loved that he stuck his little cowbell routine from his older drum solo's into it, rip neil you were fantastic
Love how he goes into his original Rush drum solo. That little set cowbell piece is on All The World's A Stage back in 76 haha.
Nope, its from "YYZ" on "Exit Stage Left". I'm a 40-year fan and seen them quite a few times😊
Out of all the reaction videos I've seen about Neil, this was definitely the most informative & accurate I've seen. You really did your homework about the man and his method & gave me a lot to think about on the progression of the drum kit from its beginnings to the modern hybrid kits we know today and Neil Peart was very "instrumental" in bringing these kits and techniques to the world of percussion.
Very well done video !
Speaking as one of the people who asked for this, thank you. I just love the sax player's reaction to the audience when Neil goes into the cowbell section.
The best to a salute that was thee best. RIP To both Greatest drumers. 😢
I love the musicians' reactions behind Neil while he's soloing.
What is also not widely known s Neil could hardly hear the band from where he was. That makes what he did here even more incredible.
That and the version the band played was slightly different from the one Neil practiced on.
When I was young I asked a drummer from a local band who covered The Who, Led Zeppelin etc what was the hardest music to play for drummer, without skipping a beat he said jazz and rock. When I got started much later in life - 32 - I remembered that conversation and I decided to learn jazz, to quote a good man - "not because it was easy but because it was hard" after that any other drumming would be a piece of cake. At around 41 I got into a Rush tribute band because I had learned Tom Sawyer and YYZ and my journey with Neil began.
I'd love to see you do a reaction-analysis of the Weckl/Gadd/Colaiuta battle from the 1989 Buddy Rich Memorial Concert
I get a kick out of Garey's reaction as he watches these video's of some of the greatest drummer's who have ever played!!! Fun times!!!
Thank you for doing this one Garey. Weeks have passed but the grief is still too near.
Totally agree with your assessment Dave. As a Drummer growing up in the 70's especially with marching band drumming in Bugle corps competition NP stood out especially with John Bonham and Keith Moon and Carol Palmer! All the Greats! I would of loved to see those guys doing this with Niel . More than likely in CP's wheelhouse lol 😂.
still can't believe he is gone and Rush is no more :(
Another great video Garey! I'd love to see you do a drum solo tribute to Neil. I miss seeing you play, old friend. I never got to see Rush Live but I've been honored to witness your magic when you play.
I study the Greats now for over 6 years, I never took drum lessons and I don‘t have a theoretical background so I always learned from listening to my favourite drummers. Amazing that you are doing these analysis videos I learn a lot from your explanations and start to understand a lot more! There are a lot of details in these solos that I could not explain to myself. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!!
Excellent performance by Neil peart.love this.rush is my favorite band.RIP- Neil peart
I'm not a drummer, I'm a tapper. I love your analysis and enthusiasm. Good luck with your channel and you art and keep kicking ass.
Steve Smith transformation into a Jazz Drummer is incredible....Smith is a monster today!!!!!!
Love Steve! Steve was actually the one who got Neil in contact with Freddie Gruber.
Huge difference between Smith and Peart. To put it simply Steve Smith was always a jazz drummer playing in a rock band. Neil Peart was always a rock drummer wanting to play some jazz.
I used to watch Steve Smith every Tuesday night for months at a little bar in San Rafael ca. Truly awesome standing 2 ft away watching Steve wail on the drums with Kevin and Brad Russell.
I recall him saying at a drum clinic that jass drummers were his influences buddy rich and Gene Crupa circa approx 82
Hate to be THAT guy, but the snare he's using here is his trusty Slingerland Artist snare. 3 ply. Thanks for shedding positive light and your infectious enthusiasm on this much maligned performance. RIP Neil, you were the greatest.
i read, that snare was a '73 model. that one of his drum roadies bought used at a music store, for 60 dollars. i think back in '76. neil said that particular snare was not the top model back then, it was the "second echelon" model. was it brass over maple? either way, that snare sounded excellent!
That’s why they call Neil the professor!
You should do a video and see his almost last two solos in how far he evolved them. The solo from “Time Machine Tour Live in Cleveland 2011, called “Moro Perpetuo” which features the new big band ending of “Love for Sale” and his solos from “Clockwork Angels Tour” called “The Percussor (I) - Binary Love Theme (II) - Steambanger’s Ball (Drum Solo).
This might be my favorite solo from him. I like the smaller kit.
Awesome 👍
I love your enthusiasm and your knowledge weaved in. I bet you're an awesome teacher.
Loved this performance and analysis by Garey. I learn a lot from your channel, thank you! RIP Neil, you were my hero for over 42 years, and will always be. Definitely one of the very best...
Awesome
The posture was intentional for sure. Great reaction.
Thank you Garey and Neil!
This is why nobody can ever replace him
I agree!
Drum teacher may have to do a tribute to Neil solo. RIP Neil
Good idea !
He did one 2 months before this video
Steve Marcus was getting a real kick out of the cowbell bit. It was fun to watch
Neil Stepped out of his comfort zone to do this and nailed it...and he was VERY nervous and uncomfortable doing it....I think that some of these fantastic Jazz Drummers should get behind Neil's kit and play Xanadu or LaVilla Strangiato as a tribute to Neil's Contribution to Progressive Rock...
I've seen this before , I freakin' loved it!
And waiting for a Sheila E. reaction. Her Letterman drum week appearance is a good one to react to as it's short and sweet and a nice condensed summary of her style and talent. Been waiting for that one.
Very good Neil. And very nice review.
Geddy Lee plays bass, bass pedal, synth, pedal synth and guitars also vocals
Ladies and gentleman the 8th wonder of the world NEIL PEART 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks again, Garey. From the piano guy.
Listen...he gets choked up at the end!
Love it!!
Super stuff...love it.....thanks....
This is the first Buddy Rich Tribute back in the 80s in wich Neil got no jazz instruction, just a solid Rock drummer paying tribute to the best. 20 years later, another Buddy tribute took place and Neil did took lessons with Peter Erskine, following the advise of his friend, virtuoso bass player, Jeff Berlin.
90z.
Mais um gênio que se foi !!!
This was recorded during the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert in 1991, that preceded the Burning for Buddy recordings (May, 1994). Neil stated in an interview that the monitors in the BR Memorial Concert were too low for him to hear the band and he disappointed with his performance. This is where and when he met Cathy Rich and they later collaborated on the Burning for Buddy recordings. It was during the Burning for Buddy sessions that Neil approached Steve Smith about how much his (Smith's) playing has improved and when Smith told him about taking lessons from Freddie Gruber. Neil took lessons from Gruber in 1994 prior to the release of Rush's Test for Echo, in 1996. Neil used traditional grip to record the entire album and used it almost exclusively on the T4E tour. He didn't take lessons from Peter Erskine until 2012.
Thanks for all your excellent comments and information.
@@DrumsetArtistry Did you ever do a reaction to Buddy Rich solo from Concert for Americas ? If not could you please please please consider doing it ? Thank you !
you should post videos of YOU playing DRUMS so we can react
I own two of the "Burning for Buddy" videos on VHS (If you can believe that :) ). Anyway, when I first watched this performance of "Cotton Tail", I thought he "switched" to one of his own drum solos when he changed from the traditional grip to his 'normal' grip. Anyway, the cowbells, the snare work, and especially the pause are pretty much from solos he's known for (Exit Stage Left, for one). When he paused, I figured he was "looking" for the xylophone to start the next phase of his solo. In any event, I loved the "Burning for Buddy" videos.
Now, I have a question for you, Mr Williams: does the placement of the drum kit in front of the Big Band or behind it impact the sound of the drums at all? In the "Burning for Buddy" videos, the drums are featured, so it makes sense for them to be in front of the band. I've seen Count Basie's Orchestra a few times (in recent years) and the drum kit is behind the band. So, I'm curious as to your thoughts on if or how the placement of the kit affects the sound of the drums.
Thanks for posting this video!!!!
Any chance you have a Vinnie reaction video in the works? Solid commentary btw thorough and enjoyable
Saw Rush 3x,and NP was just stunning.
How many of you smiled through the whole thing...then cried?
definitely appreciate a pro's POV. BTW, his posture is definitely a purposeful act for this event. His standard posture is erect, though even more relaxed looking, as you definitely know, as you clearly know a TON about him and Rush. THANKS!!!
Pure talent
This was a good and entertaining analysis but I do wish that it had been mic'd and mixed properly. The audio of the reaction video is of depressingly low quality. When watching a reaction video or music critique or analysis it's nice to be able to actually hear the original video. My suggestion for future videos is to wear a pair of headphones and mix your uploaded video with the original video's audio.
Thanks! This video was done before I updated the sound.
Not too keen on jazz, but that was awesome. FAREWELL TO THE KING. You were the best
Question what you reviewed Carl Palmer? If so where can I go to see that one?
Great job, l like his rock-jazz take.Always easy to criticize. Would love to see some of these basement experts put their asses on the line. This is what made him great.
I love your channel And I'm learning a ton.. Any way to increase the volume of your analysis part? The audio of the drum clips is good, but spoken part is tough to hear sometimes with any ambient noise.
The rock band Rush had a drummer named Neil Peart.
Just a side note Neil Peart played with the butt ends of his sticks. He played prom mark 747 drum sticks
So sad he is gone.
From that interview/display in 1970 where Buddy said matched grip was inferior.........
Please consider doing a Michael Shrieve, drummer for Santana.
Actually he already did it. Check it out from Soul Sacrifice. Woodstock.
How about a reaction to BJ Wilson of Procol Harum. Nice little solo on their live performance of "Power Failure".
theres a striking resemblance between Neil and Tom Hanks in this
I watched this last year and I thought how great was it that Neil crossed over to the jazz/big band side of playing which would be such a challenge for him with his style of playing, but I was so surprised how he performed with this Iconic big band and this piece of music. A fantastic performance. RIP Neil Peart. We all miss you terribly.
As More technology became the thing with synthesized drums Niel Incorporated Cotton Tail in his Rush Drum solos without a band being there!! Check it out...
No comment on reversing the sticks at 7:40?
RIP guy !
❤💔❤
You should check out some Pete Sandoval, from any of his groups...
You should look at a German drummer I believe named David Diepold. This guys has the fastest feet I’ve ever seen.
Check out Larnell Lewish Snarky Puppy "What About Me" and Bobby Jarzombek or Dave DiCenso...good stuff
Jarzbek is an underrated monster.
Not Peter Erskine. But Freddie Gruber.
I thought this was one of his better solos!
Neil forgot to yell at the band about "clams" (missed or fukt notes) while playing.
IIRC Neil was really disappointed in himself after this performance. :)
Ha! I'd say it was one of his better performances.
@@chrisscott6417 I like it as well. :)
It was after this that he sought out Peter Erskine.
Jazz is actually not an easy genre for us drummers. I believe if one can accomplish “Jazz Drumming “ everything else is just a little bit easier
Slipping the YYZ
I would've loved to hear Neil's take on your critique. No offense meant.
If you’re a drummer who has to create a react video to never seeing pert until now that’s scary.
Couple more weeks of practice, and I'm pretty sure I'll have this routine down.........maybe........probably not😔
This way before Neil studied with Freddie Gruber.
NEIL is not BUDDY RICHES
LEFT HAND NOR HIS VOICE
LOVE the reaction!! :) !!!! :) ♥ “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13
He doesn't really fit in with that style of drumming .
