The lead sax player's reaction when Neil started on the cowbells!
Reacting to the melody of the playing Ian :)
I always loved that part. Like he was waiting for it
I caught that too!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Not that Neil needed the confirmation but I think that's certifiable legend status when your drumming impresses Buddy Rich's band. Cheers for the videos!
I think he's the one guy in the band who knew Neil's Exit Stage left solo! (That's why the audience reacts there.)
Neil wrote about this experience in one of his books. He mentioned how nervous he was and intimidated he felt playing this type of music in this environment. He also wrote that they didn't practice that much and the way the stage was set up he had a hard time hearing the band. You can see there were a few times that he would turn his head to try to catch the band. What impresses me most about Neil is that he always considered himself a student of the drums and was always humble enough to continue learning and growing. Perfecting his craft.
That's jazz. Lucky to get any rehearsal at all.
I have read comments saying swing was a weak point for him
sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Israel Jamison Instablaster ;)
@Kaiser Zander thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
He was very humble, but he always wanted to learn more. Yeah, not a jazz drummer, but an amazing drummer, his versatility puts him on top in the rock world, my opinion.
Excellent!
So true. However, definitely don't slam 2&4 on the snare students of jazz. Peace.
yeah his drum solos in later years you could hear the influences of jazz, African, his own style and what he learned from others in his increasing repertoire.
Neil put out an album called burning for Buddy, he was a huge influence on Neil.
Oh right! Thanks
11:25 The look on Neil's face before he absolutely kills it. You can tell he's having the time of his life up there, playing in memory of his drumming idol
Massive Buddy Rich influence. You said something about the concentration face, but I have to say, I've seen Rush perform over 12 times and he actually looks so happy in this video. It's a beautiful thing to see him concentracted, yes, but also happy and enjoying himself.
I love it!
His mother asked him once why he didn't smile more on stage, and he said, "Mom, because it's HARD!"
No doubt. That look on his face and the way his head snaps sideways when he strikes his snare drum on stage with RUSH. He actually looked like he was having fun but you know he was holding himself to the highest standard as always....a true perfectionist
@@jsmctch It's Great too hear someone else notice,how Neil alway's snaps his head,while he is keeping the rhythm too hitting his snare!!!! THANK YOU,FOR YOUR COMMENT!! I was starting to think that I was the only one to notice this Pattern of Neil Peart!! 🤟🤘🤙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, it was rare to see a smile on stage.
You probably don't know this not being a Rush fan from the start but....
The crowd recognizes the "Cowbell' part from what he always did during his Solos in the 1970s in Rush, it was one of many signature percussive things Neal did !!
I think we all did
@@jsmctch If people never seen them in them in the late 70s or heard "All the Worlds a Stage"maybe not, neal changed up his solos many times since then ! I'm sure it was new to Andrew, just trying to help those that aren't familiar with Rush's early years. : )
@@ronniefarnsworth6465 The "we" I speak of are us fans since ATWAS. There were a few little parts throughout that were recognizable. Ive been a fan for so long, from such a young age I feel like its ingrained I to my DNA.
@@jsmctch Yes it is Lol Thanks for posting : )
ABSOLUTLEY! Loved that homage to his original solo. I guess a new watch for Mr. Rooney.
There's a bunch of comments (from jazz snobs haha) saying "well, it just sounds like a rock drummer playing jazz" on the original video. Well, it IS a rock drummer playing jazz, but playing better than a whole heap of jazz drummers that couldn't come close to depping him on a Rush gig.
This concert was the catalyst for Neil’s study with Freddie Gruber. Steve Smith of Journey fame also played some tunes at this tribute and Neil noticed the improvement in his playing. When he asked Smith what his secret was, he got a one word reply: “Freddy”. Freddy and Neil spent most of their time together dancing and talking about motion, action and reaction and Neil changed his technique to incorporate these ideas. Brilliant reaction! Thanks for taking the time to explore more of Neil’s work. He was truly special.
And, it cannot be overstated, by then he was already the youngest-ever member of the Modern Drummer Magazine Readers Poll, as in, voted best drummer of the Year by readers five times. One aspect of Neil Peart that has only gotten its due since his death is the man's deep humility about his playing.
A little more flavor. Neil worked to create the tribute albums to Buddy Rich and with Buddy's daughter Cathy. It was a labor of love after re-engaging with the drums with Freddy (as mentioned).

Here is the intro and One O'clock Jump
ruclips.net/video/qbFgtic-IBk/видео.html
Buddy said he's the best drummer he's ever seen.. What an honor to have his band ask Neil to play with them...
Neil would say the same about Buddy. Sad that they're both gone, torch as to be passed on somewhere. Neil is so irreplicable though. He was forever a student of music, a student of life, and lastly a student of the drums. He never settled.
Interesting. I have not heard that. Do you have a source for this information?
he never said that
@@benjamingoldstein6298 lol the classic he said she said standoff
It's my understanding that Neil was disappointed with this performance. Having been an admirer of Buddy, he practiced Cotton Tail for a while, to get it correct. Then, when he turned up, at the concert rehearsal, he discovered he'd been using the wrong version! He subsequently did a later tribute (I think on an album, around 2004) to put things right (as he saw it).
All that said, didn't sound bad, to me! 🤔😊
He performed it again at the 2008 memorial concert: ruclips.net/video/EDJRoN9Yoas/видео.html
@@markmilner842 - Thanks for that. I wasn't confident about the replay! 👍🏽
@@AnthonyKellett they did YYZ at the same 2008 show. Very cool to hear a big band version of it.
@@markmilner842 - Excellent!
I hope to get to the 2008 version soon!
Andy, yes, Peart was hugely influenced by Buddy - if you check out the tail end of his epic Rush in Frankfurt drum solo, it is all from Cotton Tail.
Excellent Mike. Thanks!
Neil's best EVER! WOW! My respect has gone through the roof! You KNOW Buddy would think that was perfect.
Buddy Rich was his idol and I’m sure this was a treat and delight for him to play.
Gene Krupa as well... Both pioneers of their time. He was big on Keith Moon as well
He was pretty stressed actually because he was under-prepared
And think this ..Buddy Rich..Tribute concert..who can we call to drum...they didn't ask a symphony percussionist..they asked a progressive rock drummer..no jazz guy left to ask...Animal from muppets..retired already...Neil was last stickmaster left alive at this time....great job..miss you Animal..Miss you Buddyiss you so much Neil....
The crowd popped for certain parts of Neil's drum solo because they are famous elements of the solos he'd been doing for the last 10 years. And it works both ways -- when Rush went back on the road after this, Neil took many of the bits he did in this very recording and brought it to his drum solos. And then the live audiences popped big time for the jazz bits. :)
Love it Warren!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums You really, really, REALLY need to do "YYZ" live from "Exit Stage Left" 1981, with the gold-standard version of Neil's live solo in the middle - the last great recorded live drum solo he did before electronics crept into his kit. You will recognize figures from both this solo and the live in Frankfurt so low, that became hallmarks of his live drum solo. The great drummers are all composers at the kit.
So much of this video puts a smile on my face. He was such a humble, monster musician and lyricist. He’s missed dearly and everyone should seek out his music and just marvel at his skill.
SMALLER PATREON SIGN PLEASE????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thanks... Neil would approve! :) ♥
I saw Buddy in his later years I was a piano mover. I got free tickets to see Buddy live . He was amazing. I talked to him. He loved Neil. He said that Neil had the facility to be one of the greatest and he was righy
Of course Neil would be great because we hear his jazz drumming during different parts of LA VILLA STRANGIATO!
Neil came from a rock background. And his technique developed from that. The jazz aspect wasn't his strong cup of tea. But you can tell he was a student of all aspects of drumming and his passion is there no matter what he strove to play. Neil always saluted his influences and peers. Never self congratulated himself. His only goal was to strive to play good and get better. His whole career defined that. Steve Smith came to the Buddy Rich tribute and Neil was blown away how good Steve had become. So Neil finds out Freddy Gruber gave Steve lessons. So a few years later Neil takes lessons from him then later takes lessons under Peter Erskine on jazz and improv. Carl Palmer said that Neil was always searching. That defines Neil. Restless creatively, striving to get better. Very few acheive drum legend. He did.
Comment at 3:00: "That's rather fast, for the jazz swing pattern". No, it isn't. That is about 260 bpm/ a very comfortable tempo for most jazz drummers. Here is just one example of 'fast' (approaching 400 bpm) played by a fine drummer (left handed) who makes it sound easy. ruclips.net/video/JPFbS2xXJc4/видео.html
Great reaction Andy, Neil's versatility is just another dimension of his greatness, thanks for sharing!
Couldn't agree more Paul!
HERE’S THE MODERN DRUMMER TOP 5 HALL OF FAME:
1. BUDDY RICH
2. GENE KRUPA
3. JOHN BONHAM
4. KEITH MOON
5. NEIL PEART
ENOUGH SAID!
Neil liked this song so much he incorporated it into his drum solos. The final solo that everybody always reacts to ends with him playing along to Cotton Tail.
You know, with how many drummer reactions you've done now, it really surprises me you haven't watched anything by Vadrum yet. He is a beast, one of the OG YT drummers, and his recording quality is always top shelf.
Literally any of his covers of video games or old songs are amazing.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Professor on the drum kit"
That part right before the cow bell section some of the audience recognized what was coming up.
The part with the cowbells is from his solo on Rush's instrumental YYZ
This is such a beautifully constructed solo and such a perfect tribute to Buddy. You can see the respect in the other players’ reactions.
The section where the cowbells kick in is a signature part of Neil’s original live solo that he basically didn’t alter until the Grace Under Pressure era when he introduced the electronic set. You should listen to Working Man on All the World’s a Stage (1976)...the solo that got me and my pals hooked on Peart, and is still my favorite Neil live solo to this day. Cheers, Andrew.
At that time Neil Peart had joined Ludwig drums in 1987 having left TAMA in 1986 after the “Power Windows Tour” - the kit his playing here is a 90’s Ludwig Super Classic with purple finish with 20x14 bass drum, 12x8 rack and 16x16 floor tom with his snare thar he called his “Old Faithful” a 14x5.5 Slingerland Artist Model Snare drum. Also from the cowbell section of his solo - this is typically what Neil would do in Rush shows.
Btw Buddy Rich was looked up to by ALL the Great Classic Prog & Rock Drummers !
Neal Peart, Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford, Mike Portnoy, Phil Collins, Marco Minnemann,
Ian Paice, John Bonham, Bill Ward and more !!
It's to bad you seemed to not know of so many of these Epic Drummers and their music ?
This puzzles me as a Drummer ? But I grew up in this era but still all this music is out there to enjoy : )
Yes Ronnie. It's exactly like you don't know about my fave drummers...
Just life man.
Impossible to know or even be interested in 1% of all drummers
But I'm very excited to discover it now!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Your only into 1% I don't get that ? Lol : D
The cowbell bit was standard in his solos from the late seventies through the early nineties. It's something I missed in his later performances, but he went on to incorporate electronic sounds triggered at his drums and cymbals. And he regularly did the crossover back and forth between toms.
Awesome info Greg!
Magnificent and impeccable drum solo, another day in the life of the Professor ☝🏻👌🏻
Yes Sir!
If you haven't already, check out the movie Whiplash. Nothing to do with Neil, but a great movie.
Yes David.
I went to Jazz school. It was a bit like that.
Great film
Flight of the Conchords rocks! Love the shirt! No doubt, love this video as well.....
Thanks Michael!
Neil pert stood alone , live. love ,rush ,repeat
Big hand for the sax 🎷 man straight killer
Nice!
Best part of the video is the turtleneck.
HAHA!
I give Neil all the respect in the world for attempting this, but if we're going to be honest, he really doesn't "get" it. And I think he knew it. His style is the opposite of swing. It's tight, pinpoint, even, and metronomic -- stiff, almost quantized. That's what makes him a great rock drummer. But swinging is loose and elastic. It floats over the music. This is too "dug in." To be fair -- he's doing a better job than Buddy would have done in RUSH.
Neil mastered the traditional grip a couple of years later after months of learning from freddy gruber .
You can see an instructional video a work in progress with neil
On youtube
Thanks Michel :)
Iv’e read the Neil was inspired by Buddy. Rest In Peace, Neil!
I think most of us were!!!
I have this 2 dvd set! All of it is fantastic!
Hope you were impressed. The Professor is gone to the drummers world. He's the best!! Period
Hell! I'll salute myself
Pretty sure he is playing a Ludwig Classic or Super Classic set. He was playing and endorsing Ludwig when this was recorded.
And the men that hold high places..well drum like that and be main lyricist in a progressive rock band as well...RIP Neil...the kit God has for you in heaven..well..I wanna be in that band...when the Saints Go........right people
Burning for Buddy, Volume 1 is a 1994 Buddy Rich tribute album produced by Rush drummer/lyricist Neil Peart. The album is composed of performances by various rock and jazz drummers, all accompanied by the Buddy Rich Big Band. A follow-up Burning for Buddy...Volume 2 recording was released in 1997 and both recording sessions were also covered in a 5-hour documentary video released on VHS in 1996, reissued on DVD in 2006, The Making of Burning for Buddy. There is also a Volume II
Ugh. "Neil Peart Can't Find Swing Playing Rush Over Jazz Music, Reverts Back to Matched Grip to Just Regurgitate Classic YYZ Solo For Captive Audience." Loved you in Rush, Neil, RIP and all for giving jazz a shot, but this was just dreadful to watch.
Neil's biggest influence drummers,was Kieth Moon,and his jazz influence was Freddie Gruber.. At 1 point in Neil Pearts life. He felt that he was sort of stuck.. And it was then,that Neil actually took of,for quit awhile!! To work with Freddie G,actually giving Neil drum lessons... And after working with Freddie Gruber,he got Neil to start playing traditional hand grip.. And towards the closing year's of Neil Pearts playing drums. He played,traditional grip style,at least 50% more in all of his playing..🤟🤘🤙🤟🤘🤙
Hey guys! Thanks for watching. Here's my Rush playlist :)
ruclips.net/p/PLqspKksRqaUVia4e736aSQdeyr_KIN-hI
Never enough....Keep em coming Brother!
I'll say it. LOVE Neil. But here... out of his lane a bit. Stiff. He's hitting the marks as I would expect but jazz and him don't jive too well. Gotta swing man... I feel tension. Let it loose. Nice stuff though.
He did another one in mid 2000s. Another Buddy Rich tribute. Only that one had a lot of non-jazz drummers perform like Chad Smith. And his swing improved greatly. Like ALOT better. Especially considering he took about 4 years off at the turn of the century and Rush's last 3 albums were very heavy rock music. You should check it out!
Maybe can I suggest Tim Alexander, he is a great fan of Neil peart, I saw rush in 91 with primus. Tim is an incredible great drummer, very good, he was replaced by Danny Carey sometimes, in Primus,, influenced by Bruford, peart, I love his polyrhythmic playing
“If drummers are ‘anti-solo,’ that’s up to them. They’re musicians, and they can play whatever they want. But my inspirations early on were people like Buddy Rich, seeing him on The Tonight Show, or Gene Krupa. I think of The Gene Krupa Story movie, which opens with an overhead shot of him playing so energetically and beautifully…” - Neil Peart to Music Radar
If you listen to the album, top to bottom, you realize how out of his league Pert was on this record. Especially throughout the intro of Cottontail where he ends phrases with the kick/snare "and 1". Sounds like a kid playing jazz for the first time.
As I understand things, Buddy's family approached Neil to help with a Buddy Rich tribute concert. In 20 years Neil went from being a nobody selling agricultural implements and parts in St. Catharines to the jazz world's stage with nothing but praise, admiration and adulation on the rock scene in between.
Neil did not play drums this way. Meaning, hunched over with curled shoulders. He is mimicking Buddy's physical characteristics as well as his style. Oh, and don't forget to notice the turtleneck, one extra little homage to "Mr. Humble". The Professor kills it as always.
4:22 This is a 1994 Ludwig Super Classic. The snare was his "one" 1970's (can't remember the exact year) Slingerland Artist.
When the band jumped back in I was ready for a shower 🚿👏👏👏👏thanks for the video 🔥🔥🔥
he produced the album "burning for buddy" vol 1 & 2 as a tribute. so many great drummers on that record. they used the buddy rich band players.
Been a fan of Rush since about 1980, seen plenty of Buddy Rich growing up on The Tonight Show and just am a lover of all kinds of music and I'm so glad and feel so fortunate to have seen Rush a few times live, we truly lost a legendary player and human being when we lost Neil at way too young an age, what a tragedy. I'd love to see Rush return and do some more shows but I'm sure that'll never happen unfortunately 😢
I chuckled when you mentioned the serious look on Neil's face - He tells a story of his mother watching him play & he asked "what did you think?" She said it was good but why don't you ever smile and Neil said "cause drumming is hard "
Goes to show you how good these drummers were. Peart was a rock drummer but here he substituted Rich perfectly in Buddy's band. Both legends - both RIP..
ruclips.net/video/EDJRoN9Yoas/видео.html
From the 2008 Buddy Rich Memorial concert - much better 'swing' feel here, this is after he took lessions from Freddie Gruber, I recall Neil talking about some of the things he learned, one I remember was he raised his snare by several inches (look at his leg position to the snare on this one vs the 1994).
And Filght of COncords Awesome show
🤣👌
No matter what your age,1 Mr rich. 2 Mr. Peart.3 mr. Bonham in that order all others God bless you.Keep hitting them skins young ones and maybe they will talk and debate about y'alls playing in the near future.All in all Mr. Peart is the man to follow, especially his practice method s. Keep the love of time and rhythm alive in y'alls heart!
My God Neil was amazing .. no matter how many times I watch and listen to his solo's, I am in total awe and amazement just how incredibly good he was. RIP Neil, we miss you!
Neil thought buddy was the best total respect .bet their having a drum off right now. RIP .
If there's ever going to be a movie about Rush, like Bohemian Rhapsody, Tom Hanks should play Neil Peart.
I wonder if Neil was taking lessons from Freddy Gruber at this time. I know that Freddy had gotten him to play with traditional grip for a while. Neil even changed his set-up a bit to accommodate left hand traditional grip, with his toms rising in step fashion to his left over the hi-hat.
I don't want to take anything away from Neil's playing, but in this video he has adopted the same posture as Buddy. Which is a really bad idea if one wants to play for one's lifetime without incurring excruciating back pain, as did Buddy in his later years. I have a vague memory of Buddy saying he injured his back (while doing Karate?) but surely playing hunched over like that didn't help. So if I were teaching a young drummer, I would tell that student to watch Buddy's hands and strive to play like him, but please don't sit like him. Also I find that sitting with a straight balanced posture makes it much easier to play simultaneous notes with both feet. Not to mention it's less tiresome to play that way.
Geddy said the band won't return in the same way. Nevertheless I'm hoping some day they decide to honor Neil with a tribute tour. Also hoping there's a chance of Yoyoka Soma getting her big break on that gig ;-)
He made one mistake during his solo. He was his own worst critic. In his book about it he beat himself up hard over it. The life of a perfectionist. I was very lucky to study under him back in the day. Very nice but firm teacher. A great man!
If you want to find out more about Neils " Time Machine" drum kit watch, The Masters of Resonance with Rush Drummer: Neil Peart.
Well, my comment seems to have vanished. So, let’s try again. Neil became friends with Buddy’s family, and performed at a number of these concerts. I think Buddy was tremendously influential for Neil, especially his very precise and complex figures. I think prog is often really just blending bebop with fusion and removing (most of) the swing. In 2008 Neil played YYZ with the Buddy Rich Big Band, which was very cool, too.
Btw, as much as I like Buddy Rich, my favourite big band drummer is still Gene Krupa. But I prefer smaller ensembles for jazz - quartets, quintets, etc. Guys like Tony Williams, Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Joe Morello, Billy Cobham, et al, would really blow my hair back if I had any left.
All great players you mentioned Mark!
You should check out Beulah witch. Off this same record. Its Matt Sorum who is the drummer for Guns N Roses.. He did a fine job as well.
Great Neil. Thanks Andrew for making this cold easter sunday morning here in 🇨🇦 a more warmer day. Have a nice day.
My pleasure Stephane!
You should check out those clown core guys One of them plays a synth and drums in the back of a van. Also, they are clowns. Pretty good drummer though lol.
Talking of not noticing when Neil flicked the snare back on. I remember seeing a video a long time ago of him breaking a stick and replacing it. The guy who uploaded it had to slow the footage down to catch it.
when Johnny Carson was asked by Buddy Rich who he'd recommend to watch in the younger up and coming drummers without hesitation he said yeah Neil Peart
Gene Crupa is a drummer he admired as he himself said at a clinic cruppa was the most innovative of his era Buddy Rich the best technician both equally good .
He incorporated "Cotton Tail" in his Rush solos in the years following this recording. And yes, Buddy Rich was a major influence on him when he was growing up.
Thanks Greg!
According to bonham AND peart, rich can't be touched.
He was something
Sunday morning drums only in the beginning?
Well spotted.
That's from my cover of the tune :)
I'm pretty sure the drums are Ludwig. That's what he endorsed at that time. That kick drum pedal is a Yamaha double pedal. I had that pedal in the 90s
worth noting he played matched grip at this time... he switched to traditional for this performance before later studying it with Freddy
Thank you for exposing this to me. Like for reals.
Excellent John!
He sucks because he didn't have his massive surrounding drum set. TOTALLY KIDDING!!! He "killed" it. I saw this video years back and always stop to watch it when it comes up on suggested videos. Funny thing about his serious concentrating face. About 10 years ago when she was 8 i think, and even afterwards. A girl on youtube goes by Alexeygirldrummer I believe did a Rush song smiling all the way through and Neil did a youtube video to her complimenting her Rush cover and mentioned how she smiles all the way and he plays with a serious face.
Nice Joe!
Why did he turn his sticks around? Does it make for a less sharp sound? I'm not a drummer, so inquiring minds want to know.
Gadd-Weckl-Colaiuta drum showdown Andrew please do that one :)
I've done it Kevin!
I think Buddy would have been impressed. Right?
Watch "where's my thing". You'll be amazed
@5:50, did you notice how he was looking around? he was wondering "where the hell is the sound tech." He had told the story of this performance in a few different articles saying that the mix and monitors were bad and that he had a hard time hearing the other instruments.
Just a remarkable player and his timing flowed in and out like water. Always filling and supporting at the right moments.
You got it Rob!
When are you going to react to 2112, their magnum opus as far as I'm concerned.
I know this has been a few years since you posted, but did you noticed he reversed the sticks here. He felt the but gave a harder hit: @8:43
We all miss Neil!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
If you’re a hard core Rush fan you’ve heard this and the entire Burning for Buddy series. What is interesting is this piece and then one after he studied under Freddy Gruber.
If you listen to his drumsolo on yyz on the album exit stage left you hear the cowbels to. It was a piece of his solo he puts in this perfomance
Not Taxing for Neal, he's been a Top Prog Drummer for over 40+ yrs !!
Super muscles & tendons !!! Lol
There is video of all the tracks from Burning for Buddy vol. 1 and 2
Oh well! The best at the best. Watch ohio state university tribute on RUclips. Rush tribute
Did you notice the first time he turned his snare off ?. He turned his sticks upside-down.
