Everyone always talks about neils technical ability and lyrics, but to me his compositions on the drums were as important. He recognized the music in this song was pretty basic and saw an opportunity to make it more interesting by contrasting the simple music with some busy and constantly changing drum parts. Smart. If all his beats were very basic this song would not be nearly as strong as it is.
He was brilliant!
The Best Teacher in the World .He is a Master at his craft . He taught me this song .Priceless
Drums are cool. 😃
Yes!
This is the most easily understood lesson about the subdivided section in measures 17-20 (Wheeler trans.) I've come across. Great work!
Thank you!!! Are there any parts to the song that you're having trouble with?
Your lessons are so amazing ❤️
Thanks Kathy!!
Nicely done Jeremy! That part right after NP is on the hi hats at intro, the way you broke it down was very easy to understand. That part was continually giving me a hard time, but I can break it into parts, as you did. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you! Have fun 🤩
O man, this helped me a lot
Thats great!!
Sir your lessons are so detailed and awesome and very helpful in every way, thank you for doing this for everyone. Want to suggest if you can mic your drums that would be great for everyone to listen it properly, rest is best.

Thanks!! No wonder I could never figure out that ride & hi-hat part. Great lessons!!
My pleasure!!
Snare sounds amazing.
Good ,lesson
that was super super helpful, thanks. will check out your other lessons
Really interesting tips! Thanks! I've been playing that song for years, and it is probably my favorite one to play!!!
This is crazy good. Thank you.
thanks!!!

Your The Most Amazing Teacher I Have Ever Seen.!!!! So Detailed !!!! You Are Very Intelligent !! My friend.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate that! If you enjoyed the video, you would love becoming one of my weekly drum students... Email me at Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com ... I'd be happy to help you get it down!
Good job!👏🏼🥁
I really like the way you explain things. Wish you lived in Las Vegas
Hi David! I'm actually less than 2 hours from vegas. BUT with that said my students are doing better online than in person. Shoot me an email... Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com
Dude u r awesome❤
Good is in the Details....
Do Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting by Elton John please!!!!
That 2nd fill in the beginning that you said, " You can play pretty much any way you want." I just watched a video of Neil, and he never moves his left hand from the snare and first Tom. His right hand is falling down to the floor base as his left plays snare and 1st Tom. I really want to learn that pattern.
Email me at jeremy@e7musicschool.com I’ll schedule a time to go over what he does with you.
please more rush, may i suggest 2112 overture and TOS, time stands still, red sector A, camera eye and many many others
Shoot me an email and I'll go over songs of your choice with you in a live lesson!
Great job but I actually was hoping to see the rest of the song. Especially the part right after you stopped. I don’t know what to call it but it’s like a switch back and forth between the snare and hi hat. Any chance you could show us? Thanks
Thank you for the feedback! I'd be happy to have a drum lesson with you! Email me.. Jeremy@e7musicschool.com
May Neil rip
That part where you move over to the ride bell, the snare hits always confused me. You made it so much simpler than I was trying to make it. Good work
Thank you! Yes that part is challenging for sure :)
It's just "e and "a" (snare) during 2 handed HH/Ride pattern
Please put out a video teaching before i forget by slipknot.
Excellent thank you!!!
Excellent. My favorite Rush song from one of the best drummers ever. One question from a non drummer, tho. How do you remember all that?
It's all muscle memory but yeah somehow he can remember up to over 100 songs
He's right, muscle memory!! There are times on some of the really tuff songs that I need to a quick refresher, but for the most part I just remember what to do! lol
Thank you again. Is a drag simply the uh? 1 and (uh) 2 etc.? Little mixed up. Thought drag was like a ghost note? Thank you. Please don't say, check online, thats what I'm doing. You appear to be nice though. Cheers.
Really cool song. Maybe next song it will be: Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" or Five Finger Death Punch "Drum Solo"?
Hey man, you are an awesome drummer and have really helped me with my drumming! Could you possibly do The Four Horsemen by Metallica? That would be amazing! Thanks!
Email me at Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com I'd be happy to help show you how its played!
Can you do We are the champions by Queen ,,,
I would love a lesson for 13 steps to nowhere - pantera
I didnt see you show the HI HAT TRIPLET?
Doesn't Neil do a triplet pattern between the high-hat and the ride that you reference at 8:40?
Hey! I'd be happy to help you, Email me.. Jeremy@e7musicschool.com
Hey can you do you give love a bad name by bon jovi please ?
Could you do Purple by Mondays?
Can't seem to find a tutorial or even the notes anywhere

Your right, I've been playing it wrong with the wrong muscle memory.. lol It take me a minute but I want to get it right! but I just broke my hi-hat pedal!!! at the chain link! so.. till next time.
Plz redo the master of puppets but the whole song. Love ur videos
Could you do Humanarchy by Circle of Dust sometime?
Good tutorials by the way. You just earnt a new sub.
Awesome thanks for subbing!! Schedule a free lesson with me I'll go over Humanarchy with ya!
Can you Teach N.I.B by Black sabbath please?
You would think if somebody's learning subdivisions they're probably aware of stick control and how to play the hi-hats? I don't understand why you go so far to explain this
Hi, great point... Many do know, however I've had a lot of students who need this info to help them. Doesn't hurt right?
Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a Revenga by SOAD tutorial? Been trying to learn that chorus part for some time now but I just can’t break it down. Thanks 🙏🏻
Why don't we meet for a free live drum lesson? Email me at Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com to set it up!
The Drum Professor wow thank you so much for the answer! As soon as I get some free time I’ll email you!
Every time i try and speed up the base groove my left hand starts swinging and I can’t keep it straight.
hmm, email me I'll help get you through it.... Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com
Great teaching but please, mic your drums.
They sound fine to me.
Not trying to nitpick here but at around 7:10 you're playing a double snare hit (2 16th notes) at the end of the subdivided ride and hi hat pattern with the left hand and I don't think he's playing one there. I don't see him doing that in any videos and I don't see that in the 2 Subdivisions Transcripts I have. At the end of that whole 6 bar phrase, he does do a double snare hit but he does it with the Left Right hand pattern. The double snares you're doing at the end of each measure there is not what he's doing. Just thought I'd point that out. Great tune and very difficult (but fun) to play!
Thanks Mars! Ty for the feedback. I am actually going to be making an updated video that is exactly what he plays. 🙌
@@E7MusicSchool It's a very technical song. I appreciate anyone who takes a stab at it. I am not sure if I could nail it on the first try and I know it pretty well.
Can we please get an August Burns Red song ? White washed ? Medler ? 11th hour ? Provisions? Anything mate
Most people who haven't played kit for years won't even appreciate this.... great vid man, but it is not for noobs
true! There are some very hard parts to this song!
The technique is perfect, however, I feel that it lacks the energy that master Neil Peart had. Tip: put the heart on the tip of the drumsticks 🥁🥁🎶🥁
Do Disturbed- Another way to die
What about outro drum filll
email me at Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com ...I'd be happy to help!
First
2nd
Kind of disappointing… This is a how to play and at 5 1/2 minutes you say do whatever you want I kind of do my own thing. I was hoping to have a breakdown of what was actually played here.
Hi John, thank you for your honest feedback! I'm happy to show you exactly what he does... Feel free to email me at Jeremy@thedrumprofessor.com
Stay awesome!!!
How to play most of Neil Peart: forget it. Pick easier material.
why???
@@E7MusicSchool : I mean for most drummers, they do not have the skills.
@@warrengauthier4699 ahh I see! That's true, most people cannot play rush, but this video is for the many people who can, or are driven enough to learn how to develop the skills needed. The youngest student I've had play this song was 10!
@@E7MusicSchool : That ten year old is going somewhere if he wants to in the future:)
@@warrengauthier4699 Absolutely!!!
