    Neil wasn’t just a drummer. He was a master percussionist, master lyricist ( he wrote nearly all of Rush’s lyrics), philosopher, best selling author……and he was “The Professor”. We miss ya, Neil.

    "How many drums does one need?" Answer: All of them. He uses all of them in this solo.

      Neil didn't just use them all for his solo, he used them all during the concert. The Rush library is so diverse and eclectic, that Neil incorporated lots of different sounds into the mix. As someone else mentioned, he wasn't just a drummer, but a percussionist, and that almost requires more than just drums. So, Neil's kit was the size it was to make sure he could cover all of the percussion sounds he used in every Rush song.

    • @furmanodell
      @furmanodell 10 місяців тому

      Neil used nearly all them in a few "kitchen sink" sections of the solo.

    I was a local stagehand in 1979 and as he was practicing I stood outside his door and listened to him practice. He noticed me and was so polite and asked me what I thought of the new piece he was working on. It was not recorded yet and it was Cygnus X-1. I was floored by how nice a guy he was and miss him being in the world, but him having given up all the music and his writing made a small part of my world a better place for knowing him for less than fifteen minutes.

    Amazing how many drummers react to this video and never mention that for an extended period of time, Neil is playing a waltz beat with his feet and a totally different time signature with his hands. The limb separation is unbelievable, but instead they comment on his kit or the sound or whatever.

      Yes, he used his whole drum kit at any given time he is probably the best drummer on this earth, and there a reason why they call him the professor he’s been playing for 40 years. I have looked up his drum sets before they are in upwards of 200,000 or more depending on the kit but for this person to react to his video and just talk about his feet, and and things is just ridiculous it is disrespectful to him, I mean, Neil Peart you need to do your homework dude I feel you disrespected him by what you said you know people get on here they watch his videos they need to talk about about his accomplishments. He was also wonderful lyrist I would say the best song rush ever did was red Barchetta, hands-down when Neil was 13 he had a passion for drumming he would take chopsticks in beat things around the house until that Christmas. His parents decide to get him a drum set. That’s what started it all. One more thing The Who was the band that inspired him to write and play the drums. There’s so much more about this man I wish people knew, but I don’t have a time to tell you all of it. You just have to read for yourself along with the professor and give the man the respect he deserves.

    As for having seen the professor, as he’s called: First saw him in Worcester, Ma in late 1982 and last saw him in Tampa in 2012 (and many times in between)- He played a solo each concert and he took elements from his beginnings and built upon them each time- Truly a master and a privilege to have witnessed/heard him play.

    The drum kit is actually two different drum kits combined. The kit is Drum Workshop for the acoustic and Roland V-Drums for the electronic kit. There is Roland foot triggers on the floor and the midi mallet is also part of the kit. The Roland V-Drums and Midi Mallet and foot triggers are connected to a rack of synthesizers and samplers via midi. All sounds are played by Neil including the brass insturments during the jazz part at the end. This was played halfway during a three hour performance

    My very first concert ever was Rush Snakes & Arrows tour 2007 in Illinois, I was privileged enough to see him play, and they surprisingly came back around for a second go! I've always been very musically inclined, maybe not so much musically talented, but I'm still, to this day, very grateful I was allowed to experience the drum solos he brought. Of course Alex and Geddy were just as amazing, I will never forget those amazing concerts.

  • @docwho10th88
    @docwho10th88 Рік тому +12

    Saw him 12 times and hIs playing and drum solos were a major part of Rush's concerts. This kit is small compared to his 1977-1979 Hemispheres tour kit. From the tour book: "My drums are all by Slingerland, with the inner surface of the wooden shells treated with a process called Vibra-Fibing. This consists of a thin layer of glass fiber and resin. (The drums include) two 24" bass drums, 6",8",10", and 12" concert toms, 12", 13", 15", and 18" tom-toms, and a 5"x14" wood shell snare drum. All cymbals are by Avedis Zildjian, with the exception of an 18" Chinese cymbal. The Zildjians are 6" and 8" splash, two 16", one 18" and one 20" crash cymbals, and 22" ride, a pair of 13" hi-hats, and 18" pang and a 20" China type.
    In the percussion department are orchestra bells, tubular bells, wind chimes, crotales, timbales, tympani, gong, temple blocks, bell tree, triangle, and melodic cowbells.
    For heads I use Remo black dots on the snare and bass drums, Ludwig silver dots on the concert toms and timbales, and Evans Looking Glass (top), and Speed King pedals, and Tama and Pearl stands. I use Pro-Mark 747 drumsticks with the varnish sanded off the gripping area." The reason he needed so many drums and also sound triggers is because as you will see later Rush's songs included these drums and orchestral instruments. Neil "finally admitted defeat" when he gave into needing electronic drums and sampling a lot of those sounds instead of having a cumbersome all acoustic kit. So what you see here is a hybrid 50/50 kit that takes up much less space but was capable of having "any drum or any sound" at this finger tips with electronic drum pads and foot triggers, just like he demonstrated with playing the trumpet sounds on pads and foot trigger here in this solo. He also played his snare and clap trap with his feet to free up his hands to play other drums instead. Peart received the following awards in the Modern Drummer magazine reader's poll:[28][113]

    Thanks for watching the greatest drummer ever. I have seen Rush ten times and his drum solos seen live shake the concert halls and walls with his energy. Without Rush I would not be the person I am today they inspired me in many ways possible. Neil’s integrity and passion to be the best at his mastery of drumming changed millions of their fans lives. This is not just music it is pure genius at its best. Neil Peart was fifty years of age on Sept 4, 2004 at the time of this recording and you will never see anyone play at this level at that age again.
    Oh those drum kits are priceless today and are now in a museum in Toronto. They were £250,000 to build custom and he had a new one built custom on every tour over their forty years as a band.
    I’m am truly privileged to have seen them as many times as I have. I first saw them on the Presto tour in Toronto at the Maple Leaf Gardens in 1990. Rush will always be the best three piece band ever to walk the face of Earth and they came from Canada.
    Neil Peart will live forever in our hearts and mind. RIP Neil Peart

    The first, and sadly the only time I saw Rush live was in 2012 in their Clockwork Angels tour. They played most of their great hits, but also played more of their 80's material in that tour, which I'm very fond of to this day. Their live performance was simply incredible. Neil's drum solos were fantastic and goes to show why he was called The Professor.
    My personal favourite song from Rush is The Analog Kid, while my personal favourite album from Rush is Power Windows. Their career spanning 4 decades goes to show how resilient they were with music throughout the times, and how other artists and bands inspired their sounds throughout their career.
    Neil was such a legendary percussionist, and not just a drummer, but he was also a genuine person and was mostly an introvert.
    So grateful to see Rush in person, especially Neil.
    Rest in peace.

Yes, speed is amazing, but this right here is talent like no other.. not to say others don't have talent, but this is on another level that i believe is going to be missed. RIP Neil, and thank you for all the years we got to see you play.. And as far as the best song from Rush lol i can't find one they are all killer tunes..

    I missed my high-school graduation and my girlfriend's junior prom (now my wife, who doesn't let me forget it) to see Rush concerts. Tells you all you need to know about how I feel about them I guess. :) Caught a t-shirt thrown out by Alex at two different back-to-back tours, and probably saw them over a dozen times throughout the decades. My older brother played 2112 for me when I was 8 and the rest was history. Bought my first album, of any band, when I was 9, and that album was Moving Pictures. Hard to pick a favorite album, let alone song, but MP is probably at the top.

    Saw them from the Moving Pictures Tour all the way through and had the pleasure of working the Power Windows Tour (4/20/86). Worked the load in, soundcheck, truss spot for the show and the load out. Actually got the opportunity to help the drum tech and handled Neil's drum kit. Then spent the rest of the afternoon setting up Blue Oyster Cult. Favorite Rush tune, Lakeside Park and the drum kit he is playing in the video costs more than your house. Favorite saying about Neil; Drummers use metronomes, metronomes use Neil Peart.

    It's always particularly neat to watch drummers react to Neil's solo, because they see things from a different perspective than most of us and can appreciate it in different ways.

    I was fortunate to see Rush 7 times dating back to 1975. They were the opening act for Blue Oyster Cult. They blew BOC away. I knew they would. I went to see Rush. Neil was the best drummer overall that I've seen.

    I saw Rush at least ten times live. They were memories I will never forget. Truly unforgettable. My favorite band.
    Also, There is a documentary out there about DW with Neil Peart. He had ordered his touring set from DW and they go over what it took to build and deliver it. It's fascinating.

    Just watched this. I’m enjoying your videos. I did get to see Neil in Phoenix on this tour, and this is the solo he did. You probably know this now, but he was Canadian and played Sabian cymbals for the last several years of his career. Great channel you have. 👍🏼

    I had the pleasure of attending every Rush concert in Toronto since 1984 until the very end. Neil's solo was always a highlight. His solo wasn't at the end of the show, it was usually in the middle and he'd still pound it out until the end of the night. I appreciated your reaction, keep up the great work, I'd suggest Rush's Working Man, live from Cleveland for you, it was their last song in their encore that night, shows their stamina.

    Couple of answers.
    You mentioned he must be tired, this was in the middle of a 3 hour concert. If you head down the Rush Rabbit hole, you'll find that while his solo is great, most songs are written at that level of quality, quantity and precision.
    With regardeds to Metal in him, Rush had been seen as one of the godfathers of progressive metal. If you listen to their catalogue, they are a progressive band in that they progress throughout their 40 year, 19 album career together. As you listen to them to you'll say, oh that sounds like... and then you'll see that they were a few years ahead of that genre of rock.
    All three members of Rush, Geddy Lee (lead vocals, bass, keys & peddles for synth and bass), Alex Lifeson (Lead acoustic, 12 string and 6 string guitar, mandolin & backing vocals) and Neil Peart (purcussion & lyrics) have been recognized as the best of their instruments at different times in their careers together as a 3 piece band.
    The washers were a joke. Geddy decided to get rid of the Amps on stage and go through the house mix and speakers, but Alex wanted to keep his Marshall amp stack. To balance the stage, Geddy had the road crew put washers and dryers, vending machines, roticcerie chicken ovens etc behind him.
    If you love drumming and want to see the band, watch YYZ: Rio, Xanadu: Exit stage left concert, then Tom Sawyer official video, Working Man - Live in Cleveland, The Weapon live... & La Villa Strangiato
    Then you'll be ready for 2112, Camera Eye,

    • @obiwanbenobi4943
      @obiwanbenobi4943 Рік тому

      He was always very ferocious, hits those drums with intent to make them ring true as he could get them to go, I was surprised he lasted as long as he did.

  • @obiwanbenobi4943
    @obiwanbenobi4943 Рік тому +1

    In the '70s I caught them four concerts including one where I bought backstage high up tickets so I could watch him drum. Great time every concert.
    Hard to pick favorites. It can change based upon moods. Tonight I enjoyed 2112 which has some excellent drumming (of course). :) If you can drum that with the intensity and musicality that Neil does then you're top notch.

  • @tomcofrancesco6944
    @tomcofrancesco6944 Рік тому

    You dont know how many times I have said to myself, what right do I have even walking by a drumset never mind owning one, thats what happens when I watch and listen to the master do his thing. My friends and I, growing up, would always say "he's not human, theres no way a mortal man can do that on a drum kit". I still get a bit emtional listening to Neil work the kit, he will be missed but NEVER forgotten, thank you for music Neil, RIP sir.

    Peart's mastery spanned several facets: precision, digital-level timekeeping, taste, and a style that served the music while also showcasing his love of drums, and lastly, his own musicality translated through percussion. Perhaps El Estepario Siberiano has the physical speed and precision to follow in Neil's footsteps. I bet as EES gains experience, and if he cares to, he will one day reach Peart's level of absolute mastery. Good thing he likes to practice. :)

    There were 30 replicated kits made. One of which was given to their friend Randy Johnson, the major league baseball player, when he retired.
    The video of him receiving it is awesome. I've seen someone on Facebook with one of them post photos and videos on a few Rush related fan pages.

    You are the first reactor I have ever heard mention the double tom tom sounds like The Terminator! I have thought the same thing for years! LOL! "Xanadu" from the Exit Stage Left 1981 concert shows off all 3 band members musical capabilities. Spirit Of Radio from the Toronto SARS Concert, 2003, with the opening from "Paint It Black", by the Rolling Stones. I was fortunate enough to see RUSH 6 times live, from late 1974 to 1982! I never saw any other artis TV or band more than twice!

    Saw rush 5 years straight starting in 1982. Best outdoor concert ever Alpine valley Wisconsin. Personally, I think his best solo is the Leave that thing alone Toronto concert in 1997 after he came back to Rush after his daughter passed.I can't help but sense a feeling of anger/rage watching him play.
