THE NEIL PEART EXPERIMENT - by KEN MARY PART 2 - "FREEWILL"
This video chronicles the educational purpose of “The Neil Peart Experiment,” performed by session drummer Ken K Mary, and is PART 2. (Neil is one of Ken's drumming influences, and Ken is a great fan Neil's composition and performance.) Here is the experiment: could a session drummer replace the existing drum tracks, that were not performed to a click track, and make the replacement parts almost seamless in tone and performance? Would the new drum tracks be able to lock to the existing musical tracks without any issues? Could the song sound close to the same? Could this be done all in one pass, like the original recordings?

      Bear in mind this is Part 2. I'm going to do a wrap up where I talk about what I used, how I tuned the drums, and what I learned from attempting to do this the way I was challenged to record it, which I'm guessing you didn't read? And I'm guessing you are not a drummer, or maybe a bot, but thanks for listening. I did learn a great deal from this process. If you are a drummer, I do suggest trying to do this on your own. You will learn a good deal, including the great practice of trying to lock to existing parts that move along the timeline... and not least is it will remind you once again what an amazing composer Neil was.

    That was really really good. The first one I saw of people playing Neil Peart weren't playing with power and that was a big problem because Neil played with power. This guy was right on point. He was hitting the drums and hitting him hard and his technique was excellent. I would love to have this guy in my band. By the way I play in a deep purple cover band so you would have a lot of fun with that....

    You're an incredible drummer and did a great job but the guitar solo section you didn't play accurately. Neil is rolling on the snare and hitting the china type and open high hat real fast NOT the China type and crash cymbals. And you left out the snare roll. If you want to be technically accurate. But incredible job!

    • @kenkmaryofficial
      @kenkmaryofficial 14 часов назад

      Thank you for the kind words. My job was to get as close as possible to the record. That being said, I had one guy who challenged me saying this one part was played a different way, and he was wrong when we checked the recording. I was following the actual recording of the album, not what Peart did live later. He did change his parts slightly over time and you have to go by what is heard, not what he played live. Maybe go check the record and let me know...

    yes, since Neil is now / "no longer living but alive inside us all" i feel can play his music (even if i cant replicate it entirely yet..) i have been a avid listener of 50+years and have been practicing lately with the user Fiksdrumless's channel where he has stripped out drums on every rush album _ {just for my playing and practicing pleasure i am most assuredly so.?right} ps my first album was 2112 and i had the unique issue of :::: cracking the entire album in half "ALMOST" you see , from the center hole on the record all the way to the one of the edges it was separated _broken clean thru but still lined up groove for groove, did not skip, played fine... but with every rotation at 33 rpm came the ---what i once thought was---- an annoying click of that crack passing under the needle. -- 50+ years later that album and click is totally in my time keeping reproducible phrasing and its a pattern i have used often with odd time music is my own clock ticking away based off of that album and how much of an impression it made.. has lasted a lifetime.. cheers a toast of the Macallen for you
