Neil wasn't a drummer. He was a percussionist and master musician. R.I.P. Neil. We miss you.
Well stated!
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
Don't forget.. amazing lyricist.
Well he was a drummer hence the drums he played. But you are precise in the rest of your speech. Well said.
What I love about this solo is that it's really a global history of drumming. This is one of many reasons they called Neil the "Professor". We miss him. RIP Pratt
Another one who pronouncing his last name wrong and you spelled it wrong too lmao it Peart it's like saying the word ear with a p and a t at the end Peart
I have been a Rush fan since the 70's and, even though it has been over two years now, I am still trying to get used to a world without Neil in it. RIP GOAT
Me too. I still tear up when I think about it. God I miss that man and his music.
So blessed to have seen him play and so sad it won't happen again.
70s here also. For me it started with 2112. I'm grateful to say I saw them live 4 times.
same same same :(
@@johnandrews3568 I think Neil gave us all he had. I saw an interview with him that basically said, he purposely made his parts difficult. So much that he too can't replicate them consistently in his later years.
He gave us his soul friends. Lets celebrate that.
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.
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.
I believe it was the Signals tour that Neil did his solo as the last "song" of the night.
Who sticks around to watch a drum solo?
Everybody!
Love Neil! I’ve heard this solo many times, and never get tired of it. He’s the professor! Thanks for featuring him! Nice video!❤. And, yes, Neil always proclaimed to be a percussionist, not a drummer. Rest In Peace Neil.😢
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.
Neil was a true percussionist. Along with all the bells on his kit, and the electronic pads, he used to play a glockenspiel and tubular bells live …
If you look at some of the albums where they list the instruments used by him, they also had listed...plywood. An amazing performer and musician. RIP.
Xanadu live 😀
@@tattooedman42 plywood? He was a carpenter too?
@@joedimaggio3687 Strange, huh? But that was listed.
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.
Danny Cary , Chad smith , Duane Perry from Jethro Tull, Stewart Copeland , Tyler Hawkins , Dave Groule were all close friends with Neil , All of them were at the very last concert of Rush and his memorial
Grohl
@@paulgillespie542 yes thanks i was not sure then had Togo out ,
They all took lessons too. He loved to teach
None of them even come close to guys like Neil, Virgil Donati, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips and so many more aliens of drumming
I was at that show! Bittersweet.
So much more than a percussionist. Neil's lyrics have gotten me through many hard times. RUSH is amazing beyond words. Love you Neil, RIP
Neil Peart was the ULTIMATE banger!!!
"Oh it's just the drum solo; I may as well go and grab a snack" said no one ever at a Rush concert! BTW his last name is actually pronounced P👂t.
The section that starts at 5:53 never fails to blow my mind. All those epic cross rhythms with his feet keeping the motor going underneath while his hands just go mental over the top. Then the ending section as well, utter perfection! So good!! RIP GOAT.
I was fortunate to see Neil play this pattern in Glasgow during Rush’s R30 tour. It was sheer magic 🤘🎸🎸
I saw Rush in Milwaukee for the same tour! I took my brother (RIP) and he loved it, too! ✌🥁🙏
I only wish I was able to go to a Rush concert but never did. I really missed out.😔
The analysis was great, but what really struck me was your energy. Just so damned positive. Carry on Good Sir!
I have watched a ton of reactions to this performance by Neil Peart and yours is by far the best. You are the first to tell what Neil is using to trigger all the main effects and I finally saw how he was hitting those big-band horn effects in the second-last section. Thank you so much for all you do.
He has MIDI triggers on his acoustic drum heads. His foot turns them on and off. Roland makes them.
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.
This man was a percussionist extraordinaire! I can't watch this solo without bouncing all over the room! He is why I put my electronic and acoustic kits together!
I helped set up stage in 1974? 18 yr old, 10 ft away for the whole show with Neil's permission, made my drumming career rip professor
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!
"Foot action... that's hard, that's dope, that's attention to detail..." Awesome commentary, Jarvis... love this reaction !!! R*I*P* Neil (Thee Universal GOAT)
neal was beast. easily the best ever. hands down
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.
That 3/4 section is crazy - his left foot independence is insane. Good catch on the foot triggers, too. 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!
ua-cam.com/video/aT9333XiR4U/v-deo.html
Yeah, soloing over that foot pattern is so nasty 🤢
Neil use to refer to his feet and hands as, "functional discoordination." He worked for it.
The 3/4 bit is explicitly a quote from Max Roach's "The Drum Also Waltzes." Check that out for the original sound that he's inspired by.
The stamina alone calories burned is insane here. Not to mention the tight timing being all over that kit top to bottom left to right. I used to be a drummer / percussionist there won’t be another Neil Peart.
Long story short- my bff's hubby knows their road crew, and catered concerts for them. Their son is a drummer and Neil gave him many one on one opportunities over the years. Such a nice guy
His 4 limb independence is a truly jaw dropping. Thanks neal since76.truly missed
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.
Neil has had a lot of trademark "moments" in his solo that have persisted over the decades and the part at 11:00 has always been my favorite. My Dad's favorite part (he's a drummer) is the next phrase which he calls the "snap" where Neil just goes to town on the whole kit and starts cross sticking. RIP the Professor. Never one better.
Neil spends the back half of the solo beating that snare like it owes him money and he still kills it.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live on every tour that came to L.A. Seeing this live was jaw dropping. He was not only an astounding drummer, but an incredible lyricist
I believe it was during the Presto Tour (circa 1990) while playing in KC, Neil's set couldn't get started rotating on its own. Barely missing a beat, Neil stood up and pushed it until it got loose and began rotating by itself.
That blew my effing mind.
3 goats John, Keith and Neil was lucky enough to see him 9 times . That drum kit kept growing
this particular solo was one of the things that made me fall in love with the drums. that stuff he's playing over the 3/4 foot pattern is nuts!
The thing I love about Neil's playing is the melodic, and compositional aspects.
He creates themes and motifs. It's a mini composition. He takes a musical and melodic approach which is so rare in this day and age.
Many, in fact most drummers don't understand the compositional and melodic approach to soloing.
The thing he's doing is called an ostinato.
He changed his technique over time, his drum kit expanded and he just kept getting better.
RUSH LIVE……I was lucky enough to see one of the last shows before Neil died at SPAC N.Y. Simply the most talented three man band ever. Incredible performances every time. “In eight years I’ll be seventy one, I can play Charlie Watts drum parts when I’m seventy one, I can’t play Neil Peart’s drum parts when I’m seventy one” - Neil Peart at sixty three.
"Aw! I want one" is something every drummer said when that kit started to spin around. Check out his album Burnin' for Buddy, wholly smokes he rips.....it.....up!
It’s rather refreshing to see a Peart reaction video by someone who knows music, technique, terminology, and theory. Thank you!
Great reaction - as a non-drummer I appreciated your input, comments and drumming experience.
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥
From the back of the stadium
She’s easy to see
Standing up at the stage
In her Starman tee
From Anthem to Limelight
To YYZ
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
And all of the rockers
And all of the heshers
Well they dreamed of the day
That they might get her
And drive her away
In a Red Barchetta
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
No she doesn’t say "Pert"
And she doesn’t say "Part"
Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
‘Cause he’s close to her heart
Say a prayer for John Rutsey
He was there at the start
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush?
But she listened to Rush!
The blacksmith and the artist
They can’t resist her call
You cannot choose
Not to decide
So you’ve got no choice at all
No you’ve got no choice at all
You’ve gotta love her
You went to a Rush concert to see the Professor do his solos. He was an amazingly talented man.Been a Rush fan since 1978.
Jarvis
I was fortunate enough to see Professor Peart in concert with his bandmates, Rush in 2010. When they are doing their Time Machine Tour. Neil did another version of his drum solos. I read that prior to each concert stop, Neil has a practice drum kit to warm up his arms, hands, and legs (feet) to be focus what lays ahead for each concert.
Love your analysis and enthusiasm for the music. Been a RUSH fan since mid 1970's. Geddy Lee is one hell of a bassist and Alex Lifeson is a great guitarist, but underrated by many. RIP Neil Peart.
That video is the definition of mastering an instrument, RIP Neil Peart☝🏼
I just loved the look of shock and awe on your face during parts of that solo.
I've been a Rush fan for most of my adult life and been lucky to see them live on the times they came to the UK and it always blew my mind that a 3 piece band could make such sonic landscapes.
Great video thanks 👍
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.
He made it look so easy, it didn’t look like he was even breaking a sweat, He’s is definitely one of the goats, bonham and Rich be my other two
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).
R.I.P. Neal Peart. I saw Rush 3 times and they were fantastic. Always made sure I did NOT leave for a bathroom break after the show started because I didn't want to miss a single song or any part of the Professor soloing for the fans. Love Neil as a percussionist but maybe more as a human being.
He's had so many different midi devices going back to the 80's when he added the old school Simmons pads and the Midi Marimba that stayed up until his retirement in 2016. I'm sure the marimba is controlling many of the changes as well.
Your reaction is priceless. In some ways it helps in aiding with the passing of Mr. Peart.
Thank you as lifelong fan for your kind & genuine words.
12:08 - I'm not a drummer, just a MASSIVE RUSH fan and yes, I do realize what is happening. We are witnessing greatness. Love the video, thanks.
The Professor!!!!! Miss him!!!!!!🤘♥️🇧🇷🤴
I watch a lot of reactions to this solo. The Frankfort solo never gets old. Enjoyed your reaction
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.
I remember air drumming to the “Exit Stage Left” album. I was still in high school and started my interest in Rush then. I really appreciated how intricate the music was and being inspired by Neil. I’m just a nobody but wow, an honor to say the least.
Nobody's nobody.
This brought tears to my eyes. I was very lucky to have been able to see them in concert many times. RIP GOAT.
This is available as written music..."Der Trommler"...The Drummer. So much to digest in this. As others have stated the 3/4 switch is crazy, all of the rimshots..none accidental...all of it. A true master.
The Professor is my all time favorite. I watch alot of people react to this video. You are the only one that recognized Buddy Rich. Kudos. He was thee GOAT.
The drum King! We miss you Neil! 🤘
He IS THE GOAT PERIOD!!!!
Great break down, as a drummer I enjoyed your reaction man. RIP Neil Peart, u were an inspiration to so many
thanks for not interrupting every thirty seconds to comment..Just sit back and enjoy the mans soul through those sticks..
Great reaction! It’s refreshing to hear your reaction with your level of knowledge of the drums! Thx..🥁
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.
Thank you for your professional response! Much appreciated that you as a professional drummer can point out how great Neil Peart truly was!! He’s is top three of all time and your insight is invaluable so thank you.
Love your analysis! Thanks so much!
Love your analysis Jarvis!!
He plays in circles. It's something he speaks about it in interviews.
Neil Peart was a GENIUS on the kit!!! I am SUPER lucky to have been able to see Rush in concert twice before he passed.
Me too.. saw them 3x and once at The Pacific Amphitheatre in Orange County Calif. That place is so called small and outdoors... i was like 60 ft from the stage
As bret the hitman heart used to say "The best there was the best there is the best there ever will be" The grandfather the professor of drummers the late great neil peart. No one compares.
I read an interview with him years ago about his electronic drums -- Neil said that he liked them because he could sample a special drum and never worry about damaging it in transit.
Fantastic analysis and insight.
Thanks.
Your genuine apprectiation of Neil is wonderful!!! Enjoyed this reaction more than most!!! Great job!!!
The swing portion at the end, that he used the triggers to get the big band effect is a song called 'Cottontail'. This was the song he played at the Buddy Rich tribute show with Buddy's Band at the end of Buddy's Career. Look up that video. In it he has no electronic drums, it's a stripped down kit he calls his Jazz Kit, that he had specifically for the Jazz, Big Band, Swing that Buddy played. He even had his NP on his Kick Bass to resemble the BR on Buddy Rich's kit. Also, look for the Xanadu concert video from 1981. This was the last time his kit had no electronic drums or percussion. He was a 1 man drum and percussion section. FYI, it is pronounced P-ear-t.
There's a video on UA-cam called "Masters of Resonance" where the construction of Neal's kit for this tour is talked about. The wood (or at least some of it) is from a log that was submerged in a swamp for 1500 years.
You are so well spoken. Really drew me in
Quality reaction! Thank you.
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'.
One of my fav reactions to this solo. Loved your insight. 👍
Fantastic Reaction
one of the best breakdowns of his drumming I've seen. Thank you sincerely
Best technical review of this videos I’ve seen and I’ve watched hundreds of other reactors. Great insightful reaction
The second part of the solo is part of a solo from the 1989 Show of Hands tour. It was fun to hear it again. I recommend to see them
I saw them live in 77. I knew I liked Tom Sawyer! They were so much more! I lost it when the drums rotated! Thanks for the info!
Neil was the GOAT THE GOAT THE GOAT!!! Thanks for another great reaction and break-down, JB!!!
DW Kit are awesome!! RUSH's last tour kit was amazing. Rest in Paradise Neil.
Classy reaction, nice break down of the techniques and sharing of your knowledge. Great way to show your love!
It was such a treat to see him live. One of the most entertaining solos I have ever seen.
Great to see you do this. Great stuff.
I could listen to him playing to drums ALL DAMN DAY
I have lived enough to see my drum heroes...Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, Alfonsoe Muzon, John Bonham, Bill Ward, Billy Cobham and the great Neil Peart preform live. I have been truly blessed to witness them all. Time is short and we're all getting old. Have a good night
I was so fortunate to see him perform this live! A life long memory!!! Thanks for the great reaction!!!
So much talent 👏🙌
Glad I can say I saw/experienced Rush live a couple of times....great band!
The big band ending was his ttribute to Buddy Rich. Another unbelievable drummer for his time
The waltz pattern is one of the hardest techniques to master.
Neil said it took him about 5 years of hard practice to do it.
4 way independence at its finest.
Amazing Reaction!!!!!! Respect bro!!!!!!!! Love it. RUSH. 🇨🇦
Loved your review, analysis, and commentary...put a whole new spin on this video I've seen a few times from others but far and away the best one. Was a fun watch. Keep up the great work.
