Rush drummer Neil Peart and Tool counterpart Danny Carey are seen in a video clip jamming with former Police sticksman Stewart Copeland.
It’s the latest in Copeland’s series of Sacred Grove clips, and it took place after he invited the pair to try out some new percussion equipment.
Also featured are South Park creator Matt Stone and Vertical Horizon frontman Matt Scannell. Further tracks were added to the original recording later.
Rush recently confirmed what’s likely to be their last large-scale tour, while Tool continue work on the follow-up to 2006’s 10,000 Days.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
