Yeah, that part of the solo where you pause and say he’s making love to the drums...he’s playing one time signature with his feet (3/4 time) and playing entirely different time signatures with his hands. It’s a clinic in separation of your limbs, each one acting independently of the others. He was incredible. Blessed to have seen them twice live, once pretty close to the stage and they’re like no other band. Dedicated to their craft. Thanks for the tribute man!
...and this is why Neil Peart is arguably the greatest rock drummer ever. There will never be another. Drummer, lyricist, and all around great person. RIP Neil. Thank you for this reaction and continue to expose others to the greatness that is Rush.
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."
RIP Neil Peart definitely the GOAT. Not only the best percussionist ever, but also my favorite lyricist ever. He wrote almost all of the great Rush tunes. The speed of his hands during the crossover is amazing. Praying for family and friends 🙏 your music lives on forever. ☮️
Doc, thank you for your great tribute to Neil (R.I.P.). He was one of the greatest percussionist to have ever lived, Neil in that concert was paying tribute to another great percussionist Buddy Rich, who I have met and watched in concert many times. We lost a legend, but have many great memories. Neil is no longer suffering and now can be with he Beloved wife and daughter to which he lost too early. Thank you Neil for the great beats.
Not just "foot pedal" singular with a steady back beat; but foot pedals plural- 3! One foot hitting bass, the other simultaneously switching between two pedals, one for high hats, and the third pedal for all those electronically generated trumpets/misc. sounds. Mind boggling!
At around the 8:00 to 9:00 mark, while Neil's FEET are playing 3/4 time (1 2 3 1 2 3), his HANDS are doing 5/4 time!! That is one of the things that separates Neil from the rest.
Ladies and gentlemens, the professor of the drum kit. R.I.P Neil Peart. Best drummer ever lived, and also the best percussionist and lyricist. Been a huge RUSH fan since the age of 15 , and i am 42 now. Rush for life!
I think you become that great at something when you don't have to think about something because it's a part of your being , it just flows through you. R.I.P. Neil Peart
This solo is the result of a lifetime of practice and training. He goes through many different styles and techniques. He even taught himself how to separate the top of his body from the bottom so he could do two rhythms at once. He is the best.
Neil Peart is the reason I picked up a pair of sticks and learned to play drums. I deeply cherish his musical talents and am so thankful I got to see Rush live. Man you should give "Spirit of Radio" a listen. I think you would love it. BTW Neil's nickname was The Professor.
It's so sad alot of people will not understand how talented he was I'm glad you appreciate different kinds of music ty this video made me very emotional my dad who I lost at 17 was a huge rush fan
Hey neighbour, assuming you're in the Falls, ON. I'm in Welland, ON. I'm in my 60s and have followed Rush from the 70s. What you witnessed is exceptional and out of this world drumming, etc. "The Professor" as he was called, even after he lost his daughter and wife in the late '90s, he came back and took lessons, YEP, lessons from other great drummers to become even better at his exceptional skill. His genius ability to write the lyrics which are even more exceptional, we all have lost a GIANT in the music world. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction as it was sincere and heartfelt. Great job Doc Rich. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Neil's family, the Rush family and all of Rush's die-hard fans. I hope you continue to explore more of Rush's great songs. My favourite at this time is "The Garden"~~it's lyrics are so meaningful at this time of Neil's passing, for which he wrote.
RIP to the legend and best drummer to ever do it, He as amazing as he was still took drum lessons right up to his last one in 2012, that's what the best do, I know you probably won't get alot of views for a Canadian Rock bands drummer, thanks for this one Rich, He's an example of greatness, never to good to learn or practice, to put it in perspective for people who do not like this genre of music he was the Eminem of drumming, the man put in work to be a goat
I was a drummer and still am . This man inspired me to play. HIs standard is the best I have seen. He reminds me of Bruce Lee as he like Neil took and encapsulated different styles to make his music or art stand out. He was so Humble in his quest for perfection that he asked other drummers for advice. The finest Lyricist ever , a man blessed with an intelligent articulate mind. Rush are the greatest and he is part of that.
I’m not a musician, but a HUGE music fan. It doesn’t matter the genre, if it’s done well, with purpose, and heart than it’s good. You should never give up on practicing because despite a natural inclination of talent, he devoted a lifetime to be that great and it shows. You can’t fake devotion and dedication when that’s the final result.🤘🖖✌️❤️🥁😢🥇👍
Dude! Thanks for the video. First album that got me hooked to Rush was Moving Pictures 1981 (7th grade) the rest is history. Neil was and will continue to inspire people. RIP professor...
You have my utmost appreciation and respect for your heart felt admiration and respect for one of the most supremely gifted, talented and elite percussionists to have ever lived
Neil was without doubt the greatest drummer of all time in my opinion, the man played as if he has 2 extra arms, many of the legends of the industry admitted that he was the best
Seeing these reactions are priceless ... im old AF ... i was fortunate enough to see Rush 3 times 2 of which i was semi conscious for.... so the end of the video was a tribute to Buddy Rich....neil got lots of inspiration from buddy.... got mad respect for him for that.... if you listen to studio track songs and live songs Neil s sounds and beats are exactly the same ... the man was legendary....
Now mind you this is an 8+ minute solo, in the middle of a 2 1/2 hr concert. He was a BEAST as well as a genius. But as the Lyricist, he changed the direction of RUSH. He was an avid reader and read everything from Ayn Rand's philosophy, to Sword and Sorcery Fantasy to Science Fiction. And he wrote songs like the books he read. They had "chapters", a beginning, middle and end. RUSH became masters at writing "Concept" songs. They used instrumentals to be the describer of action in the song and change of tempo transitions to define "chapters" ending and beginning. Now with that said I would recommend their masterpiece of a concept song, 2112, (pronounced twenty one - twelve) from the album of the same name. It is a 20:33, 7 "chapter", complete album side, concept song. It was the song and album that saved their career and put them on the map to stay. This lyric video is awesome at telling the story in story board format to the music: 2112: Overture / The Temples Of Syrinx / Discovery / Presentation / Oracle: The Dream / Soliloquy / Grand Finale ruclips.net/video/w5jwxrTqoEA/видео.html
The song is considered a "suite" and divided into seven chapters: I) Overture, II) The Temples of Syrinx, III) Discovery, IV) Presentation, V) Oracle: The Dream, VI) Soliloquy, VII) Grand Finale. In the printed lyrics, each chapter begins with a text story, describing the events. Part one is the overture of the year 2112. Part two is about the Temples of Syrinx and the Priests that rule them. Part three is about a man who discovers an "ancient device" that is actually a guitar. Part four is the presentation (hence the part title) of the device to the priests. The priests say that there is no need for this ancient way, and crush it to pieces beneath their feet. Part five is about the man going back to his cave by the waterfall and falling asleep, dreaming of the "elder race" (the oracle) leading him back to his world. In the year 2112 the elder race of man live on a planet far far away from the Federation. Part six is about the man being unable to live under the Federation's control any longer. His only hope is that with his death he will pass into the next world. Part seven is the instrumental Grand Finale www.songfacts.com/facts/rush/2112
He was an incredible drummer, one of the best rock drummers ever. In fact, all the members of Rush are fantastic-- lead singer Geddy Lee sang while switching between playing piano AND bass. Check out their live performance of "Subdivisions - Snake and Arrows Tour."
Neil would be the first to tell you.. this was the result of years dedicated practice and study. He was a very special talent that he himself tells us in his work in progress video did not come easy he had to work at it and work he did. I understand when you say How? But if you watch his work in progress videos and his antimony if a drum solo you you find that this man was the hardest working drummer. Period. Yes there are other good drummers but Neil, like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa we’re not matched, maybe one day another will come along but I doubt it will be in my life time. I have seen him many times and each time was a treat.
It should be noted that when this video was taken of Neil he was suffering from severe arthritis, he actually lost alot of of his speed at this point from his younger days.
Shout out brother! I’ve watched that video a thousand times. I’ve been to 50 shows even. And all these years later, I still ask the same question you asked yourself tonight. How is what that guy just did possible? Now there are many drummers who learned from Neil and even expanded beyond, but they all miss something. I don’t know if it’s composition, musicality, or arrangement or any combination thereof, but as a soloist, there has never been any better. I love drums and great drummers, but for most the drum solo is a puss break or beer run.. Not this guy. Every fucking ass is in their seat or running to their seat when Neil solos. Truth!,, RIp N. Peart
The wood used in the making of his drums come from the bottom of a river in the Carpathian Mountains (Romania). Please try to learn more about the man, as well as Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. Your respect will continue to grow, I assure you.
Doug R and he was still taking drum lessons in 2012! So he still thought there were things to learn. But then that’s what distinguishes the best in all fields. And that attitude explains why they got there.
As a drummer as well, Neil was, and will always be, one of my idols. To say it takes years to master this, especially on a concert stage isn’t doing it justice. Like pro athletes develop skills from a super early age... drumming is no different. Decades of skills, screw ups, and consistent work ethics is what you see at work. Edit: btw.... you can use 1 drum and get 4 different sounds out of it depending where on the pad you hit it. So, not only is the right drum important, the drumstick location is just as important...
To call Neil a drummer is an insult. Neil was a consummate professional percussionist, an elite level master technician. He wasn’t called the professor for nothing.
Hey Doc, since you did Speedom already, you guys should do the OG World Wide Chopper (Speedom is WWC 2). BTW use the lyrics video, cause there is a Turkish rap segment and a Denish segment
Yeah, that part of the solo where you pause and say he’s making love to the drums...he’s playing one time signature with his feet (3/4 time) and playing entirely different time signatures with his hands. It’s a clinic in separation of your limbs, each one acting independently of the others. He was incredible. Blessed to have seen them twice live, once pretty close to the stage and they’re like no other band. Dedicated to their craft. Thanks for the tribute man!
I know he worked hard to be able to be able to sepatate the playing like that. Is that what they mean when they say that he is playing polyrhythms?
Shed a lot of tears this weekend. Reactions like yours are such a help.
Incredible. Thank you so much. Neil Peart for this awesome solo.
...and this is why Neil Peart is arguably the greatest rock drummer ever. There will never be another. Drummer, lyricist, and all around great person. RIP Neil.
Thank you for this reaction and continue to expose others to the greatness that is Rush.
you know, i have never actually seen neil drum before but ive heard about it and now i can finally say NEIL WAS A DRUMMING GOD!

His composition, he called rhythmic gymnastics, on all those Rush songs was and will continue to be a joy to listen to... I love this man... RIP Neil❤
Well said. He was the GOAT! He will be sorely missed. Not to mention he was a premier legend lyricist. RIP Neil!
Doc, thank you for your great tribute to Neil (R.I.P.). He was one of the greatest percussionist to have ever lived, Neil in that concert was paying tribute to another great percussionist Buddy Rich, who I have met and watched in concert many times. We lost a legend, but have many great memories. Neil is no longer suffering and now can be with he Beloved wife and daughter to which he lost too early. Thank you Neil for the great beats.
Bravo Brother...am a drummer and and lyricist. His passing still hurts. His playing and his intellect Lyrics made the man I am today.
Been listening to neil and Rush for over 40 years and i am glad a young generation is appreciating neil's unique talent
Not just "foot pedal" singular with a steady back beat; but foot pedals plural- 3! One foot hitting bass, the other simultaneously switching between two pedals, one for high hats, and the third pedal for all those electronically generated trumpets/misc. sounds. Mind boggling!
Including tambourine and snare. Just incredible!!
I’ve been a Rush fan since the early 70’s (I’m 61) and it is almost impossible for me to comprehend a world without Neil in it. RIP GOAT!
I feel damn lucky to have appreciated his solos live. Ty for that Neil... you gave us a spiritual experience.
I hre up listening to Rush, I was lucky to hear them live twice. You are absolutely right that it is a spiritual experience live.
At around the 8:00 to 9:00 mark, while Neil's FEET are playing 3/4 time (1 2 3 1 2 3), his HANDS are doing 5/4 time!! That is one of the things that separates Neil from the rest.
He also throws some 7/8 in there (while doing 3/4 with his feet).
Ladies and gentlemens, the professor of the drum kit. R.I.P Neil Peart. Best drummer ever lived, and also the best percussionist and lyricist. Been a huge RUSH fan since the age of 15 , and i am 42 now. Rush for life!
I think you become that great at something when you don't have to think about something because it's a part of your being , it just flows through you. R.I.P. Neil Peart
Love this! Made my day! RIP Neil! One of the best percussionist ever.

He isn't making love with the drums, he's making the drums make love to the world.
It's so sad alot of people will not understand how talented he was I'm glad you appreciate different kinds of music ty this video made me very emotional my dad who I lost at 17 was a huge rush fan

Still is. The hallmark of a legend is they don't die. Just the person does.

“When I heard that he was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart”...Nobody’s Hero. RIP Professor, thanks for all the joy!
Now you see why some people say he was actually a robot, because DAM! Every drummer on the planet seeks the skill you just witnessed!
Dude! Thanks for the video. First album that got me hooked to Rush was Moving Pictures 1981 (7th grade) the rest is history. Neil was and will continue to inspire people. RIP professor...
Neil Pearl was the Mozart of the drumming world !!!
Well said..tears flowing..Drummer myself. A mentor and fortunately seen RUSH OVER 117 TIMES
You have my utmost appreciation and respect for your heart felt admiration and respect for one of the most supremely gifted, talented and elite percussionists to have ever lived
Thank you for this. I've seen them numerous times throughout my life. They were all special.
Neil was without doubt the greatest drummer of all time in my opinion, the man played as if he has 2 extra arms, many of the legends of the industry admitted that he was the best
2 pedals on his feet. Bass and tambourine. 4 limbs independent from one another. hardest thing you could do. Such a great review. Thank you for that!
If you have a favorite drummer, Neil is that persons favorite drummer...
He was the best. And yet a very simple man. RIP Neil
That's actually 2 separate drum kits. He starts out on the electronic/midi drum set, then switches over to a traditional kit.
Seeing these reactions are priceless ... im old AF ... i was fortunate enough to see Rush 3 times 2 of which i was semi conscious for.... so the end of the video was a tribute to Buddy Rich....neil got lots of inspiration from buddy.... got mad respect for him for that.... if you listen to studio track songs and live songs Neil s sounds and beats are exactly the same ... the man was legendary....
That is the result of playing the drums for 40+ years. The world has truly lost a musical giant.
he rode his motor bike instead of the tour bus to take in the back roads of his journeys to take it all in.
A life without RUSH is not life.

Thanks for honoring his memory.RIP Neal Peart !
Neil Peart. "Your favourite drummers' favourite drummer,"
He's doin to them drums what Eminem does with words. He can make them do what he wants them to do. Straight master
Neil does it with words too. He was the lyricist for Rush as well as drumming. His lyrics are as good as his drumming.
Neil was pretty good at word too.
@@gritter2112 M and M is not in the same universe as Neil
The Professor reaches from beyond, welcome to Rush nation,45 years of music. Indulge!!!

He's so on POINT
Rip Neil Peart legend top5 best drummer ever his drum solos are mesmerizing by the way he has his own symbals n gold plated drum kit
It should be noted that when this video was taken of Neil he was suffering from severe arthritis, he actually lost alot of of his speed at this point from his younger days.
He is the best drummer to ever live. Rip Neil
Amen brother...he was truly great...
Shout out brother! I’ve watched that video a thousand times. I’ve been to 50 shows even. And all these years later, I still ask the same question you asked yourself tonight.

There will never be another one like Neil.....well maybe in a hundred years from now.
Amazing drummer, RIP
ps I watch you every day that you're on..glad you're feeling better :)
Wait until you read his lyrics. Rush didn't make a single bad song in 40+ years. Enjoy your journey, my friend.
Neil was not a master, he was not a king. Neil was a drum GOD.
Niel is was one of my all time favorite drummers peter cris is another drummer i loved you should check him out to they both were masters of the drums
The Keith moon of the 21st centey 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿😭
without the eccentric and self destructive
behavior of keith
...wuh? Neil Peart was very much at his peak during the 20th Century. He's only 6 years younger than Moon. They were peers.
at the end of his career he could play one time with his hands and another time with his feet and continued to take lesson through out, The Professor.
Definitely iconic. You need to react to Mike Mangini's solo at Luna Park. He's the current drummer for Dreamtheater. He's from another planet.
Rest in drummers heaven master peart
The wood used in the making of his drums come from the bottom of a river in the Carpathian Mountains (Romania). Please try to learn more about the man, as well as Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. Your respect will continue to grow, I assure you.
Rest in peace Neil ❤️
Yeah. Neil Peart had both feet going throughout this whole drum solo.
9:54 That smile says all...
R.I.P Neil Peart
Not only the bass drum but the other foot on a high hat /tambourine
Thank you for this reaction
That's why they call him the Professor
Rip Neil ✨🎶💙
Farewell to a King/Exit the Warrior-Professor
this concert was a little over 14 years ago so you have to remember he was doing all that as a 53 year old man too
Doug R and he was still taking drum lessons in 2012! So he still thought there were things to learn. But then that’s what distinguishes the best in all fields. And that attitude explains why they got there.
a 53 year old man who's daughter and wife passed away only a few years earlier, most people would give up
Doc you look fuckin AMAZED BRO
Legend
You just got to give it up , wow !!!
You should do more solo drum videos from different drummers
As a drummer as well, Neil was, and will always be, one of my idols. To say it takes years to master this, especially on a concert stage isn’t doing it justice. Like pro athletes develop skills from a super early age... drumming is no different. Decades of skills, screw ups, and consistent work ethics is what you see at work. Edit: btw.... you can use 1 drum and get 4 different sounds out of it depending where on the pad you hit it. So, not only is the right drum important, the drumstick location is just as important...
And he was in his early sixties!!
Drums is by far one of the most difficult things to learn in all of music to be great at
That was the greatest reaction vid ever 🙌🏻
Great reaction!!!!!!
Neil also wrote most of Rush's songs
Your face at 11:16 cracked me up 😂
Doc! Barz barz barz by 100 Kufis
Listen again and you'll hear the tambourine with his left foot while the right foot on the bass pedal.
No 50th Anniversary Tour... 😞 RIP Professor 😍🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
You deserve WAY more views.
Best ever
He also wrote most of the songs
RIP KING
...and he wrote all the LYRICS.
To call Neil a drummer is an insult. Neil was a consummate professional percussionist, an elite level master technician. He wasn’t called the professor for nothing.
Watch "Beyond the Limelight" on Netflix. It's a crazy story, but really good
Hey Doc, since you did Speedom already, you guys should do the OG World Wide Chopper (Speedom is WWC 2). BTW use the lyrics video, cause there is a Turkish rap segment and a Denish segment
RIP Professor!!!!!!!!!
Just got to the end of your video. Put respect on his name and pin him NEIL IS A GOAT
