Neil playing horns, tambourine, and clap trap with his feet is insane! Seen him 9 time lives and will never forget all of the countless stick tosses 12 ft in the air! R.I.P professor..there will never be another like you! Also...thank you for putting drums in the forefront of rock music and making playing drums "cooler" than playing lead guitar and singing lead vocals! Miss you much ...LEGEND!
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Micah Maxton Instablaster =)
@Dax Deandre Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Dax Deandre It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Micah Maxton You are welcome :)

Thank fe the time stamp
Every drummer: Can the orchestra play these bits?
Neil Peart: I brought my own orchestra, thanks.
I was actually disappointed Peart didn't involve the Late Show band. Thought him doing so would be fresh.
Sheila E proved if you know what you are doing you dont need a bunch of drums just some ability. Love Guys who play small sets
Love you Anton
Saw you in clinic in Dayton Ohio.
Not only are you a great drummer
But you were very kind to all of us
Thank you for all you do
Never thought I'd be watching 40 minutes of drum solos and enjoying them but here we are! Every single on of these musicians was amazing! I love the variety in styles, and drum sets. Loved it all!
For context, Roy Haynes was 86 when he appeared on Letterman. I’m writing this comment in 2023 and he’s still with us.
Coltrane Miles influence with Roy.
Impressive
Now he sings, now he sobs. One of the greatest jazz drum performances ever!
@@tdward23What is the band director name? I forgot his name. He was on keyboards.
@@jamesiwsdugarjr.4194Paul Shaffer
Holy shit, definitely the first time I've had the chance to see quads being pulled off in stilettos! 😲👠👠
"Heels up" technique, for sure!
All great drummers, but I was amazed at Gavin Harrison's groove with the music!
Well said. Enjoyed his rythm very much. Very smooth!! 🤟😎🤘
Totally agree - amazing how sophisticated and complicated, and at the same time totally groovy and tight. Wow!
I agree, his dynamics are second to none, well maybe Benny Greb, but you can really tell he IS the groove.
Years ago, found Gavin Harrison and Porcupine Tree BECAUSE Neil Peart had them on a pre-concert song list. That should tell you something.
Gavin takes the cake indeed
Anton fig ! Never heard of him but holy cow that was awesome
He was KISS's studio drummer.
Just the work Anton did on Ace Frehleys 1st solo album makes him awesome.
Phil Collins is the only one that was missing from these greats. Fantastic series. Thank you for posting.
Personally, I didn’t think there was anything musical about Anton’s performance. He was the weakest of all the drummers. Shelia E, of course, was amazing but I think Neil Peart brought the most variety to the table but Gavin Harrison is simply phenomenal.
Lol I'll bite. Huh?
I cannot imagine what kind of person would Record and catalog decades of videos, but I thank God for you
I live alone. :)
Thanks Dave, that was awesome. Thanks, Don, for posting! Chambers was great. Just chewing his gum. Yeah, I'm a drummer, what of it? Great stuff!
Dennis Chambers - that was soooooo goooood.
Great compilation, thank you.
I really miss Letterman and his band.
Drummer for 40 years here. I was very impressed with Anton Fig. I know he's done a lot of session work with Kiss and others, but he's precise. Underwhelmed by Copeland, as I expected.
No doubt. AF incredible. All great drummers for sure. TY
Fig Surprised me. Went beast. Copeland is best composing the most original rhythms and accents ever for songs, his solos are antithetical to his gift of making good songs legendary.
Different types of drummers entirely. If Fig didn’t Copy Steve Gadd’s solos of the 80’s, We’d hear his true voice. A great player!
Copeland changed the sound & approach to drumset playing. So few have done that on any instrument. His upbringing in the Middle East inspired his unique bell use & syncopation. He added Ska to the mix & WOW. He’s not in the same league technically as these other players, but it’s not the pool he ever chose to swim in!
I like Anton Fig, but he couldn’t carry Stewart Copeland’s snare. You obviously do not comprehend the fundamentals of percussion. Copeland was not giving a “drumming” performance here.
Just a good collection of drummers. All have spirit and sense of devotion.
I loved Tony Roysters the most, but he’s a legend in his prime and I’m partial to that tune!
Gavin Harrison’s was so musical it was just unbelievable. And Dennis Chambers is simply the funkiest drummer on this planet, if they were all in the same room they’d point to Dennis to take the solo. Dennis would probably point to Roy Haynes. Roy would point to Tony and say, let’s see what the kids got. Full circle.
Neil Peart? I've been thinking about this for weeks!!!!
A drummer most definitely put to together these soloists. Hands down the best drummers in the world. My two favorite growing up; Peart and Copeland and Bonzo of course! (RIP to Peart and Bonham) I went to a drum clinic with Copeland in the 80's. He came out and played about five minutes of 4/4 Rock in perfect time. Stopped and asked if anyone had questions like that was it. Bahahah!
I love all of them and the fave of mine is Stuart Copeland.
Great video, thanks for putting it out there
Neil Peart with the Drum Solo of LIFE!
Edit - Mr. Chambers with some heady drumming, holy.
I grew up watching Buddy Rich as my late Dad was a drummer. I got to see him live 6 times. I got to see Neil live 25 times. Mr. Harrison, I'm a fan of Porcupine Tree due to your stick work. You are smooth and effortless, as was Buddy. I find it interesting a number of jazz standards were played to show the talents, A Night in Tunisia, Love for Sale, The Chicken. Good stuff.
Thanks for posting this Don; great compilation
Anton Fig impressed me the most! Never heard of him before this! 🔥
Well, he was there, night after night, mostly, except times when Charley Drayton, Kenny Aronoff, and Shawn Pelton were on the CBS era.
He toured with Ace Frehley when Ace left Kiss...then he's toured and played with countless people. Recently, he's been touring with Joe Bonomassa. He's a great, solid drummer.
@purebloodheretic4682 agreed. These are all fantastic drummers and included one of my top 3 drummers Neil Peart (The other 2 are Bonzo and Todd Sucherman of Styx) but I liked Anton's groove the best.
Anton Fig kills it.. what else is there is to say.
An honor to see all of these great players..
Thank thank you!!! Awesomeness!!
Great compilation!
Thank you for sharing. I love him so much.
Is sheila great for playing in heels? Cuz I ain't ever seen that before.
Just when I was thinking...Man, Stewart Copeland should be on this...bam! there he is. Love that guy's work. Drum solos are not my favorite thing about drumming but this is pretty cool.
Nobody reads my descriptions.
@@dongiller Well, normally I do but this time I was doing some other stuff on other tabs and had this on for the audio. ;~)
It was once asked if Neil Peart could beat God in a drum solo competition. This was a trick question for Neil is God
@@graxjpg Modern Drummer would disagree!
And god does not exist
@@docwho10th88 3 years later...Modern Drummer created a special category for Neil, the "Hall of Fame" just because everytime a new RUSH album was released, he'd win best drummer that year without a doubt. They knew he was god so they put him in God tier level to give everyone else a shot at the title of BOTY!!!
One of these drummers played in 6” spike heels. Discuss.
Badass 🤷♂️
Proves a lot of drummers needless worry about wearing certain shoes for drums or even barefooted.
I never worried and I wore whatever I was wearing that day or year
I never knew Roy Haines wore heels...
And sang.
Incredible, amazing , inspiring, Wish i could play 1/87th as good as any of those guys.... but i have fun, which is why these guys do what they does...
Yay! I got to finish this collection! (I started it, and then we were rudely interrupted) This was a lot of fun'!
Came in here a Neil Peart and Gavin Harrison fan, really enjoyed every single solo.
Good God, Sheila was still fine after all those years!!!
Extremely overated
I'm ready for Colbert to pick this up. Joe Saylor/Negah Santos, Nate Smith, Carter Beauford & David Garibaldi would be my first week!
ILHAN RUBIN, ZACH HILL
Neil will always be my boy untouchable, but damn!!... I had no idea Sheila E is that good!!
Gavin Harrison for sure my favorite.
Mine too - he was the most creative.
Indeed the best solo here
Agreed all great guys here and how about those kits they have too?!! Sure miss Letterman's shows!!!
I won't sell Stewart Copland short. Yes, he isn't as technical. Yes, he isn't as "showy". Yes, he technically didn't even play a solo. But how about this.
He studied rhythm so much that he invented (or brought to mainstream) an entire new music style to light. It might not be your cup of tea but he made the reggae beat playable on a kit. He pushed through everything that our brain (as drummers) teaches us is wrong and he has never has gotten the credit he deserves.
Just like Nicholas Barker perfecting speed metal at 20yrs old in the 90s and never getting credit. IMO Stew is a legend.
Neil Peart calls 911: help I'm lost
Emergency services:where abouts are you?
Neil Peart: somewhere in my drum kit
Don't worry...we ALL have Brain farts...
I'm POSITIVE you meant that little rant about ALL the other drummers in reference to him.
@@negtype13 as a matter of fact you are perfectly correct. It's been a few weeks since I wrote that comment and of course Mr Peart would never be lost behind ANY drum kit. Thankyou for bringing this to my attention 👍🥁
Thanks, Don, for uploading both Drum Solo Week's. I was going to suggest this project, however, I sensed your feelings were hurt the last time I suggested a project. It would have been good to see Ronnie Tutt as a guest drummer.
I doubt my feelings got hurt. You may have asked while I was decompressing after a complicated and long compilation, which is always the worst time to ask for more.
Thanks. There were 216 Will It Float segments, so for now, unlikely.
@@dongiller just a Grinder Girl video then. That ought to be shorter. :)
Love Anton Fig after Ace Frehley solo album and his work with KISS 😃😃
All phenomenal.
Every drummer out there knows that there's a feel that you need with your feet to play the kick...SHEILA E DID THAT IN FUCKING STILETTOS!!!!! That is absolutely incredible and this is coming from a guy who worships Neil Peart!!!
Gavin Harrison the best
Needed Carl Palmer to round things out.
Bill Bruford
Gavin Harrison! What else needs to be said?
No soul.
You suck. Neil reign
Gavin's is by far the most original and diverse solo. The winner here
I’ll go with that too. All great but Gavin & Tony did it for me today upon viewing. All these drummers far superior in skills than myself for sure 😊
I miss drum solo week
Gavin STILL grovin' last night at Radio City 9-16-2022
Neil is The Man, Rush is THE Band!
Jeeeez... Sheila E. with the serious chops and drumming vocabulary.
Edit - Gavin.. wowwowowowowow wowie.
Dam, what a beautiful, talented woman, I've always loved her,Hell, I would marry her right now❤
Gavin ! Check out a vid from Montreal Intl Jazz Fest 1982 Jaco Pastorious Band with Peter Erskine drumming " the chicken" !
Not Neil's greatest solo ever, but the pressure must have been enormous. Guys like Copeland and Anton Fig are phenomenal drummers but maybe not great soloists. Copeland I read, had to really be coaxed into it because doesn't consider himself a soloist. Royster Jr. is a freak of nature. And Roy Haynes is easily the classies and best dresser of the bunch!
Ok let's lay this to rest only Mr. Peart and only Mr. Peart could have delivered that. Not his best??? Show me other I am confused???
I agree. Neil has had better performances. He looked a bit stiff, to me.
Tony Royster Jr has been a freak of nature since he picked up a pair of sticks! He never ceases to amaze me. What else can be said about Dennis that hasn't already been said?
I think another week would have been in order, with Benny Greb, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Jojo Mayer, Steve Smith.....and then another week with Steve Gadd, Virgil Donati, Todd Sucherman, Simon Phillips and Larnell Lewis. LOL
Dave, I brought my own orchestra
Where is the conclusive to this epic 2 weeks?
Not clear what you mean by “conclusive.”
You left out the late great Joe Morello! A great jazz drummer and very awesome behind the kit!
I didn’t leave him out; the show did.
Dennis Chambers : could you let me finish ❤?
Gavin is so killer!
I want to see some Johnny Dark compilation
I had planned one. Now no longer doable.
@@dongiller I am able to see 1 or 2 videos of him now
Who was on keys? I forgot his name.
Paul Shaffer.
I dig octabons, working on an a to e version of a set
Jr took caravan to the moon
Baltimore’s DC! Nuff said :-)
I wonder if they called Terry Bozzio.
Dennis Chambers !!
Goodnight, Gillers.
Miss E is one of the fastest female in drumming
I wonder if neils kit fits in a s.u.v?
Is that last dude chewing some leftover food while he plays?
Probably just gum
Of course GUM. Geez man pay attention. 😂.
Ps he is Dennis Chambers btw. Hard to read or listen as you look. I get it 😂😅
Buddy and Gene up there ! Hey we can play double bass with 1 foot!
Is Stewart the only one that uses trad grip?
Neil did for a moment then he realized his single stroke roll wasn't there and went back to match 15':12"
So who won?
It wasn’t a competition.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
All bow to neil
Tommy Aldridge would have crushed this
Antwon Zip!
I feel just a tiny bit of Ginger Baker coming out in his solo
Whose?
Apparently lighting guy thought it was use every fucking light you have week.
All of these drummers are phenomenal in their own right... but Neil Peart IS your favorite drummer's favorite drummer
John Bonham was Neil Peart's favourite drummer, and John Bonham is also my favourite drummer. So you're wrong.
Neil Peart is and will always be the best dru.mer
Amazing drummers all, but Neil Peart was the standout. In my opinion his was so much more than a drum solo, he made music.
I think of all the Neil drum solos on RUclips, this is one of Neil's worst. He seemed very stiff, and looked almost uncomfortable, feeling that he needed to include abridged portions of his whole solo that he was performing on the Time Machine Tour. I think he would have been better off skipping the electronic portion of the solo and extending the acoustic portion. (Just my opinion as a Neil fan, myself)
I think Gavin Harrison, Dennis Chambers and the incomparable Tony Royster Jr were the standouts over the two weeks.
Paul shafers, Twin.
Too bad Dave couldn't have attained the services of one Mr Ian Paice that week :(
Or Vinnie
@@DrJ-hx7wv definitely Vinnie...or Dave Weckl, Gadd, Jojo, Virgil....there are so many killer drummers out there. He could have done drum solo month and it still wouldn't have been enough to showcase the ocean's worth of drumming talent out there!
Ansley Dunbar.
PLAYING IN HI HEELS
Dennis has got better solos than this
Dennis Chambers by a mile.
Anton was my least favorite by far. Gavin and Stewart as always were killer, but he Professor was, as always, heads above.
Excellent! But he looks like sir Elton John
You must mean Dennis
Sheila E. was playing in her own time zone... just here and there...click track her.
Neil Peart never looks like he's having fun or enjoying the music just playing it.
He seemed he was rushing and not letting it flow that night. Of course he's a legend drummer.
He's almost there, has the mechanics but no passion.
To whom are you referring?
Shella E is a good drummer, but she is best known for being an attractive Female Drummer.
Ginger baker.
