Neil Peart is considered one of the best drummers who has ever lived, but his greatest gift was in his words. Poet, Philosopher, Visionary...Our Professor.
Uh NO, he IS the best drummer ever and he will be greatly missed.
No he doesn't spin around, the drum kit spins around !!!
The best way to understand how the drum set works is watching one of his solos.
"We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost."
RIP Neil
A line from John Barth’s The Tidewater Tales used with permission.
RIP the professor.
@@TheAnalogKid2 Thanks for that. I know there are MANY literary references throughout Neil's work, but I am only familiar with a handful of them.
When I leave I don't know what I'm hoping to find and when I leave I don't know what I'm leaving behind.
If you want to see Neil use his full drum kit, watch his drum solo from Frankfurt it’s so good.
To bad he was taken away far to soon. RIP
Yes please check out his amazing solo here. I saw RUSH 7 or 8 times and watched this solo grow from 1985 until their last tour. czcams.com/video/LWRMOJQDiLU/video.html
His solo during this video was just as good.
Definitely the best version to watch. It really encompasses his work, in my opinion.
Full kit, more like 2 kits.
Rush - The Garden is a must.
Rush- Xanadu live
Rush- Half the World
Rush - Entre Nous
And I want to add a couple of dozen more
Ahem..., add Ghost of a Chance & Losing it to the list..., hurry..., yesterday already!
And great review ladies👌
And Natural Science.
Still can't believe he is gone. My brain refuses to believe it ='(
Thanks ladies, for reacting to Rush! I've been a Rush fan for 42 years, it's great to see other people discover them!
Neil was not only a fantastic drummer, he had to have been one of the best lyricists ever!! Great reaction ladies!!
Their best performance of this beautiful song! RUSH is just the best! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Oh Yes. This is the Best one!
Wow, you guys did Rush. And not just the normal big hits. Love it. One of the best lyricists to ever do it, who just happens to be the best rock drummer ever, with the best bass player, and a under rated guitar player playing with them . Love it.
Neil is considered the best drummer ever and an excellent lyricist. The thing about rush they think more is more. Always challenging themselves. In Neil's Drum Setup, he had eletronic, drum, regular drum, percussion, and even keyboard. The whole drum spins, according what he wants to play.
Geddy can play Bass, keyboards and sings at the same time, according what he wants, one of the best bassists ever.
Alex is so underrated, he is very skillfull and instinctive, he always shines, so full of feelings. you can´t overshadow Geddy and Neil.
Neil Peart has penned some of the greatest lyrics in the history of rock. The insight and depth of his thoughts, speaks to many and is a major reason (besides their musicianship) why, Rush is a beloved band. There're many great Rush tunes with incredible lyrics on many topics that are relevant today. Two song that are just beautifully written is "The Pass and Losing it", like Bravado it's the softer side of Rush but the words just speak to you. More upbeat songs from a rhythm pov, you can look at "Subdivision and Red Sector A" and from a political pov there's "The Weapon and Witch Hunt". Then you have the Rush epics mostly pre 80's, try "Xanadu and Natural Science". You also have story telling songs like "2112 and The Necromancer". Lastly, if you want to understand why Neil has a drum kit that surrounds him, check the live video of his drum solo in Frankfurt.
Thx enjoyed the reaction, have fun if you decide to dive into the Rush rabbit hole. Cheers.
What an amazing live version of this tune....great guitar , great everything, the emotion Geddy puts into the vocals,,wow !!!
Ladies you really need to listen to The Garden live you will love it!!!
Moving Rush fans to tears oer the long and empty year. Cheers Neil.
Hey, longer. Rush packed it in in 2015.
Check out these Rush videos...
- Working Man Live in Cleveland

- So many more... Rush has decades of amazing music
Bravado One of my favorites.
Great question Leann. I watched Rush live and during his drum solo he actually played in rhythm while his drum set revolved around him. I do know he revolves them to create different tones . Love you and Ari.
Beautiful reaction for a beautiful song. More Rush!
Quote from Kirk Hammett of Metallica about Rush: "My mind was just totally blown", "I see them as the high priests of conceptual metal. Big influence; huge" (Netflix: Beyond the Lighted Stage)
Oh... just wait until you start exploring the lyrics in their mid 80's - mid 90's catalog!
"Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire"
Or...
"All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars"
Or still...
"I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
Are the liberators here, do I hope or do I fear?
For my father and my brother, it's too late
But I must help my mother stand up straight"
Other than being the world's best drummer, Neil Peart was an absolute fucking genius with words.
Ooohhhh, mission they need to react to that one!!!!
"Any escape may help to smooth
the unattractive truth
but the suburbs have no chance to soothe
the restless dreams of youth"
or
"We are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time"
Thanks Nick for requesting this !!!! Thanks L&A for doing it !! Neil was the best song writer, ever. Check out more of their songs and you will see just how freakin awesome the lyrics are. It makes me sad that they will never be again. Im so fortunate to have seen them through the years. Great reaction ladies. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Neil's lyrics are spectacular. "The Pass" is a real gripping tune about suicide. "Territories" is a piece about nationalism and patriotism. "Subdivisions" is a great statement about conformity and social pressure. "The Garden" is all about leaving a legacy (fitting, as it was the last song on their last album). They even did a couple of love songs ("Ghost of a Chance," "The Speed of Love"). "Ghost Rider" and "Afterimage" about dealing with losing loved ones, "Vapor Trail" is about the transience of life.
A broad range of subjects over their career. I think it's one of the reasons they got a reputation as a "nerdy" band. They weren't just singing about partying and girls like most other rock bands. They had opinions on stuff. They wanted to tackle actual issues. It makes the music difficult for some people, because it comes across as pretentious, but for a lot of fans, that willingness to write outside the box is what made them special and unique.
If you like thoughtful lyrics, there’s a treasure-trove with Rush. Closer to the Heart is a good example from early in their career, and The Garden from their last album. And this isn’t how they close a show - look up Working Man live in Cleveland. They are pushing 60 at this concert and absolutely shred! Cheers.
Three LEGENDS!
You should check out more Rush, you won't be disappointed.
RIP PROFESSOR.
CHEERS FROM 🇨🇦
You chose a very beautiful and melodic Rush song! And this version is very emotional. I love it. I was fortunate enough to see them live. RIP Neil Peart.
Just stumbled across this reaction from quite a ways back. Glad you liked this one-it’s among their best. Neil really goes full octopus with that beat during the final choruses.
RIP Professor Neil Peart! Rush is one iconic power trio! Another comment mentioned Neil's drum solos. My suggestion is to react his solo at a concert in Frankfurt, Germany. Out of his all drums solos, this one is most iconic! I was fortunate enough to see Rush in concert when they did their Time Machine tour in West Palm Beach in 2010. Neil did a version of his drum solos. Alex, guitarist retired from touring. Geddy Lee is still involved in music. Last time, he stepped in for his late friend, Chris Squire of the band, Yes. Yes were inducted into Rock Hall of Fame in 2017. He jammed with Yes during the ceremony.
Nice! My favorite band for many years. Thanks! One of my favorite songs by them.
They always end on a banger like working man never on a ballad. Great reaction ladies
Other Rush songs you would love our mission, resist, marathon and nobody's hero or the pass!!! So many great ones!!!!
This is a lovely song that takes me back to my high school years. One of my personal favorites. Great reaction!
More Rush reactions please? They're my favorite band . Neil is also known for being your favorite drummers, favorite drummer
Those are two drum kits (acoustic and electronic). The back kit rotates in front of him when he plays an electronic drum song. Also used in his solos. Watch a Neil Peart drum solo and you will see each and every drum and cymbal played. It will also blow you away...
Thanks for the info!
Cool that you picked this one, not one many chooses but they are so focking good!
Neil was a poet who also wrote great songs, & several prose books, 6 I think! Along with being one of the top rock drummers EVER!!! I saw them in 1974 for the first time & 5 more times!
This album came out the year I got engaged in this kind of became mine and hers album so every time I hear this song it takes me back to the early days with her. we were married for 23 years now divorced almost seven. A bittersweet song to me.
That outro. Wow! So good.
Juup amazing song love his voice...thank you for reacting to an amazing Band!!!keep this Sound alive✌...stay real and healthy!!
2:45 I'll spare you the specifics of Neil's kit, but it basically works like this; in the front he has a regular acoustic kit, and in the back he has an electronic kit he uses for his drum solo every show. The drum stand can rotate 360 degrees, so they just rotate that kit in front of him when he's ready.
You can spot it because the acoustic kit has regular brass cymbals while the electronic kit has black rubber cymbals.
Great reaction you guys! Leann I love how you love Lyrics! SO MUCH Rush to listen & react to! Right off the bat, "Xanadu" off "Exit Stage Left Live '81", (immediately!..) then "Natural Science" ( studio ) off Permanent Waves album, then "Camera Eye", ( studio ) "Limelight" & "Tom Sawyer" (official vevo videos ) off Moving Pictures album. That's just a good start!
Keep Rocking' Rush you two!!
He had two kits, the main kit you see in this song,and behind him is an electronic kit. His drum riser spins around. Watch the song Clockwork Angels from the tour and see him play both kits in the song without missing a beat.☮️🇨🇦
Neil's drum set is actually 2 drum sets. It's an acoustic set across the front and an electronic set behind him. The drum riser rotates, so on songs where he needs the electric kit it spins around to face the audience and then spins back around when not needed.
Please please please, ALWAYS review the lyrics for Rush songs. It's important. I feel the many lessons I've learned though Rush's music and lyrics has greatly contributed my mental health and the way I look at life. Thank you Alex, Geddy and Neil.
Yes the drums, Neil had 2 kits, one analog and one digital, he used the analog kit in this video.
They used to rotate it 180 degrees during the drum solo (there's a video of such a solo from Frankfurt on youtube).
He used the digital kit to play the songs from the mid 80's, from the "Grace Under Pressure" and "Power Windows" albums mostly.
And "Scars" from Presto -- one of my personal fav Neil arrangements...
The back ones are a full electronic kit. The whole drum stage revolves.
My all time fav band!
The Three Guys Orchestra
Rest in Power Neil Peart!
The last song they recorded was "The Garden." An absolute beauty of a song. Check out when they play it on their Clockwork Angels tour. You'll love it.
Wow I thought I was a Rush disciple. First time I hear this one. Beautiful song. Those guys never stopped challenging themselves which is to be commended and repeated. RIP Neil. 😪😪😪
Welcome to the world of Rush music if you love the instruments and lyrics then Rush are for you. Please do more. Freewill next please.
One of my favorite Rush songs. This was near the middle of the concert. I have the DVD. The last song was Working Man. He looks like whoever you want him to look like.😄😄😜. 3 artists who were at the top of their craft year after year. Check out Marathon and especially The Mission live video. Alex's solo at the end is very passionate.
Neil Peart Drum Solo - Rush Live in Frankfurt will show you how he uses all them drums. RIP to a legend, Neil “the Professor” Peart.
Great reaction to my favorite band! If you like Bravado, check out these other more contemplative gems from Rush’s deep catalog. So many to choose from!
- Losing It
- Nobody’s Hero
- The Pass
- Resist
- Second Nature
- Tai Shan
- Different Strings
After listening to The Garden......."What?! I'm not crying! I just have something in my eyes"
It's the final song on their final album 😔
Enjoyed the reaction!
Take care ✌
Yeah! You're back!
'Neil Peart's Guide to Neil Peart's Drums'
Straight from the horse's mouth, Neil explains his drummer setup. Very soothing voice. You can feel the deep thoughts from which most of Rush's lyrics came just in the tone of it.
My favorite Rush song
The whole drum set spins - you guys have literally cracked open Pandora’s box here.
The legion of loyal fans stretches across the planet and it would be difficult to find any of them who weren’t decent people. The band set the standard for so many things, and being decent people was one of them. I hope you dive head first into this very deep catalog. ✌🏻🤟🏻
Hello ladies. Thanks for reacting to this! Always enjoyable to watch you 2 reacting to great music. I'm glad you both enjoyed it. I hate offering suggestions, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone ever suggest Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi to any reactor. It's Bhangra Pop performed in Punjabi, but the video is very colorful, entertaining, and unintentionally humorous. The dance he does was encoded to one of the character races in World of Warcraft. I hope you ladies are doing well and have a wonderful week! ~Be Blessed
Neil uses every drum in the kit on his R30 Frankfurt drum solo. Great job with Y-Y-Zed pronunciation! Neil's surname is pronounced "Peert".
Keep up the great reactions! Hope there will be more future Rush reactions. Their catalog is diverse & iconic. Much Aloha from Maui!
Front part of the drum kit is mostly acoustic, the rear part is electronic, which different sounds can be assigned to each pad. The entire set rotates so he can always face the audience no matter which kit he is playing.
The entire Roll the Bones album is some of Neil's best lyrical writing. The whole concept of the album is about taking chances and letting the chips fall as they may, and even how random chance may dictate where we start from, but doesn't mean that that is where we'll stay. It was easily one of the top three albums of the final 20 years of their run. Not a bad song on it.
You should watch Neil's solo from Frankfurt. You will get to see the full scope of his skills and how his drum riser works.
That's amazing, thanks so much for the info!
Neil Peart's drum set not only completely encircled him, but it was also on a turntable. He would spin it 180 degrees and turn around on his pedestal chair so he would face the audience to play the other side of drums.
The drum set rotates. You need to watch his R30 Drum Solo - it’s a work of art, you won’t be bored or disappointed. Trust me 😎
Neil also wrote lyrics - probably while on his bike crossing America or Europe. "Cotton Tail" - Neil's jazz drum solo you go to see that ladies. As a tribute player in a former Rush Tribute Band and the drums like his. (It cost me a fortune - but mine aren't gold plated). My favourite to play is Tom Sawyer for the endurance test and Red Barchetta. I'm 60 now but will retire to Jazz soon before those solos kill me.
Alright ladies if you're willing to go down the RUSH rabbit hole consider these:
1. The Garden (Live)
2. Freewill (Live)
3. Neil Peart Drum Solo: RUSH Live in Frankfurt
RUSH IN RIO 🤟🤟🤟
If you want to see Neil use the drums and the rotation to their fullest effect than you need to watch his solo on David Letterman or in the series you are watching "Rush In Rio". Very much enjoy seeing reactions from other Genres other than Men from the Great White North.
Just incredible...what can you say 🇨🇦👈
The most important thing about Rush is Alex Lifeson played Closer to the Heart with THE Bubbles of Sunnyvale trailer park.
If you liked this one, you should check out these RUSH songs: Mission, The Pass, Nobody’s Hero, Losing It
Quick explanation about Neil Peart's drum kit. ...his kit is divided into 2 parts 1 acoustic side (wood drums) back half all electronic with some percussion instruments cowbells etc. and then as you probably know his kit rotated ...very cool to see..
Ahhhhh ok, thank you so much for the info!
@@LEANNxARI you are welcome..
There’s a great documentary on the band on Netflix called “beyond the lighted stage” you should really check it out if you have the time. Great reaction try keep up the great work 😊
the whole set rotates
Great reaction ladies as usual👍🏻🤘🏻 my favourite ever rush track is “subdivisions”.hope u react to that one day.best wishes from king parrot 🦜.
R.i.p. Neil Peart.
Let’s definitely do the garden. Also Recommend the past and tears from rush also. Nice reaction
Neil's drum kit is basically two separate kits: an elaborate traditional kit in the front, and behind him is a kit consisting of mostly electronic drums (for producing a wide variety of sounds for various songs). As a bonus, he has a set of Midi pads, which give him xylophone sounds among other things. (long ago, this was an actual xylophone in his kit, but as Neil himself was fond of saying "old drums are great, but NEW drums are BETTER!"). I agree with the other commenters that watching his Frankfurt solo (readily available on CZcams) showcases all of the bells-and-whistles in his drum setup, including sounds he can "trigger" by hitting certain drums/cymbals. It also shows why he's considered one of the best ever. Enjoy.
Beautiful song! Great reaction ladies.
If lyrics are your thing, then look no further than Neil Peart, Rush's drummer and primary lyricist. The 70's output is more sci-fi oriented, but late 70's, into the 80's, he really began writing with a social consciousness.
Where to go from here? I HIGHLY suggest checking out Subdivisions (you may appreciate how you felt in your teenage years with this one - especially if you were a misfit or nerd!)
2112 (looking at a dystopian future where music and freewill are prohibited - it's a 23 minute 'epic' journey!)
Neil wrote a trilogy that deals with the 'darker' side of the human condition. These tracks are:
Witch Hunt, The Weapon & The Enemy Within (known as the Fear trilogy) - very poignant and applicable in our society today!
Limelight (on the difficulty of dealing with stardom - Neil has always been shy & a somewhat reluctant 'celebrity')
Red Sector A (dealing with the Holocaust - Geddy Lee's (bassist/vocalist) parents were holocaust survivors)
The Spirit Of Radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Manhattan Project, Mystic Rhythms, The Garden...
That's just for starters. I shied away from their earlier stuff - lyrics were still amazing, but less relatable, perhaps.
Enjoy!!
It's basically two drum kits back to back, for different songs and styles. It rotates to bring one or the other to the front.
I'll echo other comments in saying if you are curious about Neil's setup, check out Neil's solo. You can pic any of them online to watch, they are all always on point (Neil doesn't miss a beat, lol, ever!) but Frankfurt is popular. Also I'm sure it's been said already in the comments but Neil wrote probably 97% of the lyrics for Rush. He's intelligent, well read, and enjoyed writing. He has written, I believe, maybe eight books?! He was a very interesting enigma to me and probably mist. Quiet and reserved, and preferred to stay out of the Limelight (lol, Rush song), so Alex and Geddy did mostly all the public promoting Rush and meet and greets and such. Even, at the end of their shows, Neil would stand up, wave and dip out, while Alex and Geddy said goodnight and bowed. I've seen them around 10 times and only once did I see Neil come out from behind the drums and join the other two at the end of a shoe and that was their very last show on their last tour. Bittersweet.
You really should react to this Neil Peart drum solo, using the whole setup: czcams.com/video/LWRMOJQDiLU/video.html
It's a masterclass!! Also two of their most famous songs if you want: "Spirit of the Radio" and "Tom Sawyer"
Yep
All will be revealed!
You should check out the studio version also. Sounds great!
You two need to listen to The Garden live !!
The last song, that they usually ended with, was "Working Man". This whole concert from start to finish is fantastic. and Neil's last name is pronounced as (Peert)
Like “ear.”
Y’all have so much RUSH to listen to Try the Garden
I saw this tour
Thank you...quite a rush....:)
His last name is pronounced P-Ear-t. Like saying ear. Yes Neil's drumset rotates during his drum solo. And Neil has been writing the lyrics for Rush since 1974/75.
Highly recommend you listen to “Losing it” from their Signals album. Rarely performed live, but included in their farewell tour set.
Neil took your favorite lyric from an author named John Barth. Thought a bookworm might like to know that. 😉
You need to react to Xanadu from the live video Exit Stage Left and also 2112. For 2112, I recommend the studio version because it's 20+ minutes long and most if not all live versions are not complete. There is a version of 2112 with illustrations which help tell the story and that is cool too.
Also, I STRONGLY reccomend Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd from The Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. There is a remastered version on CZcams.
watch one of his drum solos to get the idea
His drum set is actually 3 sets combined into one
Studio versions are better for an initial listening. This song is an absolute beauty and live version is more appreciated once you kind of know the lyrics. Great reactions ladies.
Older Neil looks more like older Buster Keaton.
Wow two beautiful girls listening to Rush??
Leann taking an interest in drummers I see awesome and ari liking the bass guitar you guys should start a band Leann if you wanna watch some of the most incredible female drummers out there check out Miss Taylor Gordon aka the pocket queen she’s phenomenal as a drummer myself she’s an influence
I suggest a Neil peart drum solo to better understand his set up and how really awesome he was.
Absolutely!!
For instruction from the “Professor”...his solo“Live in Frankfurt” explains everything.
