That’s 8 minutes in the middle of a three hour show. Neil was a beast; a ridiculous monster musician driven to always give his full commitment every night. An exemplary human, gifted writer, husband, and father. If all of that comes together again in our lifetime in the form of another person, it will be a miracle. There will never be another band like Rush. Never.
and he was the most amazing down to earth gentleman. I had the pleasure of meeting him years ago at the Fort Wayne Percussion center where he got a lot of his gear. I happened to be in there myself as a customer at the time. He was the type that he didn't want to hear how good he was, he wanted to hear how good you could be.
We had an interesting conversation as we had several common interests, reading and riding bicycle. They often played close cities back to back and rather than riding the bus, he would ride his bicycle between cities for at least part of the way. And as they regularly played the cities on each side of me, I knew all the best bike routes for good scenery and safe riding, so I shared some of my favorite routes with him.
His book The Masked Rider discusses his bicycle trip across Africa, and talks about stopping in different villages and setting down with the local village drum masters and even though there was a language barrier, they were able to communicate through music.
he had the flu while recording
this is Neil off his game
absurdity abounds
Loved Neil and the band. So glad they got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. R.I.P. Neil
@@Keith_KC8TCQ Hmm, I thought he was known for his high miles motorcycle trips? Did he do both?
@@scottzappa9314 he did both.
That's how it's done kids. RIP Neil.
And for you youngsters , this is "The Drummer"
2nd to none !
th-cam.com/video/9esWG6A6g-k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k2pp_PvMNHbx7Fnm
I know, right! I bet he's in heaven making kick ass music alongside Malcolm Young and Eddie Van Halen!!❤
If you didn't notice, Neil took you around the world with his drumming. Africa, Middle East, Asia, South America, Caribbean, and US Jazz.
It was essentially a recap of the history of percussion, from simple log drumming up to the Jazz Age.
Neil went to Africa and stayed with various tribes, learning all that he could learn about tribal percussion.
Had the privilege of seeing Rush in the late 70's and the opening act was a no show. 4 hrs of Rush is not a bad thing.
WOW! The exact reason why I have no respect for ZZ Top any longer.
Gregg Allman was supposed to be the headliner and ZZ Top opened.
He was sick and couldn't made it
so TOP played for 45 minutes and left.
F THEM!
@sunnyhawthorne8433 sounds like a you problem fool so how about f you
6 musical styles in 8 minutes, but on the DRUMS! What a musician!!!!
Neil was the best and we shall not see another talent like him in our lifetime
Buddy Rich wasn't nothing to sneeze at,either, the OG.
John Bonham Of LED ZEPPELIN was just as good EASY Watch Moby Dick Watch John B in that video
@@brianmcmaster5112 Neither was Gene Krupa or Jelly Roll Morton either.
@@theodoreritola7641 No he wasn't. Boner achieved his level of notoriety because of the band he was in and their popularity. The most overrated drummer, perhaps, in rock history. That's John. A good drummer who based his playing around triplets over and over and over...etc vs a MASTER drummer, complete percussionist, songwriter, philosopher and visionary.
You have no clue whatsoever.
@@joe34012 Your mom is gay and attends night classes at community college via Zoom.
See, I can make things up too.
The greatest thing about Neal Pert was that he never stopped trying to improve. Constantly training to improve his talent, a real Professor. ✌️
He actually retaught himself to drum differently to improve his atyle.
@@brianmcmaster5112 He took lessons from a drum teacher! He didn't reteach himself, he was humble enough to take lessons to improve his craft. Long after he was widely thought of as the Greatest Rock Drummer of all time. (I consider him the GOAT rock percussionist.) Long after he had made millions, played for years to sold out crowds, and had multiple best selling albums, he took drum lessons. That is why you see him change his grip to traditional in part of this solo. His instructor taught him to play that way. Rest in peace to not only the most amazing drummer, but one of the best lyricists as well.
some profs get tenure and lose interest, it must be said
@@aaradia he always had a book in his hand. always learning but when he gave his all you can hear it in his drumming. RIP Neil!!!!
Neil inspired me to drum, and to travel to Africa where i now live. I wrote an African song in honor of my hero the Professor. Kilebu Neil Peart th-cam.com/video/Rs8ZlEcOucg/w-d-xo.html
He was the best percussionist ever, not drummer. He played more than just drums. He also wrote most of the lyrics for the songs. R.I.P. Neil
OK... He's definitely one of the best drummers of all time, and he's definitely a percussionist who played more than just drums.
He is not even close to the best percussionist of all time. Any decent college percussion major can do anything Neil did on keyboard percussion or tympani with ease. What he is doing on keyboard is really extremely simple. Neil played circles around almost anyone ever on drumset. But you can find any trained professional classical percussionist anywhere and they will absolutely smoke Neil on other percussion instruments. And that doesn't even require them to be the upper-echelon players like those in major orchestras (Chicago, New York, Philly, San Fransisco, etc.).
Neil can be admired without being misrepresented.
Drummers are superior to percussionists. That's why Pert is not a good drummer.
@@76JStucki No. He sucks, and that's why he's never had a hit.

@@Augfordpdoggie
Keep the beats rolling my friend and never stop learning as Neil would say.
Most people run TO the bathroom when a drummer starts his solo. When Neil starts HIS solo, people run FROM the bathroom to their seats. LMAO! I have seen Rush live 30 times. The drum solo ALWAYS got the loudest applause of the night. Just goes to show you that Neil was the king of making a drum solo interesting, musical, melodic, and epic. My biggest inspiration on the drum kit.
Such a talent. Yes, those were jazz shoes. When he studied with jazz legend Freddie Gruber in the 90s, he was told, “Never play drums wearing sneakers!”
Many drummers wore wrestling shoes because of their form fitting and thin soles to actually feel the pedals
And you think about that. "in the 90's" Peart has cemented his place in history as one of the greatest rock drummers of all time and he was still looking to improve. Masterclass professional.
Rush XYZ Live a must
Neil was a master percussionist. If he could hit it, he could make music with it. I loved the tribute to Buddy Rich at the end... another legend and arguably the best ever.
I remember Buddy Rich from watching him do a drum battle w/Animal on The Muppet Show...lol! I found that and just watched it. Incredible!
Animal got robbed!
@@donjackson5522 I was discussing legends, not gods....
Neil Peart had a 300-piece Drum Kit, and I can guarantee that he only ever hit about 12 of them.
I have a 10 -piece Ludwig Kit and that's all a good Drummer needs.
There's no way I would play Drums in a shit Band like RUSH.
I would fit in very well playing with BTO, Crazy Horse, Heart, Loverboy etc
@@alanstrom2221 You're so full of shit and don't have a clue. I bet the best you can play is AC/DC at best.
RIP Neil - The greatest drummer in rock history - with all respect to John Bonham.
Bonzo ever!
And Ginger Baker
Have to agree, he’s beyond just a drummer, thinking more of a percussionist! Lol, he’s stellar
Second to Keith Moon, imo.
"’Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations,’ he said. ‘My mind is as busy as it can be, and so is my body; full output all the time.’ Even while he's on tour and working hard on stage in the evenings, Peart still fits in exercise.“
RIP, the master sleeps now. So blessed to have live in a time when such dedication excellence was realized. He learned from all the masters and extended the art of percussion. He was always so much more than a drummer...Brilliant, insightful lyrics, amazing composition of music and insane percussion talent. He is already missed.
If you listen to his drumming in Rush one thing that struck me was how perfectly tuned they are. No every drummers as a particular, even the other greats. I think he was a perfectionist.
This was the perfect example why he was called " The Professor " Arguably the best drummer of all time.
Buddy Rich all year long
Danny Carey for me all day long
I have NEVER been able to pick between Peart and Bonham. That's a fight with no losers.
He wrote all their music as well. One of my favorite quotes of all time: “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
So so true!
@@louisecote3542 they wrote a lot of the tunes. Neil Peart wrote ALL the lyrics. Look it up.
But are we really free to choose what not comes into our mind 🤔
@@davidjones-bh5xg we are free to choose a bad situation or look for other options.
He wrote the lyrics, the music was collaborative
@@tammycosby4495 They wrote MOST of the tunes. Just like Neil wrote about 99% of the lyrics. See "Tears" on the 2112 album for Geddy's lyrics. *_Look it up._*
I'm so impressed. You guys are really picking up on so many aspects of it. Amber called it multitasking and as drummers we call it four-way independence. Meaning that your four limbs can operate in concert but they can also do things independently of each other. And yeah all that cross sticking and Crossovers and stuff but really anything he does is just so incredibly accomplished and difficult. But I'm glad that you also recognized that this is basically an incredibly athletic experience. And keep in mind he goes that hard but this is just in the middle of a really long concert in the long concert is just often times in the middle of a long tour where they do this over and over. Talk about being in shape. And just the mental focus to not burn out. Still be creative and all that and it's a great way to appreciate how good he was and then please understand, it's not like he only uses these skills and this extensive tool kit at his disposal in this drum solo, it's what he's doing in their music all the time. It's just that it's blended in and supporting everything. Without the spotlight on it.
And he used to bicycle from one concert town to the next
@@Fred-vy1hm - Motorcycle.
@@susieq9801 no he actually used to bicycle before he began riding his BMW. He only started motorcycling because he could get to more gigs that way instead of peddling but he was doing 100 mile bike rides between towns the first few years.
@@Fred-vy1hm - If you say so I must assume you are right. I was unaware. I just think later on it would be pretty hard to travel by bike from Denver to Cleveland. He covered a estimated over 300,000 miles by motorcycle.
@@susieq9801 he's got a bunch of books out and mentions it in at least one of them and I think he talks about it in the documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage as well. I think if you were to read his book Ghost Rider its in the first couple of chapters but I could be mistaken, I've read a few of them but it's been awhile.
The first concert I ever saw was Rush in 1982 on the Signals tour. I was 15 and played drums in the school band. My life changed forever that night. Neil has inspired me with his music and lyrics beyond measure. It’s almost 3 years now since he passed and I’m still not over it. R.I.P. Professor and thank you.👍
Saw them on the Signals tour as well, definitely one of my favorite shows of all time!
Same 82 Champaign Ill. best $5.50 i have ever spent
My first of many tours was the one after signals, Grace under pressure. I was 14. Fortunate to see them live from Grace under Pressure through their final tour. I first became a fan after signals was released, at age 13
Same here in Los Angeles! I am a musician and guitar player with an inner drummer adding to my rhythm. I was 17 and completely blown away in 1982 by Neil Peart. I had never seen or heard anything like it. I was hooked on the pure talent of all the members of Rush! Both of your reactions were amazing too! Thanks for making me smile ❤ 😊 🌹
Me either Jim....😔
That's why he's the goat. There will never be another drummer like him again. RIP Neil
him or Bonham. both were true masters of their craft!
@@metadeth578 If you know anything about drumming then there really is no comparison...could Neil Peart play anything John Bonham did .. most definitely yes...could John Bonham play anything Neil Peart played ..absolutely not
@@rimskykorsakov2892 i'm not comparing them at all. but i like both of them and not taking anything away from either one. i got to see Neil 9 times i never got to see John at all. but either can be # 1 of all time. im just giving them both much respect!
my face melts when i watch Neil do his thing
Hard to believe he did this solo while he was well into his 50s. *Neil Peart's* drum solo is more of a journey through timbres first movement African/Tribal, second movement Traditional/Marching band third movement Rain Forest)Jazz Fusion and fourth movement Orchestra/Big Band by the way the electronic melody machine he's using is a electric *Mallet Kat.* Q Not only was *Every drummer's favorite drummer* amazing us with his chops, he was taking drum lessons to improve his playing ( that's just crazy!). *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all!!.*
This was during a concert where he had already been drumming for nearly an hour and then continued drumming well after this.. that is endurance...being in shape does not even begin to describe it. I started learning drums in the late seventies because of Neil Peart.. that is why I work on an ambulance today.. I was not very good... it was fun though!!!!
Neil famously said that playing a three-hour Rush show was "like running a marathon while doing calculus in your head."
Peart played drums for over 40 years. Smooth. He was the GOAT. Period. End of discussion.
This!!
I can't get over how perfectly timed each beat is. He never misses the timing even once.
One of Neil Peart's tricks was that he moved effortlessly between time signatures.
He could maintain 3 separate and distinct time signatures at the same time, sometimes 4. He was the best,
And the rest of Rush could keep up with him. That band had massive talent. How you get three men so good into the same band without a worldwide tournament is perhaps rock's most impressive stroke of luck.
That's not a trick. It's something every drummer does, particularly when soloing.
@@redrick8900 k
The Drum Master- Circa 1991- Drumming has the power to unite people, no matter how varied their language or cultural background might be. On a recent trek through Africa, Neil Peart had a singular experience that proved just that. "I was in Gambia, walking through a small village, and I heard the sound of a drum. So of course I was curious! I looked into a compound and I could hear the drumming coming from a curtained room. I walked up to a woman doing laundry in front of the room. She could see my interest in the sound, so she waved me to go in. Inside I found a young, white missionary from a nearby Catholic school. Sitting across from him was the commanding presence of the local drum master. He was attempting to show the missionary how to play any kind of beat. The missionary was trying as hard as he could, but he wasn't having a lot of success."
After a time the drum master, frustrated by the missionary's lack of ability, noticed the other man who had come into the room. The master had no idea who this person was, but he thought to himself, "Why not see if he can play?" According to Peart, what happened next was fascinating. "The drum master gestured to me to try and play a rhythm. So we began playing together, and he started smiling because he could tell I had a rhythm - maybe not his rhythm, but a rhythm of some kind. We were playing and playing, building the intensity, and little kids started coming in, laughing at the white man playing drums. Then a few women came into the room, and everybody began dancing to our beat! The master and I even started trading fours. It wasn't a spoken thing, but he could tell that I would lay out and listen to what he was doing for a certain amount of time, and then he would do the same. It was just a magical moment." When they finished, a confused and startled missionary ran up to Peart and asked, "How can you do that?" Chuckling to himself, Neil politely responded, "I'm in the business."
World Inspiration
Neil's love of bicycling and travel is well known - it's almost the stuff of legend. While on tour with Rush he's been known to avoid the tour bus and bike to the next town and venue. When not on the road with Rush, he has taken his bike to the four corners of the globe, including Europe, mainland China, and Africa.
Upon entering Peart's Toronto home, one is immediately struck by the fact that this man has seen and experienced locales most people can't imagine. "Here's a prized possession of mine," he says proudly, showing a raw-metal sculpture standing about ten inches high and resembling a tribal version of Rodin's "The Thinker." "It's from Africa. It weighs about twenty pounds, and I had to carry it a hundred miles on my bike. but it was worth it." Neil's passion for authentic African art is obvious. Unique drums, with their rich, hand-carved elegance, are displayed in his home with reverence. Original Chinese gongs decorate a few of the walls. The decor hints at the fact that a drummer lives in the house, shouts at the fact that a word traveler resides there. Peart's love of travel is obvious, but does actually going to other parts of the world inspire him musically? "First of all, I think travel is very important for any person," he insists. "It's affected me enormously, and I'm sure it filters down to my work. Africa is not an abstraction to me anymore - neither is China. They're places I've experienced, places where I've met people, made friends - and just broadened my thinking.
"I've written lyrics that were directly influenced by my travels abroad. In a drumming sense, I've had some interesting experiences in different countries, experiences that may not directly affect the way I play drums, but that certainly inspire my feelings about drumming. And I've gotten very interested in hand drumming. Lately I've been working on playing the djembe."
One way Peart's wanderlust has directly affected the sound of his drums is through sampling. "One of the small drums I brought from China is an antique that's too fragile to play. So I took it and a few of the other delicate instruments that I own and sampled them - along with many of my other instruments like my temple blocks and glockenspiel. I've built up a huge library of sounds, and they've made their way onto our albums in many of the different patterns I play."
A particular pattern Neil has recorded that demonstrates the value of "world inspiration" comes from Rush's last album, Roll The Bones. "On that record we had a song called 'Heresy' that had a drum pattern I heard when I was in Togo. I was laying on a rooftop one night and heard two drummers playing in the next valley, and the rhythm stuck in my head. When we started working on the song I realized that beat would complement it well."
Masterful multi-tasking. Amazing limb coordination. Often imitated. Never surpassed.
Just wait til he really get's goin'!! Miss this man....Rock ON!~
Neil 🇨🇦 was such a prolific drummer. No one matches him. This is him at his most brilliant. All the kits
weren't for show, he had mastered them all. RIP Neil. You are so missed. Great reaction, Glad you appreciate him. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
John Bonham,Buddy Rich ,Keith Moon, DANY Carrey of Tool, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, they aren't and weren't too shabby,either
@@brianmcmaster5112 I do agree. I knew someone would call me out. Sorry. Being Canadian I kind of gush over Neil. 🇨🇦 Miss him.❤️
@@brianmcmaster5112 Bonham isn't even in the discussion.
I’m Carl Palmer
@@thomassanchez8956 He's great as well.
Amber and Jordan finally!. R.I.P Neil Peart. For another drum song/solo The Surfaris,-(Wipeout)1963 . Keep up with the good work 😎👍
RIP NEIL miss him still🎉 love you both😊
Not only was this solo towards the end of a three hour show, Neil doesn’t even look like he had broken a sweat. He studied all kinds of different style drummers over the years and gleaned all their styles into his own, and makes it look effortless. In reality, what kept him interested for so many years was because of how difficult it was. His own mother criticized him once wanting to know why he never smiles. His answer was, mom, this stuff is really hard.
The man was a master of his craft.
It is now time for you to embark on the amazing journey of 2112 by Rush. It’s a 20 minute song about the future where the government outlaws creativity and a man finds a guitar and discovers how to make his own music.
Yep!
God yes, 2112 is a *commitment*, but all the songs on the first side of the album are a complete story. Even Cygnus X1 (first song, second side) is a story in itself about traveling into a black hole.
@@deadharddrive Cygnus X1 was the final track on the A Farewell to Kings album
I saw Rush in concert in 1992 and in 2004. Neil Peart's drum solo was always my favorite part of the shows. RIP Neil!
The Great Neil Peart. In the top 5 of most polls as the greatest drummer. IMHO he is #1of the drummers that I know. He was always interested in improving in any way he could. Devoted to his craft. He was also shy. It is said that at concerts he never came out from behind his drums until the end of the very last concert. In the early days he had a bicycle on the tour bus. He would off the bus as much as a 100 miles before the venue so he could ride the streets & see the country. Later he git a motor cycle to do the same. 💯
Neil influenced me to study drums since 1978. One of the GOATs!
Neil peart. The professor. G.O.A.T.
Neil Peart an influence and inspiration....RIP
Neil plays Flawlessly. Absolutely Amazing!!!
Peart was a true, once-in-a-lifetime Renaissance man. Not only was he one of the greatest percussionists of all time, he was also one of the most brilliant lyricists/poets of our time. A true treasure.
Rip Neil we miss you much love and respect for you he is the best percussion player ever he could play any drum, xylophone or symbol made love you Neil thank you for watching it love your channel this type of content needs to be viewed by our future generations as they can be inspired ❤️ please show this video to your students and children as music is our bridge
Seeing these guys live was always one of the highlights of my life! RIP Professor.
Neil Peart.............BEST...................DRUMMER.........................EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Again, Amber, you've identified something really vital in rock music for a musician. Neil was so much a student throughout his career, and it showed in his performances. Yet he never settled. He said that towards the end of his career he felt like there was somehow something not quite as efficient and elegant about his drumming. He went to a mentor to whom he looked up. He said his mentor taught him to view drumming as a form of dance. He had to work like the devil to master that approach, even after all those years as a professional drummer, but performances like this one prove the value of that approach and all his hard work. He's powerful, fast yet smooth (as Amber pointed out) and graceful. His sticks are in a sense performing a dance.
Just the greatest ever. RIP Neil
John Bonham was just as good from LED ZEPPELIN
@@theodoreritola7641 but in a different way, Bonham had a more powerful sound while Neil was technically perfect and his skills weren't just limited to drums. You can make the argument that Bonham was the best drummer but Neil was the best percussionist and as good as Bonham was I doubt he could play some of the stuff Neil did with Rush while Neil could easily play any Zeppelin tune.
I’ve been waiting for this one. RIP NEAL
God bless Neil. 👍🥃🇦🇺
He was the best at what he did! Best technical percussionist ever!!
A true Renaissance man.
Lyricist and virtuoso percussionist.
The Greatest of All Time.
How fortunate we are to have witnessed his talent individually and with his highly skilled band mates.
I love to see you react to RUSH, but am sad Neil is gone.
Fortunately, they have a vast catalog of timeless music to enjoy.
"The Professor"!!
He was called that not just because of his drumming, He wrote all the lyrics for Rush, and he wrote several books.
This the reason why Neil is your favorite drummers, favorite drummer.
one tends to get mesmerized just watching him as we appreciate his devotion to his craft.
Saw 14 Neil solos and witnessed greatness!!
His kit is kinda like 3 drum kits surrounding him, which is why he had the stage rotate.
So glad you guys watched this 👍🏻
Neil Peart was a one off creation in this existence...he also even wrote 98% of all Rush's music...
Jay...he must be in shape...lol
His yearly vacation was him picking one of his vintage motorcycles and riding all the way across Canada 🇨🇦
RIP Neil💙🇨🇦
Neil Peart, your favourite drummer's percussionist.
I’m so happy you reacted to this! It is awe-inspiring!
This solo came at the half mark of the show. Imagine playing for another hour and a half after this .
1 of the Greatest drummers ever!!!
Rest easy Neal Peart!
best drummer on the planet he is so truly missed
It's not just what he was capable of playing, but the creativity to come up with this. His solos were basically a song.
The master at work making it look easy. RIP Neil!!!
Yeah ! The professor neil peart ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think I finally understand why Rush fans are so passionate. Amazing...
Never minding what he does with his arms....which is flat amazing.... that he can do that and still maintain two simultaneiously independent beats, one per foot, just floors me every time.
Kudos to your comment about "what kind of shape" a person must be in to perform this solo. Side note: Neil was 52 years old when this was recorded, And ask a drummer how hard it is to change drumming genres from rock to big band to swing. You'll have even more respect for the GOAT. The world is a lesser place without "The Professor".
Thank you for highlighting the GOAT.
For ever referred to as “The Professor” on percussion. He would typically warm up for over an hour, before a show 😳.
the GOAT drummer.......
That’s over 50 years of work. A man totally dedicated to his craft and his passion and talent. Rest in Peace Neil 😞
I’ve seen them 6 times. And no more. Rush is ROCK. Rush is LIFE!
You just heard the best drummer ever. Period.
Seen them 6 times. Neil’s drums make rush. Although Getty has a killer voice. For a 3-man band, they are the loudest. Amazing.
Saw Rush perform with Primus as their opening act, might have been 1986. No one paid any attention to Primus. People were walking around the concourse. The arena was only about a third filled. At the end of their set, Primus busted out a killer version of YYZ. Everyone thought they missed the beginning of Rush’s set. You’ve never seen an arena fill faster.
Neil Peart. Your favourite drummer’s favourite drummer.
So much more than a drummer. It still breaks my heart that he's gone.
Professor, teacher, student. Knowing when to take center stage and when to let others shine. Always pushing himself, always growing, and sharing. One of the true GOATs - a master of his instrument. He literally wrote the book on drum solos. A loving husband and father that went through hell and came through it all. Miss you, sir. There will NEVER be another like you.
He could actually keep 4 different time signatures at the same time.
Some of us can 😎
It was truly amazing as quick as he was.... No RIMSHOTS!!!!
He was, and will always be, The Professor, for a reason!
Awesome!!!🤘🔥
I watched a video from another professional drum teacher who did an analysis on this solo by Neil Peart. It gave me even a greater appreciation for what he was doing here. For us non expert drummers, there as so many little things he is doing that we just don't see or realize what is happening. Neil never stopped trying to improve and worked with other professionals to learn his craft. One of the things he learned to do was to keep a different rhythm going with each foot. You try that, most say impossible but he trained his body over years and years. FANTASTIC
Neal had total Mind, Body, and dare I say it, Soul coordination. We shall never see the likes of Neal Pert in our lifetime. Total perfection on the drums.
One of the best drummers ever
the best
He's not just wailing away either. He'll play the same exact solo show after show. That part @ 05:52 is extremely difficult and was hard for himself to get down pat. He sought out someone for lessons in perfecting it.
Independent play or odd time. He's playing in different time signatures with each limb simultaneously. Definitely an advanced technique.
@@picklesmcmillan217 That's a better way of putting it, thanks. I don't drum myself, but because it sounded unusual, I looked into it, and I like to point it out because being it's a slower part of his solo, people may not understand the difficulty in playing such an odd beat, also shows that Neil was forever a student of the instrument.
so glad both of you reacted to one of the best of all-time. you surprised me with this one.
A human metronome, his timing was beyond precise.....
Before Neil Peart passed away that’s what he was studying African music. This was just a beginning of the new revolution of drummers. Unfortunately, we never got to do that. I’ve been listening to Rush for 30 years, and I am saddened by his death and it deeply sorrows and I was just watching this video with y’all. I have seen Rush three times, and there’s nothing like watching him play his solo drums in the middle of the show. What a great guy what a great band one of the most talented bands that you will ever find in the world. God bless you rush.
Ringo was king of the backbeat, Neil was king of the back, front and both sides.
"Absolutely Correct!"...
👍
He's one of the few guys that make drums actually sound musical.
Back in the day, when the drummer did his solo you went to the bathroom or got a beer. When Neil plays, no one leaves their seats.
Neil was the Professor, PHD, Mad scientist, hard driver drummer all in one.
My GOAT of drummers.
Neil's solos were musical compositions in and of themselves. What he did was extremely difficult even for him. He put an exceptionally high level of pressure on himself to deliver on this level on a nightly basis. Regardless of his physical condition, and also constantly pushed himself to improve.
Also important to note that Danny’s favorite drummer is this guy the magician Neil Peart he says he was huge inspiration for his drums as well- if you compare their setups you will see many similarities
He has a strong love of John Bonham, too.
Also love his working man solo on all the worlds a stage!
Just a pleasure to watch and listen to Neil.
Neil could have put on a whole concert by himself
One could argue who the best drummer of All Time was, John Bonham of Zeppelin or Neil Peart of Rush! They were both once in a lifetime drummers. You two get it. And FYI,Danny Carrey is up there,too.
Now you need to do John Bonham’s Moby Dick.
I liked John B more, He was a huge part of Led Zeppelins FANTASTIC greatness of the 1970s
@@theodoreritola7641 No one drummed like him,no one! Kashmir from Knebworth 79...just insane at the end
@@johnscheunemann5630 Thats what i have told every one also Then Compare lol

24 carat gold drums, mind you! LOVE Neil! Rest In Peace professor!
