    The Drum Master- Modern Drummer magazine
    Drumming has the power to unite people, no matter how varied their language or cultural background might be. On a recent trek through Africa, Neil Peart had a singular experience that proved just that. "I was in Gambia, walking through a small village, and I heard the sound of a drum. So of course I was curious! I looked into a compound and I could hear the drumming coming from a curtained room. I walked up to a woman doing laundry in front of the room. She could see my interest in the sound, so she waved me to go in. Inside I found a young, white missionary from a nearby Catholic school. Sitting across from him was the commanding presence of the local drum master. He was attempting to show the missionary how to play any kind of beat. The missionary was trying as hard as he could, but he wasn't having a lot of success."
    After a time the drum master, frustrated by the missionary's lack of ability, noticed the other man who had come into the room. The master had no idea who this person was, but he thought to himself, "Why not see if he can play?" According to Peart, what happened next was fascinating. "The drum master gestured to me to try and play a rhythm. So we began playing together, and he started smiling because he could tell I had a rhythm - maybe not his rhythm, but a rhythm of some kind. We were playing and playing, building the intensity, and little kids started coming in, laughing at the white man playing drums. Then a few women came into the room, and everybody began dancing to our beat! The master and I even started trading fours. It wasn't a spoken thing, but he could tell that I would lay out and listen to what he was doing for a certain amount of time, and then he would do the same. It was just a magical moment." When they finished, a confused and startled missionary ran up to Peart and asked, "How can you do that?" Chuckling to himself, Neil politely responded, "I'm in the business."

In that solo alone, how many drum greats are honored. For those of us that were blessed to see Rush live, we will probably never see or hear another band of this caliber ever again.

    Neil states that drum solo was to represent the sounds drums as they progressed. Yes, he is keeping 3/4 time on his feet while playing 4/4 and free playing on the rest of the drums. The horns you hear at the end are all from triggers on the set that Neil is hitting to activate them and the big band at the end is the Buddy Rich Band that he played with and did two records with.

    • @johnwright6311
      @johnwright6311 2 роки тому +2

      Yes! It’s a Buddy Rich homage is at the end. Did you also think he was paying tribute to Gene Krupa on the first (at least) extended snare solo? AND, I think he was paying homage to Lionel Hampton (who was phenomenal) with the xylophone play. I never had those thoughts about this solo until viewing it tonight… I wonder if that’s what The Professor was doing?

And one last thing!!! I absolutely loved, watching the look on,this gentlemans face,as he was listening to Neils Solo!! And while he was listening!!

Neal,aka "the professor" was extremely intelligent, wrote most of the lyrics throughout their career. He was also always a student,, trying to learn from jazz greats, African tribal drummers, etc. As smart as he was, he was also very kind, humble, and introverted.

    To paraphrase Geddy Lee "it's EAR with a P in front and a T at the end 😁
    The thing about this solo is that he just about covers all musical styles of percussion. Samba, Africana, Jamaican, Jazz, and I'm sure I left a few out. In my eyes he's as close to Buddy Rich as they get. Speaking of, Buddy Rich is probably considered THE greatest drummer of all time. You should check him out. Heck, I forgot the video, but it turns out Buddy Rich played through a heart attack and completed his set😳🤯
    Take care ✌

    the answer to your question during the 'Walts Section' is yes about how he's keeping his time section with his feet and then playing a completely different time signature with his arms. It VERY difficult to do. So, just so you can get an idea, start tapping with you feet counting to three with your right foot on the one and your left foot on 2&3. that's a waltz. then when you get some stability with that, then try playing something with your hands. See how long you can keep your feet going in rhythm doing the same thing. It's a mind-trick.

      I've heard people comment on his expression while he's playing (or lack thereof). His "expression" is complete concentration because he is doing insane things like this. Not many people can do 4 completely different physical things at the same time. Neil was the master, no doubt.

    Neil Peart midway through his career as the drummer for Rush, went back to school to relearn how to drum, to improve upon what he was doing, he was already labeled the best drummer in the world, and reinvented himself and his style. Which in turn made him even better. Thanks for sharing!

THE MAN WAS INCREDIBLE (rest his soul). He pasted away earlier this year, I think in January (2020). RUSH the band retired a couple of years ago. One of my favorite albums SIGNALS, I think is BEST.
