      Always heard he was good when I was a kid, my friend always said he was the best. I had been to so many metal and rocks shows in the early 80s and seen so many solos but when I finally peart in mid 80s it was clear why he was the best.

      Some background: Neil wrote the lyrics in Rush. Many people dont know this, basically Neil was always writing poetry. So Getty went to him after they were first writing lyrics and say could you basically write lyrics? Neil said yeah and basically he wrote them, they left the lyrics to neil

      Rush fan since the 70's here too. One aspect of Peart that rarely gets a mention is his motorcycle blogs. I read them all. I retired 6 years ago and Peart inspired me to travel around the U.S. and Canada, solo, on my motorcycle. I did 16,500 miles across 32 states and 4 Canadian provinces over 5 months. Neil was in my thoughts every single day of that. For 45 years he had such a major impact on my life I tear up just thinking about it. RIP sir.

      Yeah in the days before electronics got so usable, he used to use more of the actual instruments that made the sound. I think electronics set NP free to be even more creative and let loose. There's only so many instruments you can use in a setup without it being awkward to play consistently. He certainly used electronics to perfection. Although I did miss the big gong behind him for his final stroke.

    I was an undergrad in 1977 and a stoner friend of mine insisted that I go see a band named Rush that was playing at our university.
    I remember seeing the drum kit and thought there was no way the drummer would play 10% of that kit setup.
    Boy was I wrong. Rush killed it, but Neil Peart was on a whole other level of muscianship. Everything in his kit served a purpose and was played.
    RIP to one of the greatest percussionists of my generation. Sadly, only Carl Palmer is left from that generation of percussionists who is still active.

    When I saw them back in '77, I was going in not knowing a thing about them, and I remember thinking "this is one of the best drummers I've ever seen!" It was wonderful being able to go to the concerts and watch him perform for so many years and seeing him turn into a literal living legend. He's just a legend now and I cherish all those times I got to see him.

  • @bradleyard4195
    @bradleyard4195 Pƙed 2 lety +29

    What I always loved about Neil was that, yes, he can play super complex, intricate, almost impossible sounding phrases and passages like what you hear on this solo, and make them sound easy, but then he can play something like "Ghost Rider", "The Analog Kid", "Half The World", and so on that are really just simple, four-on-the-floor patterns, and make them sound amazing. He was always such a musical drummer, using the little flourishes he would do not to draw attention to himself necessarily, but to enhance the song. Even his particular 16th note ride cymbal technique (check out "Spirit of Radio", "Everyday Glory", or any number of other tracks), it's something no one else does, but it's a very musical touch he adds that enhances a song.
    He was a genius.

    Good catch with the educated feet. No one ever notices the foot triggers during live performances on his songs too. lol Neil put the drums to the forefront of the band. Just like a lead singer or lead guitar. When you listen to Rush, the first thing people say is "WOW! Who is the drummer?" His drum solos were a MAJOR major highlight of the show. It was like Christmas every time you went...not knowing what new surprise solo he was going to gift you that night. Lost many a voice during Rush shows...everyone screaming at the top of their lungs walking out of the arena and into the parking lot. I will miss that! ...the energy that whole band gave the crowd and made sure you were sent home in state of utter euphoria!

    And she doesn’t say "Part"
    Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
    ‘Cause he’s close to her heart

    The tuning and tone Peart does to his kits are awesome. As a guitar player that was one of the, many, aspects of Peart that I so admire/d. There are many good drummers who can swing and bash, but the truly great percussionists pay attention to the details, extracting timbre, texture, music from their instrument to enhance their phenomenal ability to create rhythm, the base, the foundation on which all music is based on.
    We humans are aware and respond to rhythm, rhythms in nature, rhythms in and around our bodies. And humans not only feel those rhythms, they commune with them, they learn to speak with them. Peart is one of the master rhythm linguists who truly made music with his superhuman ability to hear, feel, absorb, commune, and translate rhythm for normal humans to hear, feel, and understand that language.

With you being a drummer, I’d highly suggest reaching to Peart’s performance of Cotton Tail with the Buddy Rich Big Band. It’s from a 1994 Buddy Rich tribute concert. He’s out of his element, but he delivers, with a killer solo, too. Cheers!

    Kudos to you for being one of the only drummer reactions that actually discussed drumming and applauded the technical aspects such as the incredible difficulty of maintaining that waltz and triggering all the jazz sounds, instead of a just "Wow look how big his kit is." I can pretty much assure you he did all the triggers manually, as that was a philosophy of the entire band. Anything played had to be triggered by someone in the band real time. (The last jazz bit was obviously played in the background, but he still triggered the start of it).

    Not sure if someone already mentioned this, but Neil went to Africa and he loved the acoustic sounds of the drums and rhythms from there. He also loved big band music of course and based that solo from the two.
    Love your reaction and we can always appreciate the talent of the greats.

    Years ago when his daughter was in high school she was asked what her dad does for a living, her response was "uhhh, he used to be a drummer". At least I saw/heard that somewhere in an interview.

    Thank you for doing this!! Neil is my favorite drummer of all time. If you liked his solo, I would strongly encourage you to listen to other RUSH songs, his drumming on all their music is fantastic!! One song in particular is called 'The Trees'.

    Rush fan since 1975. I saw Rush perform over 30 times and they always gave 200% on stage & the fans knew it. When they were playing for you, they were focused on giving you the best performance possible.
    I never walked out of a Rush show feeling like I didn’t get my money’s worth. That was true when I paid 20.00 for a ticket in the early years or when I shelled out over 1,000.00 for a ticket on their last tour in 2015.
    I remember Neil saying on his blog after this tour ended in 2004. He said that he was disappointed at his solo this night in Frankfurt because he was feeling terrible, he had a cold & had to take some cold medicine in order to make the show.
    He always strived to better his playing skills even after being one of the world’s best drummers for over 25 years. He never stopped taking lessons from some of the greatest drum teachers in the world.
    Rest in peace Professor. Rush fans still mourn your loss and those who weren’t fans, for one reason or another also recognize the great legacy of drumming and lyric writing you left behind.

    If you are a drummer then you can appreciate the most amazing part about this whole solo. At about 5:54 his double bass kick drums and high hat are played at a totally different beat than what hes playing on top. To be able to keep a 1-2-3 waltz beat down below and then go crazy wild on top while still keeping the waltz beat is unbelievable. What coordination. "Professor" is an understatement.

You know what you're seeing and talking about and this commentary, I won't call it a reaction because it is so much more, this commentary has taught me, been informative. And in such a way that I can apply to other drumming and drummers. Thank you.

    Dw bought a tree that was underwater in Europe in a river 1600 years old. Dw had just enough to build this set. The tone from the wood was amazing. Neil loved it and had to have this wood. Best sound he ever heard.

    One of the best reactions I've seen to this performance. Well done. I'm not a musician but I love music. Your analysis was, I think, spot on. You didn't approach it as a fan, per se. You approached it as a musician and drummer/percussionist.

    Neil Peart (peer _ert} paid particular attention to sound. In RUSH's early days, say late 70's - early 80's NP had his smaller tomtoms "VibraFibed" at The Percussion Center (gone now) in Indiana.
    His tom's inner layer were lined with a custom fiber glass coating to fine tune the drum. This treatment was applied over several RUSH tours / LPs.
