If you notice Neil is not breathing hard at all...he always prided himself in being in phenomenal shape before touring. Also, he is playing the trumpet section with foot triggers, electronic drum pads and cymbals.
His playing that concurrently with the other rhythms at the same time is an example of polyrhythm and limb independence (which I understand he worked hard to develop)
If you don't have any Rush songs on your list, Check out "Between the Wheels" live in Germany (R30 Tour - the Stick Hits version is best) An amazing performance.
So inspiring to see what you can achieve with perseverance and dedication to your craft. Neil ,later in life, took lessons with Freddy Gruber and Peter Erksine to learn play more improvisational and with more of a Jazz /Swing feel. I was so fortunate to have seen Neil perform this and may other solos live and it always amazed me how he can play different time and patterns with each limb independent of each other.
Multiple times during this performance, Neil is splitting his limb independence 4 different ways. A tribute to discipline and percussive study. RIP, Professor...
He has an older performance with drum solo on a drumset less than half the size in a Buddy Rich tribute band. The last part of this solo was Buddy Rich and that was him you saw on the video being played during the end of the solo
You should give Triumph, Saga, Aldo Nova, BTO, The Tragically Hip, April Wine, Trooper and many other great Canadian bands like Rush. You won’t be disappointed.
Lovely reaction, Neil was really a quite decent drummer, bs he was one of the very best. And btw his name is pronounced P with an ear in the middle and a t.
Geddy has said...Peart's name is pronounced like "ear" with a P and a T. Anyway, best percussionist ever, also the best lyricist, ever, belonging to the best band...ever. Side note about holding the "sticks": Drummers use two primary drum grips, the traditional grip, and the matched grip.
What a phenomenally talented artist! And to think, he also wrote the lyrics for Rush. R.I.P. Neil.

Impressive!
The Mama metronome asked her child..."Do you have your Peart with you?"
Neil once said that performing on stage was like running a marathon while doing math equations in his head.
That pattern with his feet-doo tis tis is called an ostinato. It's even more impressive that the pattern in 3

@@Mike80528 I believe it. I used to do RRL with my feet while playing different patterns with my hands.
The genius at work. I’ve seen this video hundreds of times, and saw him perform live numerous times. It just never gets old.
Glad you 2 took this endeavour up. Welcome to the master musicianship, I have loved for 50 years.
neil had mastered independent tempos. I don't know of anyone else that can do this.
Polyrhythmic. There are others who can, but not many. His example of limb independence is very impressive! RIP GOAT...
Rush is life. Experience it.
Lots of Great solos through the years. 😊 😮 The 80's are kick ass!! Neil even does a Buddy Rich tribute. Check it out!! You'll be amazed! 😮😊😊 RIP Neil😢
Yep. Burning For Buddy. Has two discs - Vol. 1 and 2. And two live performances.
Rumor had it that Neil shared 98% of his DNA with the Octopus. 🤔
That in the middle of a Rush concert, that's work!
So much for the Drum enthusiast and the general music fan to enjoy. The solo is a composition, and is very melodic.

the beast master
P-ear-T... hard T at the end.
Peer T or Pier T
I saw Geddy tell people how to pronounce it and and he said "P" then pointed to his ear and then "T".
Yep. Hard T are the end.

All the best drummers come from jazz. The best rock drummers draw inspiration from their jazz peers.
yup, Bonham and Peart surely was mastering it
That is called traditional grip.
I have heard him in interview pronounce it like P-eer-t.
Pee-rt, sounds like Lee.
Whats next..my dogs reaction? My goldfishes reaction?.my one day old donuts reaction?.😂
The middle of Neil's name sounds like your ear.

Ty trying to remember that!
