".
Playing bass since the age of 13, Greg was introduced to Led Zeppelin, and then gravitated toward Rush, where he became obsessed. Over the years, he became a vocalist, then moved on to self-taught keyboards, all because of the influence of Rush, and Geddy Lee. He brings a commitment to the "role" that's complete, genuine, and focused, all the way down to the gear he uses...

Rich began playing drums at the age of 12, having been influenced by Kiss drummer Peter Criss. However, it was a friend's introduction to Rush and Genesis that lit his Prog fire. Now some 40 years later, he brings a passion for recreating the Professor's parts note for note.
Rich plays a Piano Black Pearl Masters Custom MCX kit, of varying sizes depending on the venue and setlist. He uses Sabian AA, HH and AAX series and Wuhan Lion cymbals, Roland V Drums, SPD30 and SPD-Sx sampler, a Mallet Kat, Drum Kat Turbo 4.5, DW Pedals and Vic Firth sticks. ,
