I sold my Ludwig set and Zildjian. Can't top this I quit and still. It was right rhe worlds utmost percussionist. The sense or incense intensity of timing. Ya. Awesome.
I remember in concert seeing Neil flip a drumstick up beyond the stage lights, still playing with both feet and his other hand, no look-catch, as effortlessly as if someone had just handed it to him...Godspeed Neil Peart, a dazzling presentation of what humans can be capable of...
Yea, my most noted talk about Pert is just that as well, 30=40=feet in the air and hes not even looking at it... catches... im like, fuck...... the drumming is great but that catch is even more better.
@@RobMonty248 I was just telling the guys at work this very thing last week. We were talking about concerts we'd been to and this is the first thing that always comes to my mind. As a drummer, I was watching him intently the whole night and when he threw that stick and caught it like that, I was floored. Even though it was in the late 70's, I can still see it like it happened last night.
@@woreoutdrummer1861 Yea, I just about threw my sticks in a camp fire. A no look, 50+ foot stick throw and its catches it.... Yea.... thats magic, not talent! lol
I realize that the original comment is from eight years ago. But, find it appalling that you give credit to an imaginary sky god when Neil's amazing skill came from his constant practice and learning throughout his career. He continued to take lessons and studied different drummers and drumming styles until he retired. Give credit where credit is due; Neil and only Neil.
Neil Peart, the best there.was ...the best there is .. the best there will ever be!! Thank you for the countless hours of beautiful music. RIP 🙏 Neil!!
My ticket for the 1993 tour of North America had me sitting above Neil at the Phoenix state fair Arena, and I was wise enough to bring binoculars to a concert for the first time! Despite the best seat in the house to watch Neil, the binoculars brought me into a much closer, private world with Neil. I could see his sweat fly, I could read his facial expressions, I could see the spittle building up on his lips. I had seen Rush a dozen times prior to that night, but watching Neil from such a personal POV that night provided me with an experience that I didn’t know I craved! My eyes were glued on Neil for an entire show. It was akin to witnessing (insert “greatest ever” here) to seeing Mozart or Beethoven perform. It will be generations before another Neil Peart arrives. So grateful that we got to enjoy him while he was human.
Note to heaven: Heaven.....your about to receive in my opinion ....one of the best...if not the best drummers or percussionists to have beat the skins since John Holmes. He's the definition of a drummer. He must be looked at as one of the best to do it. If not the best. He's well respected and can go from jazz to big band....to heavy solo stuff.... to warp speed quickness and agility..... to stuff the stratosphere is shaking its head in disbelief. A modern day drum God. What a loss to his family and friends and his fellow bandmates.... and all people who love music.... and the many Rush fans out there who are mourning his loss......RIP MR.PEART ...
Neil made it sound like playing drums was simple ... and complex at the same time. When he played with his eyes closed, he felt the instrument. At that time, he and the drums were one thing, a perfect union! Rest in peace!
It has been a few weeks now since the passing of Neil Peart. I finally can come on here to look at the legend on video. May he R.I.P...may the spirit of the music he helped create never die. Long live the memories...🙁
From this view you can truly see why Professor Peart operates at an entirely different level from any other drummer past or present (sorry Bonham fans...).
Dont know whats so special about Peart...best ever?? If this is "hard",check out Minneman,who plays 4 different odd time measures with all four limbs and he plays all that in lets say 19/16! Peart is legend,but he is not best drummer,not even close. His technique was stiff,solos are based on random single strokes played over 1000 pieces kit,... He was good,he is a legend,but,best drummer ever and things like that...funny :-)
I thought he was.... to me he is in a class all by himself.....but this particular class has a couple other people in it. Alex and Geddy....to accent a portion of his musical talent.
I know I'll get a bunch of crap for this ,BUT, Neil was very impressed by Perter Criss when they toured with KISS in the 70s when ALIVE ! was hitting . I have talked with Peter ,Moose ,who was the head tech for KISS until the Destroyer tour. Anyway Neil got that Peter Criss was actually a jazz drummer trying to play hard rock ,and took lessons from Gene Krupa, one of the best drummers ever. Peter was good when he was just s tarting ,and before too meant drugs . Anyway ,Neil noticed that Peter would take the bottom drum head off ,and Mic them like that and a few other things . Of course, there is no comparing the 2 ,but, itsvan interesting thing to know. You can look up old interviews ,he does talk about him and Peter while they toured together and what He picked up .
Truly awful news yesterday about our beloved Professor Had tears in my eyes when I heard the news yesterday Been playing albums and just listening to that marvellous drumming RIP my musical hero
brilliant to see this LEGENDARY solo of the proffs from above .. just shows what a fantastically musical piece of drumming this is … he was unique there will never be another … until we meet …. my percussive hero x
Byłeś genialnym perkusistą. Miałam przyjemność być na koncercie Rush w Berlinie w 2013 roku. To było cudowne doznanie. Najlepszy z najlepszych perkusistów. RIP
3:00 I can't believe how the feet can keep the beat (double tap on tambourine and one on bass drum in an RLL pattern) while the hands are doing all that, including lots of crazy syncopations and offbeats. Simply unbelievable. Note: I'm a drummer.
Not taking anything away from him, but that is a sequenced tambourine. Around 4:07 would just about be impossible to maintain, even for Peart, the greatest drummer ever. There are other solos that have better lighting and he's using the same tambourine sequence. For the record, I was fortunate to see him 4 times, including the Permanent Waves and Moving picture tours and have been a massive fan since A Farewell to Kings!
Az Drummer no, that actually is his left foot maintaining the sequence! He stated in interviews how when he first practiced the sequence, he could barely keep single strokes on the snare yet, after having done it for years, he gained total independence with his arms in every way while keeping the RLL pattern.

I've watched this for +15 years, 15000 times, and I still just shake my head in awe at this man's talent, timing, and creativity. Simply #1 GOAT.
I sold my Ludwig set and Zildjian.
Can't top this I quit and still. It was right rhe worlds utmost percussionist.
The sense or incense intensity of timing. Ya. Awesome.
After hearing the news of Neil passing, had to come back and listen to my favourite solo of his. RIP
I can't stop crying.
@@Sunshine-zm1fx He will be missed but his legacy will live on forever. He set a whole new standard for virtuosic drumming.
He was the greatest drummer of all time and the most humble person. RIP The Professor.
Yea this was the first solo one I heard to get me to go on to be listening to Rush more than any other band.
That thunderclap gets me every time. So deep and powerful. Who solo’d like this guy?

When I heard that you were gone I felt a shadow cross my heart R.I.P. Neil.
But he is our Hero ...ain't nobody but him
Well, boys and girls, this is what happens when virtually unlimited God-given talent, an inner metronome and a really big set of drums join forces.
You forgot about his insatiable desire to get better... Practice, practice, practice!

@@covfefebigly768 let me at least thank God for giving me ears and eyes to listen and watch this.

Neil himself was an Atheist.
No god helped Neil, it was through hard work and commitment.
Thank you for everything you've done Neil....you couldn't have done more...love Canada
Mr Peart has left the building...
RIP MR PEART

If you gave me a million years and and a million lessons, I could still never do this. Thank You and I appreciate what you did for me.
He has gone too soon. R.I.P. the best rock drummer to ever live.
Yes sir 🕊️ I agree with you a1000 percent

Pfft! You haven't seen Carl Palmer, have you? This guy is about half as fast, or complex.

Just now realizingt how damn good he really was. Holy shit Rest in peace you drumming legond. You will never be duplicated.
LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE!!!!! WERE!!!! AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE KING OF PERCUSSION!!!!!!!
THANK YOU MR, PEART!!!!!!!!!!
Really lost a gem of a drummer and gem of a soul. ❤
The man was a legend for sure.
A musician's musician. Long live NEIL PEART.
Very well said
This and his solo during YYZ on exit stage left are my two favorite Neil solos.
Dude, you were my hero and now youre gone! 😪
But he'll always be our hero.
He inspired millions of drummers all over the world. He is beyond a legend. 😢
I watch and listen 4 times a week. I love it
I can play Der Trommler with one hand. ... let me see, where is the play button.
I needed a good laugh. Thanks. RIP, Professor.
he makes it look soooo easy
RIP Neil - You Will Never Be Forgotten!
Those Germans can really appreciate that kind of precision from the professor.
I never knew you, but I love you Neil! RIP
RIP great one. This solo still gives me goosebumps. 😢
All of his solos gives me goosebumps
Never has it will get old. Thanks Neil...you did more for people than you’ll ever know.

never went to pee when this guy soloed
That was priceless!
What is amazing is how fast he can play on top of flat out being good.
Neil made it sound like playing drums was simple ... and complex at the same time. When he played with his eyes closed, he felt the instrument. At that time, he and the drums were one thing, a perfect union! Rest in peace!
I close my eyes while playing sometimes too. What you said is accurate! It feels very natural.
Simply a musical genius.
The greatest rock band in the WORLD plays at the pearly gates now.
Maestro, profesor, sensei, o baterista ! a un año de tu partida, tu legado está más que vigente. QEPD 🙏
It has been a few weeks now since the passing of Neil Peart. I finally can come on here to look at the legend on video. May he R.I.P...may the spirit of the music he helped create never die. Long live the memories...🙁
just stupidly awesome. can't even describe how great this is
My computer killed itself because it couldn't stand his awesomeness!!
From this view you can truly see why Professor Peart operates at an entirely different level from any other drummer past or present (sorry Bonham fans...).
Shep Bostin : nothing to be sorry about we can like them both ! a lot of people are good in their own way people like what they like and that’s OK👍
@@sambell385 As much as I love Peart, you have never heard Minneman or Donati play have you?
Uhh, sorry man but Buddy Rich drummed circles around Peart with only a four piece kit.
@@Carriesaglock buddy rich is alright, but if you wanna talk jazz drummers, tony williams, elvin jones, and philly joe jones come to mind
Dont know whats so special about Peart...best ever??

Truly a one of a kind human being. God given spirit and talent. Never stop watching professor .
Think of how many drummers have been inspired by this solo of Neil’s! I certainly was as a teenager!
RIP and thank you
Noooope! Nobody like Neil. God bless you brother 🙏
Very cool video n camera view,always enjoy watching him play.R.I.P.the great Goat Mr.Peart.
6:41 will never cease to amaze me. RIP

some performances are insane. and then there's this.
Thank you for everything, Neil. Legend to surely all be missed. Not being physically there with us, but in our hearts.

His versatility and the way he structured the drum solo was/is genius.
I am sooooooooooooo glad I grew up when I did!
Pure genius and a helluva practice regimen, the world is a lesser place...
That's Neil Peart.People!
RIP Neil... one of the greatest & most preternaturally talented drummers ever to walk the planet. ❣️❣️💔💔
the god of drums
Your favorite drummers drummer!
RIP Neil. Thanks for all the music.
Rest in peace, you genius.
They should rename it "Peirtcussion". I guess he really did need all those drums.
Best drum solo I have ever seen.

Note: I'm a drummer.
holy crap :O i thought that was a triggered sample
He's playing the kick drum as well. So he's going RLLRLL with his feet on top of everything else.
Not taking anything away from him, but that is a sequenced tambourine. Around 4:07 would just about be impossible to maintain, even for Peart, the greatest drummer ever. There are other solos that have better lighting and he's using the same tambourine sequence.

He stated in interviews how when he first practiced the sequence, he could barely keep single strokes on the snare yet, after having done it for years, he gained total independence with his arms in every way while keeping the RLL pattern.
That's a 3/4 beat in the the feet and 4/4 in his hands.
Fuckin' hard as hell to do.
FAREWELL TO THE KING, R.I.P SIR, A THANK U FOR THE MUSIC
There's nothing like him on earth and now the angels will hear him above. R.I.P Neil.

Enjoyed this solo many times but this top view was great!
RIP Neil. Your fans thank you and will miss you!
The best solo in history.
One of his very best. Slightly different than his other solos you can tell he was having one of those nights where everything worked
I saw this same drum beat and drum setup during the Hold Your Fire Tour at the "Drum" in Austin.
Just a machine, RIP you are a true Canadian.
Loved you, Neil. RIP your soul, merry gentleman.
The Master
I think this might be my favorite of all of his.

He Made those drums sing!!

Not even close . just a good rock drummer for the druggies

Peart , the god of percussion!
Always, Neal, Always...
Neil Peart stands alone!
@BiafraMain Portnoy really is amazing, buit Peart kinda shows him the door. here.
Agreed. Portnoy always looked up to Peart, so he himself would readily admit the difference in skill I think.
