My nephew did the drum set up (and I just found out that he did the video as well), and met Neil during this shoot. Said Neil was a very kind and pleasant person even without the cameras on. What you see is what you get. By the way, I have those drums sticks hanging up in my music room. RIP Neil. You were the Master of the drums.
What an awesome experience that must've been. And congrats on getting the sticks! I tried to get them at the R30 tour-I'm the STICK PLEASE guy Neil wrote about in Roadshow-but no dice! I'm over it and just so appreciative for Neil's genius and inspiration.
He just seemed like such a nice man and it sucks when bad things happen to nice people. Neil endured more tragedy than one man should have to and he handled it with such dignity. He could have drank or did drugs to ease his pain but that wasn't Neil Peart. Instead, he went on a journey reflection and self discovery. Neil Peart was one of the greatest musicians of all time and the music world will forever be at a loss without him. There will always be a void where once stood a giant and brought joy to so many. R.I.P Mr. Peart.
A rock drummer practices a somewhat of a jazz groove, to practice going up on stage playing a massive gorgeous DW collectors series drum kit, and play intricate, metronomic, and progressive rock patterns. A fucking legend
The more you read and understand about Neil's life and "journey" in drumming, the more you respect his resilience, individualism, bravery and sheer stamina.
I met Neil at DW headquarters in Camarillo, CA along with John Good. Neil autographed a Remo drumhead for me and my son. Cool guys. Also met Louie the guy who does all his drum kit artwork. We all had lunch together. Will cherish that experience forever
I’m a Canadian and to me the most patriotic moment of my entire life will be listening to Rush preform YYZ at Molson while looking at the CN Tower. RIP Neil Peart
This is why he was so damn brilliant Perseverance and practice and damn hard work Every Rush song he played on was done to perfection - listening through all the albums since the awful news of his death, it’s remarkable how brilliant always was RIP Professor
Audience: Wow !!, thanks for the magnificent solo Professor, amazing !!. Professor: "That was just my warm-up".... This is just a sample of how gifted this man was. RIP Professor, you are missed. True inspiration of a man.
Your favorites, but not the best ever lol. They had huge influence on rock music, sure, but they’re far from the best. Even in rock there are far better drummers.
@@IarwainBen-adar Ian Paice, Dany Carey, Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Terry Bozzio, Gavin Harrison, Carter Beauford... The list goes on. That’s just a start, popular names, and it’s only for rock. You dont wan’t to go into the jazz/jazz fusion/progressive rock discussion lol.
When I had my set back in late seventies, I tried playing along via the radio listening to, Rush particularly, the out of this world, master genius that ea Mr. Peart. Will miss him dearly!!!. I am wil always be a"Rush" fan. Sure wish I, could've seen them live in concert!!! Him and, Carmen Apice, and not forget; the Police drummer are my muscial heros for sure!!! I am uniquely qualified to show such respect because; I am an African American female drummer or was back then. Oh how I miss it now with my, inspiration passing!!!! Rest in peace my drum master. Hanging out now with the drummer greats in paradise!!! Yep!!!😀😀😀😀
He really made drums sing. They just sound so coherent and pleasing. I used to be able to work to his drum instructional dvd; any other music would distract me.
Miss him and live Rush so much. I'm always hoping something he wrote is recorded by the guys and put out. They've got so much left in the tank it's hard but respectable.
I'm going to tell everybody right now that playing a 3/4 beat with your feet and a 4/4 solo with your hands is fucking HARD...20% of all drummers can do this and that might be stretching it. RIP NEIL 🙏
At 1:07 the jazz riff he plays sounds like something from "Studio - Jazz Drum Cookbook" by John Pickering, or the classic Chapin book "Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer Volume 1"
I picked out some bits and pieces of exercises contained in 'Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer' by Ted Reed in that opening jazzy routine. At least sounded like it to my ear. Even seasoned pros (understatement, that) go back to tried and true exercises for warm-up practice.
Ok, two things first thing. It was a joke, so chill out, maybe pull the broom out of your ass. secondly. if you knew ANYTHING about "The Professor" as you call him, and many other call him, you'd know he doesn't take himself too seriously at all. He doesn't like getting accolades and getting praised by people in any way. it's not a personal thing, he just gets extremely uncomfortable, and shy. In fact, he'd probably have a good laugh at the look a like comparison we just made.
JoeJoe I'm well aware of Pratt's proclivity to avoid accolades and fawning fans... we are the same age and lived in virtually the same town. Matter of fact, my dad used to buy parts from Neil's dad for his tractor. I've grown up with and observed him grow into the amazingly nuanced and brilliant drummer, writer, philosopher that he is. Believe it or not, I got your joke and have heard or read the same reference to Hank's appearance more time than I can remember. That being said... Hanks is still a giant gapping douche bag and it offends me when Pratt is compared to him... even in jest. Hugs
THE MASTER showing how it's done. Love the end part where the hi hat is doing a double beat and everything else is going independently. Try doing that ya'll.
Stuart H Yup Exactly...I thought the sound of the 1500 year old DWs he played on the R40 tour sounded amazing. They reminded me of that rich sound of his Tama drums from the 80s.
Stuart H No I don’t think that’s the issue. For the period of time that I grew up listening to them, mid 80’s, Neil’s drums had a range that was just musical and his image was partly based on “his sound” that was unmistakable. When Test For Echo came along it wasn’t so much that his sound had changed but his overall approach to his new style. IMO from that point on I always felt he was trying to play in a style that sounded forced and because his style changed so did his sound (ie playing). Neil’s performance on TFE was just weak and Vapor Trails was even worse. Neil’s DW kits became a fixture of their shows with their flashy paint jobs and inlays and gold plating.....those are cool but to me it’s the sound that matters and his kits were always lacking from TFE to the end and his RRO TT kit was decent but it just sounded so dead.....flat but warm. Neil’s traditional sound was tight, quick, sharp, responsive and yet resonate; everything his DW kits weren’t. Even the way he loosened up his hi-hats. They used to give a nice chick chick sound and when they were opened it was quick and sweet. Then he wanted to take Peter Erskine’s advice and he loosened his hi-hats to the point of flopping.....they sounded horrible. I still stay the worse thing that ever happened to Neil Peart as a musician was being introduced to Freddie Gruber. Freddie robbed Neil of his passionate creative and powerful style and put the thought into Neil’s mind that he could be a jazz musician and incorporate that into Rush music. Test For Echo is a perfect example of what Freddie did to Neil’s playing. So the short of it is not jealousy because Neil has a drum set that costs a bazillion dollars. NO. I think it’s more than that. I think the overall story of how Neil came to use those horrible sounding drums via Freddie and how Freddie robbed Neil’s passion THAT is at the heart of why people don’t like Neil behind a set of DWs. They want to hear and see him playing his double bass drum candy apple red Tama kit, pink and purple parkle Ludwig kit or his blue or purple Ludwig kits because he made a name for himself on those kits. Don’t get me started on Neil switching to Sabian. That was more of a Canadian loyalty thing plus Zildjian wasn’t going to create a line of cymbals tailor made to Neil’s specifications. I hated to see Neil retire but I think he needed to. I can only imagine what kind of havoc you can do to your body after 40+ years of touring so they deserve a long break. They’ve made their point and made it well. I saw Rush in Greensboro NC during their final 2015 R40 tour and left the auditorium sad because instrument wise Rush was on point but it was sad to hear the condition of Geddy’s voice......he had one of THE best voices in rock and he sounded tired. They gave us decades of music so I should be happy.........but those DWs of his really sucked.
John Tetreault According to who?? Because what sounds good is subjective. What I think sounds good you may not like. It doesn’t make either one of us right or wrong because they are after all our opinions. Sorry you can’t grasp that concept.
Each drummer contributes with something to the evolution of the species! Neil is as genious in criativity! Swing is his very weak side, but ok! I think the fact he can't swing is is related to his rigid personality and rigid conception of existence. Seems to me that after "Signals" his drumming became to be more and more rigid. By the way, in track "Losing It", his jazzy-swing is brilliant. But that's ok. His contribution in inventiveness make history and entered into eternity of the drum history.
Kevin Kelly. He used that fabric cycling band (Velcro closed) to keep his right pant leg tight so the bass drum beater wouldn’t get caught in the pants.
I'd watch this guy buy drum sticks! He's the best and just everything he does I watch and is love to say I emulate or try anything Neil does because I can't and I know I play drums my way and only another musician understands that. His warm up is better than most JAZZ/ROCK drummers whole sets!!! Dave Groul trying to take his spot with RUSH IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE! It's just stupid! I can't even reference a suitable amount of words to explain how wrong or fucktarded that is! Who took over at shooting guard for Jordan? When Kareem retires who was the center? When Emmit left the cowboys who played RB? I couldn't thinking a suitable music reference because there is none and nobody can play like or as good as this guy. In my life there is many fine drummers I love and have mattered to me! My drummers list is weird and different but the top ten is the greatest in my life that I listened to and Neil is number one and nobody has even close. Buddy Rich was really cool and there's a few from that period of time and music but in Rock there's 1 guy who is the best if the best and it's NEIL! He is it! Dave Grhoul is ducking not even top 10 right now! This warm up is just his warm up and when I watch him He's never strained to a point where he's at his limit! Is love to see Neil on the edge where he's at that point! I don't think that point exists! I read that Dave G.( can't spell his last name) is gonna go on with RUSH now and I was floored! Its gonna be 2nd rate and RUSH nor anyone deserves to have some shit head on their heels! Rock is in trouble and it's the kinda shit that makes me see and know that! Imagine some guy saying " yeah I'm gonna take over for Hendrix now and go on your with the experience!" WTF? P.S. watched this 3 times! Thank you for posting it!

RIP Neil. You were the Master of the drums.
He was a great human all around, he definitely earned the nickname “The Professor.”
What a awesome story. 👍love hearing the man , the legend, the professor 👨🏫
What an awesome experience that must've been. And congrats on getting the sticks! I tried to get them at the R30 tour-I'm the STICK PLEASE guy Neil wrote about in Roadshow-but no dice! I'm over it and just so appreciative for Neil's genius and inspiration.
Ya, so say
After all these years, still warming up 30 mins twice on a show day. Consummate professionnal.
My favorite drummer of all time passed away. I'm so sad right now. Rest in peace Neil. My condolences to his family and friends, RUSH.😭☹😦
He is every normie boomers favourite drummer
He just seemed like such a nice man and it sucks when bad things happen to nice people. Neil endured more tragedy than one man should have to and he handled it with such dignity.

Neil was an utter perfectionist, his mind blowing talent is sorely missed.
A rock drummer practices a somewhat of a jazz groove, to practice going up on stage playing a massive gorgeous DW collectors series drum kit, and play intricate, metronomic, and progressive rock patterns. A fucking legend
Makes total sense, Jazz is not simple in any way
Nailed it.
Most complete drummer and an erudite gentleman...the world will miss u
The more you read and understand about Neil's life and "journey" in drumming, the more you respect his resilience, individualism, bravery and sheer stamina.
No doubt! I'm a guitar player, and Neil is one pf my favorite musicians because of his skill and professional attitude.
Monster player, incredible musician, composer of the highest order!
Couldn't agree more. What a huge loss, not only to the music world but to the human race. A beautiful man, mind and heart. 🙏😔💗
Patient (C's ) time, our own time
I met Neil at DW headquarters in Camarillo, CA along with John Good. Neil autographed a Remo drumhead for me and my son. Cool guys. Also met Louie the guy who does all his drum kit artwork. We all had lunch together. Will cherish that experience forever
I’m a Canadian and to me the most patriotic moment of my entire life will be listening to Rush preform YYZ at Molson while looking at the CN Tower. RIP Neil Peart
This is why he was so damn brilliant
Perseverance and practice and damn hard work
Every Rush song he played on was done to perfection - listening through all the albums since the awful news of his death, it’s remarkable how brilliant always was
RIP Professor
Even his warm-ups are melodic and musical. Pure class and a one in a billion talent.
Miss this incredible professional professor for all and hearing and learning every time to see any content and concert is possible RIP Neil 🙏🥁🔔🥲
Neil is one of the best drummers ever of any genre. He was a genius behind the drum kit
RIP Neil...you were the best drummer ever.
We'll miss you, Neil.
Neil Peart has an approach to every aspect of his own drumming techniques that is explained in precise detail.
at 1:25 hits the bass drum like a boxer hitting a speed bag.
Greatest drummer of all time. 💜🙏🏻
So flawless at keeping that pocket,it's amazing.
Audience: Wow !!, thanks for the magnificent solo Professor, amazing !!. Professor: "That was just my warm-up".... This is just a sample of how gifted this man was. RIP Professor, you are missed. True inspiration of a man.
Never ceased to amaze us all! Gorgeous kit also! RIP
Since he changed to traditional grip, he's an all-drum soundtrack for movies and tv. Just mesmerizing listening to all those nuances.
The 5 greatest drummers of all time have left us. Baker, Rich, Moon, Bonham and Peart
Danny Carey’s still alive
Yeah dude moons no match for danny!!!
Your favorites, but not the best ever lol. They had huge influence on rock music, sure, but they’re far from the best. Even in rock there are far better drummers.
@@Ogilla okay who...
@@IarwainBen-adar Ian Paice, Dany Carey, Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Terry Bozzio, Gavin Harrison, Carter Beauford... The list goes on.

Rush, three as one! 🇨🇦

Miss him and live Rush so much. I'm always hoping something he wrote is recorded by the guys and put out. They've got so much left in the tank it's hard but respectable.
The wear mark on his snare head shows just how precise he was.
GREATEST DRUMMER EVER!!!!! I have many picks and sticks from a lifetime of concerts. 2 Eddie Van Halen picks and a Neil Peart drum stick top my list.
".....and then go to work".
John McLeod he’s a goddamn legend
He is GOD... what a great human being the professor...
Shows his precision with the little patch on his snare drum worn away..RIP man.
Never been a Rush fan per se... but how can one not respect this Giant?

RIP, the professor has left the building xx
I'm going to tell everybody right now that playing a 3/4 beat with your feet and a 4/4 solo with your hands is fucking HARD...20% of all drummers can do this and that might be stretching it.
RIP NEIL 🙏
I love how this guy talks! R.I.P N.Peart
Best drummer ever. R I P Neil.
Brother Neil...AKA "The Professor"
The Professor at play!!!
Plays relax then goes does a 2 1/2 show and plays like a beast.its not about his technique.Its about the parts he created for RUSH...FANTASTIC
Amazing percussionist!
The soundtrack of my life......
The man, the Myth, The Legend
Looks so darn easy... Maestro !
We will miss you professor 💚💐🤟🏼
R.I.P! A great drummer! Groove Master!
He's doing double kick with one foot, nice.
I think I was hypnotized there for a second. I just had blank stare looking at my phone because I was so mesmerized
RIP to a legend :(
I also like Neil Peart more than anything in the whole world.
At 1:07 the jazz riff he plays sounds like something from "Studio - Jazz Drum Cookbook" by John Pickering, or the classic Chapin book "Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer Volume 1"
What a blessing he's been to all musicians ❤
Neil... :’(
[ RIP ]
Rest in Peace Mr Peart X
1 second standard of International System Units has been calibrated with Neil Peart timing
yea
@Barren Savant fuck that fatass bastard baker
I picked out some bits and pieces of exercises contained in 'Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer' by Ted Reed in that opening jazzy routine. At least sounded like it to my ear. Even seasoned pros (understatement, that) go back to tried and true exercises for warm-up practice.
His warmup is more skillful than the performances of 98% of drummers working today.
The master professor!
cant stop watching the high hat and his left foot...
God walked among us... I'm proud to have seen him 5x .... Thanks Neil... Love ya ♥️
Only 5?
I was late to the party (2004)... 5 is better than 0 😎
I didn't know that Tom Hanks was such an extraordinary drummer XD What an amazing musician. Thanks for the vid!
XD, Chad Smith is great. Bill Hicks (jeff Porcaro) is great on drums as well
Tom Hanks...🙄
What an insult to the greatness of The Professor.
Hanks is a douche bag.

Drum God!
It would take me years of hard work just to be able to do the first 8 bars of his warm up. That was a clinic in itself.
Uses the same grip (non-match grip), Buddy Rich uses for his warm ups. And he warms up with jazz as opposed to prog rock. A multi-faceted musician.
I like Rush. Rush is my favorite Canadian Rock Band in the whole world. 🇨🇦
Awesome
Very good player, I like it.
Not sure why everyone picks on his choice of drums; they sound pretty good to me. Maybe everyone is just jealous they can't afford as nice of a set?
Stuart H Yup Exactly...I thought the sound of the 1500 year old DWs he played on the R40 tour sounded amazing.
They reminded me of that rich sound of his Tama drums from the 80s.
I bought a set of dw because they were the closest sonically to my old Slingerlands....
Stuart H No I don’t think that’s the issue.

The original beats in the initial warm-up is so Ginger Bakererest Love it
Great sounding cybal
Please put more drumming up 🙂😃
bit difficult now bud...
@@russbooth6766 There has to be more footage
I love that you rarely see Neil not wearing Rush merch. lol.
That's the most musical warm up I ever heard
Neil's warm up > most guys rehearsed solo......RIP Professor....It breaks my heart that we have to say that.
Any time i see niel play any size kit i can only think of what yoda said
"Size matters not"
No words
I wasn't done watching... R.I.P. Neil
Thanks a lot...RIP😑
Each drummer contributes with something to the evolution of the species! Neil is as genious in criativity! Swing is his very weak side, but ok! I think the fact he can't swing is is related to his rigid personality and rigid conception of existence. Seems to me that after "Signals" his drumming became to be more and more rigid. By the way, in track "Losing It", his jazzy-swing is brilliant. But that's ok. His contribution in inventiveness make history and entered into eternity of the drum history.
Billy Ponzio Jazz @ funny you mention “Losing it” that is such a deep tune that people don’t appreciate as much as they should have !!!
Yeah he can't swing. I don't see anything particularly creative either. Just another tech boy going through some triplet exercises.
God bless you Neil rest in peace. 😎🇨🇦👍
RIP good man ❤️✌️
Warmup? That beat is something I would consider as a whole song
Amen
A genius
That's pretty much how I warm up (except for that bit between 1:42 and 1:49). Except the Professor does it much better than I.
beautiful
What kind of mics are on his Toms?
Eddie Thomas Audio Technica
He's a giant behind that regular kit
Just curious if anyone knows what kind or recognizes his shoes ?
those are custom made dancing shoes soft soles
He should’ve had a masterclass. RIP
Sweet Jones III fuck me I didn’t know. I deserved to be cancelled :(
RIP Neil
What’s he doing with his left foot? I thought it might be his double bass but it’s moving, so what is it?
Hihat cymbals stand.
I loved him in Forrest Gump.
Anyone know the significance of the band around the kick leg?
Kevin Kelly. He used that fabric cycling band (Velcro closed) to keep his right pant leg tight so the bass drum beater wouldn’t get caught in the pants.
its the same thing bike riders use to keep their pant leg out of the chain
Neil peart warm up routine: *being rude to everyone but the band*
"Nice solo!"
"That was just my warmup."
...everybody take notes...
RIP, man...
I'd watch this guy buy drum sticks! He's the best and just everything he does I watch and is love to say I emulate or try anything Neil does because I can't and I know I play drums my way and only another musician understands that.

Dave Groul trying to take his spot with RUSH IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE!
It's just stupid! I can't even reference a suitable amount of words to explain how wrong or fucktarded that is! Who took over at shooting guard for Jordan?
When Kareem retires who was the center?
When Emmit left the cowboys who played RB?
I couldn't thinking a suitable music reference because there is none and nobody can play like or as good as this guy. In my life there is many fine drummers I love and have mattered to me! My drummers list is weird and different but the top ten is the greatest in my life that I listened to and Neil is number one and nobody has even close.

Is love to see Neil on the edge where he's at that point! I don't think that point exists! I read that Dave G.( can't spell his last name) is gonna go on with RUSH now and I was floored! Its gonna be 2nd rate and RUSH nor anyone deserves to have some shit head on their heels! Rock is in trouble and it's the kinda shit that makes me see and know that! Imagine some guy saying " yeah I'm gonna take over for Hendrix now and go on your with the experience!" WTF?
