Neil gave you a basic history of drumming with his solo's. From the Tribal, to military, to jazz and big band, he created a musical history for you. He switched from "traditional" hand grip to a "matched" grip. Timing signatures change, fills and flares that were absolutely nuts. both feet and arms going in different directions at different times . He did these solos usually halfway through a 3 hour concert. The xylophone bit was a jazz piece he wrote called "Pieces of Eight". and seeing him live was awe inspiring. keep up the good work and go down the Rush rabbit hole.
Yes, everybody refers to Neil as arguably the world's greatest rock drummer, but to be more accurate, he was a master percussionist. As always, RIP to "The Professor".
I just wanted to make a quick comment about Geddy's voice and just say what I tell everyone who says what you said... it's because they've never given Rush a true listen. Every reactor, that I've seen say that, and that has gone back to listen, has become a true Rush fan. Geddys voice isn't for everyone, but it's perfect for Rush. Also, just to add... all three members of this band are in the top 10 easily in their respective instruments. With little to no argument, three of the most influential musicians in rock n roll.
Yeah I was going to say that. Example there is a guy on UA-cam that is doing their whole discography that hated Geddy's voice to begin with, but now loves it.
Neil was amazing to see live, as was the entire band. In one way it doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but it might as well have been a lifetime ago...
In the part where you asked if he was making all those sounds, the answer is yes. If you watch closely he has a few Roland V-Drums mixed in his acoustic kit as well as a trigger at about the 11 O'clock position on his snare and finally a foot pedal trigger for his left foot. Depending on the note that he wanted for the horns he would hit either one of the V-Drums, the trigger by the snare, or the pedal. Obviously, once the actual song and video kicked in at the end he began playing along to a prerecorded track.
The first 40 seconds of the trumpet section is played with his feet using triggers along with drum pads. He also plays the snare drum and other effects with his feet to free up his hands to do other things.
Not only was Neil the greatest drummer ever but he was an absolute master with the pen! Some of the greatest lyrics ever came from his magic pen. Keep going down the Rush rabbit hole...you will be a fan you can't ignore pure genius!
Truly blessed to have seen this band live 5 times in my life. The whole band is on another level. He was a god. This video proves it. This is why they called him the professor. The best. RIP Neil 😥, the loss is to much to handle. Btw.... In case anyone wanted to know the name of the instrument that Neil plays that looks like a xylophone, it's called a marumba
from the moment Neil joined Rush, the entire bands attention to detail went through the roof. As a combined group, the three of them chased perfection in their own art and I would argue that they caught that dragons tail.
I'm 67, and have just began to appreciate Rush. Just finished reading Neil's 5th book(think he's written 7). They weren't my thing when I was younger, but now that I'm "middle-aged", I really am liking them more and more, Check out "Spirit of the Radio"-animated video...totally got me hooked...RIP Neil Peart...
Great reaction. I once read that there is a specific reason for all the percussion instruments. The trio truly wanted to stay just a trio so as their music progressed and more sounds were wanted, they had to find a way. Geddy added keyboards etc, and Neil added a whole array of devices for different sounds.
It will be a VERY long time until a percussionist of his skill and mindset ever walk this planet, let alone a 3 piece orchestra of virtuosos. R.I.P. Professor.
You should check out La Villa Strangiato from rush. It’s an instrumental and it is amazing. I like either the studio track, or there’s an early live version when they’re still in their 20s that’s pretty good.
@@spiffymick7073 Yes. I love Geddy’s voice, but it’s easy to understand how a lot of people are not into it. It is very “unique”. I always feel bad that for this reason people miss out on their incredible musicianship. Strangiato bridges that gap.
I've been listening to Rush for 40+ years and they NEVER get old. The first time I saw this drum solo, I literally cried. (We lost an amazing musician - best drummer ever, IMHO!) It was hard to watch your reactions, because how do you not watch The Professor? What I did see of your reactions was great! Welcome to the Rush train! I see that you have viewed more Rush songs. Heading to your next reaction...
The other sounds are triggered through pads scattered around the kit, the midi marimba and a foot switch. Every limb is working hard all the time. Thankfully Neil had a four-lobed brain to keep track of it all. 😉
In the part where he’s playing, the three count waltz with his feet, I always thought it was a little sloppy. Then I realized, he’s playing a beat with his feet, and then doing fills, seemingly in a different time signature, or at least a different pace than what his feet are working. I think it’s a testament to how well he was able to separate the 2/2 of his body. Or like you said he has a four quadrant brain.
The big band sound (brass instruments included into his solo) is a recording. A tribute. I know you guys are being rhetorical about them transitioning (warming up) but I've heard they actually individually 'warm up' for about an hour before each concert.
Speaking of seeing Neil Peart drumming live, my friends and I were fortunate enough to see RUSH in concert back in 2010. When they were supporting their Time Machine tour. Neil did mini version of his drum solo that night.
One thing that people rarely notice (or mention) is the part starting at around 14:05. With his feet, he plays that "boom tss tss" thing while going nuts on the rest of the drums with his hands. The "boom tss tss" stays at the same tempo the hole time, but the rest changes tempo many times. That's apparently very hard to do. He mentions this in an interview.
I've been watching/listening to Rush since 1976. I am a drummer and the first time I saw them live was 1977. I saw his drum solo from the front row (after I moved down there from SRO seat) and it shattered me! You should give Geddy Lee another chance, bro! His singing skills improved very much during the 1980s and through the 90's and forward. He is a great singer but I understand he is an acquired taste. I would recommend some of their more "mainstream" Rock songs from the 80's and 90's. There's a ton of song-craft and dynamics in there that you my find surprising, if you gave it a shot. A song I would recommend is a song called "Ghost of a Chance" form 1991 (Roll The Bones album). It's a great song and Geddy's vocals are superb.
I don't remember who said it but it's my favorite quote about Neal Peart. If he's not your favorite drummer he's your favorite drummers favorite drummer.
The reason for so many drums is because Neil is actually using 2 sets of drums. At the beginning of this video, he's playing his electronic drum set (though there are still a few acoustic drums,) which was used quite a bit in the mid-80s to early 90s Rush albums. Later on when the kit revolved, he's using an acoustic drum set, though there are still a few electronic pads and triggers.
I've been a pro rock drummer for over 45 years. I started playing when I was 8. I had no lessons, I just sat behind a kit and started playing a swing beat. You can have all the lessons in the world but if you have no coordination you will never be any good. You've either got it or you haven't. Niel definitely had it in abundance and more.
Back for a few more comments. I like you guys otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back to provide more (hopeful) input. ;) You might already know, but... Back in the 1920's to maybe early 1940's (then dwindling over the years) big bands were at one point the rage. Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson (drummers) and of course Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and the list goes on. Clips of a couple of those were shown during the later part of Neil's solo. Drummers back then, if you were notable, were kind of noted by their snare drum play. So in their solo's they would focus on intricate snare solo's kind of challenging and showing off their prowess. All of these long before my time but it's a bit of a measuring stick to identify how good you really are. His drum location and placement kind of sticks in my brain here when you speak of how can someone remember where all these (toys) are. He's a kid in a candy shop! ha Here's a silly analogy: Imagine washing and drying dishes for 6-8 hours a day for years... Over time when you dry the dishes you can put them away in your sleep. Just remembering where they go at a really fast rate. lmao
By the way, the part he does moving through from 9:25 (for the next few seconds) the hands crossing back and forth over one another... Going from snare, to toms, to snare, to hi-hat, etc., is something many drummers try to do. Not always well mind you. Many can do it for a few measures but Neil does it for several bars more, then builds on it. Then of course ends it with a big band feed. Plays along with it. A tribute. Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Belson to name a few.
Eddie, how much Rush have you heard from the past 20 years? Most people that don't like Geddy's voice do like his voice as he gets older I recommend resist, the garden, and headlong flight
The Professor (Neil Peart) is unique in that He has mastered his craft quietly and doesn't want attention. the only attention He seeks is that of the audience He is playing to.. Much like the drummer they were trying to remember, one armed Hero Rick Allen of Def Leppard. Neil is and will always be The Professor. RIP my hero.
I enjoyed the reaction! Getty Lee is an acquired taste for some for sure. They have a good catalog of instrumentals that I think you would enjoy. Check out YYZ live in Rio. Also consider Xanadu live Exit Stage Left, yes there are vocals but just listen past them. ;) Lastly, I would encourage you to put the sound audio recording through the computer as opposed to your speakers (at least I think that's what you're doing but it could be on my end) The sound quality will be much better for the listener :-)
If you aren't a fan of Geddy's voice, Rush has some truly amazing instrumental songs, most notably YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, Where's My Thing, and The Main Monkey Business.
This is the second time I watched one of your reviews and I enjoyed it much more than your Sound of Silence reaction. You seem to have taken the viewer comments to heart and showed restraint and respected the music. I know you’re not huge Rush fans but 2112 is more than a collection of songs. It could be turned into a movie. It’s a story about a dystopian society where the high priests provide everything to a conforming, subservient populace rendering them as mindless sheep. One day one of its citizens finds an ancient relic (a guitar) and finds he can make music with it. He excitedly brings it to the temple where the priests reject its validity and dismiss his find as worthless. Dejected, he returns to his home only to dream of a world where his music would be welcomed and individual thought is encouraged. Upon waking he realizes that world exists only in his dreams and in his hopelessness, takes his own life. Sadly for him, the Elder race of man returns to claim their home and tear down the temples to return the planet to its former, free thinking society that he had dreamed of before ending his life. Geddy actually has some moments of sweetness in his voice which is far from the high pitched vocals I’m sure you think of when you think of Rush.
I think the overall musicality is what separates Neil's solos from other drummers. He seems more like a one man band than a drummer showing off. Aside from the technical aspects, different sections have different moods and character, which is something you just don't expect much from drum solos in general.
There are lots of different eras of rush, you should try a few different and maybe more recent albums and see if it changes your view. As the band matured and geddy’s voice matured he moved to a lower part of his register and was not as “screechy“ which is the part that some people find grating from earlier in their careers. But the music is always fantastic no matter the era. Sample some songs from signals onward…
The drums are designed to make the sounds he is looking for. ..As for the greatest of all time.. I say Buddy Rich but he was way before Neil He was actually Neils idol
"Best drummer" is unfortunately subjective. To me he was, but others will say Jon Bonham (Zeppelin). It's always between the two. When you factor in that he wrote the lyrics, made alternating odd time signatures "danceable", started taking lessons TWICE (~1994 & early 2000`s) after he was condidered the best rock drummer, Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson both said he was Rush's most talented musician....... Nei Peart is "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". - Dave Grohl
I don't like saying, the "best" drummer, singer, guitarist, NFL QB, etc. I just have a top tier of GOATs. Neil Peart is a GOAT. By-Tor and the Snow Dog shows off more mad skills. Jon Bonham, Led Zepplin, GOAT. Danny Carey of Tool, GOAT. Stewart Copeland, The Police, GOAT
Check out his solo from "Rush In Rio", in my opinion its better than this performance and the crowd is off the hook. Sorry, Bonzo. Neil is the GOAT of rock drummers.
Criticism accepted, however, I invite you to subscribe to us because monetizing our channel would go a long way for production value. Thanks for watching!

The "xylophone bit" is an electronic percussion pads instrument, he could play a different sound with it if desired.
One thing about Neil was that he never ceased to keep improving his craft. Yes, he is the GOAT.
They were blessed when he joined to replace the old drummer. He made them a better band. And of course, wrote good song lyrics.
Yes, everybody refers to Neil as arguably the world's greatest rock drummer, but to be more accurate, he was a master percussionist. As always, RIP to "The Professor".
Thanks for watching!
He is hands down the best best drummer ever! It's simply a beautiful thing to watch!
100%
He's the professor for a reason,the greatest of all time

Ghost Rider is such a powerful book. My boss just passed away. It is time for me to re-read it again..
Where's My Thing (Here It Is) Live In Dallas - another great instrumental performance.

@@dunnd1 So true.
One of the most iconic drum solo's ever!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Rush 53 times including the final show at the Forum.... Most incredible live band ever.... Period!
That’s amazing!

Ain’t that the truth.
Those are electronic Midi triggers on his drums and cymbals that generated the ending bit. Every bit of that was Neil creating that sound.
Thanks!
I have seen him 9 times he has foot buttons and the drum pad also has a switch. The goat the professor Rip

To answer your question that is a pre-planned routine. I saw them three times on the test for echo tour and it was exactly the same each time.
RIP Neil!🇨🇦
GOAT, says it all.
Great review Thank You! Try YYZ live in Rio.. Playing is Amazing and the crowd is awesome ..no singing in that one lol
Best drummer..."Neil"... that's all you need to say, and everybody will, or at least, should know, exactly who that name is. ❤️
Rush 2112 , and spirit of the radio.
More Rush Please =)
I've been a pro rock drummer for over 45 years. I started playing when I was 8. I had no lessons, I just sat behind a kit and started playing a swing beat.

Eddie may not like Rush but Kayla would, do more Rush!!
You might try later era Rush, Ghost of a Chance is something Kayla will like.
We forgive you for not liking RUSH but having the decency to play this for the true genius that Neil Peart was!
You guys have been so civil in the comments that we are going to do a proper RUSH reaction soon, stay tuned!
Back for a few more comments. I like you guys otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back to provide more (hopeful) input. ;)
You might already know, but...
Back in the 1920's to maybe early 1940's (then dwindling over the years) big bands were at one point the rage. Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson (drummers) and of course Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and the list goes on. Clips of a couple of those were shown during the later part of Neil's solo. Drummers back then, if you were notable, were kind of noted by their snare drum play.

Dudes, if you don’t know the story behind Neil Peart-you really should research it cause their storied career is unmatched. 🤘🖖✌️🥁🥁🥁
Neil Peart is the GOAT !!!
🐐
the cymbals are midi type with a foot pedel to have them make a cymbal sound or horn sounds or a cymbals/horn combo sounds
R.I.P. Professor.
If you aren't a fan of Geddy's voice, Rush has some truly amazing instrumental songs, most notably YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, Where's My Thing, and The Main Monkey Business.

Sounds alot like The Giver mixed with Brave New World. Glad you grew to approve of our shenanigans 😉
I like the way you're like a parody of what Americans are like. Kind of cheesy and artificially happy.
🇬🇧
I don’t know if that’s a compliment, but we’ll take it!
Drumming is a dual personality
If you dont like Geddy's voice, and many don't, checkout YYZ and La Villa Strangiato. No singing, just amazing talent.
I think the overall musicality is what separates Neil's solos from other drummers. He seems more like a one man band than a drummer showing off.

six cultures of drums

I really think you would enjoy YYZ from Rush In Rio. It is an instrumental where the crowd sings along.
Unbelievable
Rock.out with your socks out
Already did it! Check out our other videos!
In another life, Neil wanted to be a big band drummer.
Just to add, The Professor was in his 50's while withering away from brain cancer.
RIP Legend 😞
Need to watch Xanadu live!
More RUSH is on the agenda. Thanks for watching!
There are lots of different eras of rush, you should try a few different and maybe more recent albums and see if it changes your view. As the band matured and geddy’s voice matured he moved to a lower part of his register and was not as “screechy“ which is the part that some people find grating from earlier in their careers. But the music is always fantastic no matter the era. Sample some songs from signals onward…
I think I’m gonna. I’ve had enough people suggest it in the comments. Rush Fans might sway me 😏- Eddie
some say, if they have a favorite drummer, chances are that drummers favorite drummer is Neil Peart
Stay tuned for more RUSH next Wednesday!
The drums are designed to make the sounds he is looking for. ..As for the greatest of all time.. I say Buddy Rich but he was way before Neil He was actually Neils idol
😂😂😂
Try to react Danny Carey's drumming on Pneuma. His drumsticks vendor, Vic Firth setup drum cams.
Comment for da 'rithm. You need to do 2112, in its entirety, studio version.
You da best!
The 'horn section' is triggered electronically...triggers on the cymbals
Thanks!
There are two drummers in the modern era that you need to listen, Neil and the other is Danny Carey from Tool
🤔
Sound production please. Geddy’s voice sounds better than your sound quality. Lol.
Bazinga! Touché.😉
goat
He cues that with his left foot
That’s crazy! Thanks for watching!
you dont like RUSH, that might explain the puppy jacket!
You mean the Lemur onesie?🤔
Buddy Rich Is Neil favorite drummer
Yes..... He is that "really really good".
Watch Neil with a Buddy Rich tribute
Thanks for the tip!
Big drum kits? Check out Terry Bozzio. Missing Persons drummer.
Thanks for watching!🤘
Yes, drum triggers or in this case cymbal triggers…
"Best drummer" is unfortunately subjective.
To me he was, but others will say Jon Bonham (Zeppelin). It's always between the two.
When you factor in that he wrote the lyrics, made alternating odd time signatures "danceable", started taking lessons TWICE (~1994 & early 2000`s) after he was condidered the best rock drummer, Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson both said he was Rush's most talented musician.......
Nei Peart is "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". - Dave Grohl
Subjective, but we all agree!
I don't like saying, the "best" drummer, singer, guitarist, NFL QB, etc. I just have a top tier of GOATs.
Neil Peart is a GOAT. By-Tor and the Snow Dog shows off more mad skills.
Jon Bonham, Led Zepplin, GOAT.
Danny Carey of Tool, GOAT.
Stewart Copeland, The Police, GOAT
These three are all GOATS as far as I’m concerned.

switches on the drums
Check out his solo from "Rush In Rio", in my opinion its better than this performance and the crowd is off the hook. Sorry, Bonzo. Neil is the GOAT of rock drummers.
