I definitely know that Neil was Danny Carey’s favorite drummer. Been following Danny for decades, so I know a lot about him and his inspirations. Neil is/was unbelievable. No doubt. But Danny took it to another level with his polyrhythms and style. I’ll always have HUGE respect for Neil Peart. But Danny Carey will always be my favorite. Also because I am much more a fan of Tool than I ever was of Rush. (Tool’s peak was during my high school days…so that’ll be hard to beat by ANY band) Much love y’all! Gotta love these drummers! ✌🏽😎🤘🏽
I love Danny but yeeaaa.... He didn't take things to another level but rather went in an other direction on the Peart highway. Neil is the blueprint that Danny used to build and create his style but Neil will always be above Carey in my book.
@@jacquesjrviens3384 but just because someone started something…doesn’t mean someone inspired by them, couldn’t raise the bar. Yeah, Danny took it in a different direction…and it’s one the my personal preference enjoys better. Danny saw what Neil was doing and said “hold my beer”. Doesn’t mean Neil isn’t the forefather, and should always receive the utmost respect…but if you want to talk who’s REALLY the OG…then Buddy Rich would even come before Neil. If Neil created Danny Carey’s blueprint…then Buddy created Neil’s. Either way…we’re talking about phenomenal talent at the top of its game. Either way you slice it, you can’t go wrong.
Playing two different time signatures at the same time is insane. Neil once described his live performances as running a marathon while doing calculus in your head.👏
That was a really great and observant reaction to a masterfully composed and played drum solo. Neil Peart was definitely one of the greatest drummers of all time and my personal favorite. R.I.P. Neil. You noticed several things that a lot of other reactors miss. First the delay at the beginning where the sound engineer send the beat around the room, Also you had the correct term for the grip that Neil switched to, it is called traditional grip. The grip that most rock drummers use the majority of the time is called match grip. Also you understood that at one point he was purposefully playing different time signatures with his feet than his hands. In that section he is playing a waltz with his feet (boom on the bass drum and, chick, chick with the foot pedal of the hi hat) while playing completely rhythms and time signatures over top of it with his hands. Yes all of the horns that you hear are trigger by him individually with the exception of when the full band kicks in at the same time that the video is played on the screens behind him. As you said the very last section he is playing along to a track but he does trigger the track as well. One thing that is pretty hard to see in the video is that he is actually wearing dance shoes. He was always progressing and pushing himself. He never stopped learning in fact later in his career he took drum lessons from Freddy Grubber. If you get a chance you should check out the video of him performing "Cotton Tail" with the Buddy Rich Band at the Buddy Rich tribute show. It includes a drum solo and like this solo It is another great example of how versatile and skilled of a drummer he really was. Neil Peart - Cotton Tail (w/ Drum Solo) m.ruclips.net/video/aT9333XiR4U/видео.html&pp=ygUUbmVpbCBwZWFydCBkcnVtIHNvbG8%3D
I was fortunate enough to see this solo twice on this tour. I was also even more fortunate to meet him (for an autograph) back in 81 I think. Your favourite drummer’s favourite drummer. R.I.P. Professor.
Yes, that first run was triggers .. I saw him do this live a couple of times. Of course the last part is and audio/video track. Neil was absolutely on a completely different level than perhaps anyone who has ever played percussion instruments. RIP Neil .. we miss you!
He doesn’t even need a band! Ha! In the Hold Your Fire tour book Neil described everything he had sampled and explained that if it was all physical instrument there would be no room on stage for the other two guys. Then tongue in cheek he said “ yeah I don’t need those other guys!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Danny is amazing and I wont ever say a thing against him but Neal IS the Drum God that all others derive their power from. In all seriousness, I saw Rush in the early 90's live and Neal's solo (there's always one) happened in the middle of the song YYZ. They started the song then he started his solo. The other two left the stage for about 10 minutes while he did his thing then they returned and they finished the song. It was a religious experience. (for the record, I too am a guitarist with and inner drummer) Yes, I normally watch your acapella reactions but I love all music and as previously stated, Drum God
Great reaction. Refreshing how much that you picked up on. Even drummers and other musicians that react don't pick up on a lot of it, which is surprising. You should add his sticks to your collection (Nice by the way). Pro-Mark 747 Neil Peart sticks. Like many say of him, "He's your favorite drummers, favorite drummer"
That was totally awesome! Drums are my favorite! I use to listen to Rush (when I was younger). Story.. I was able to help "Strawberry Alarm Clock" tear down after a MDA fund raisers. Can you imagine Adam R try to imitate him?
Neil always liked his higher toms tuned very high. While I think the “best drummer of all time” argument is a little pointless because there is not greatest drummer of all time, Neil is definitely my favorite drummer of all time. At least for me playing with traditional grip enables you to have a lighter touch. Drummers normally use traditional for more lighter genres like jazz and matched for harder and louder genres like rock, hard rock, metal and others. Neil and Phil Collins were the two people who made me want to become a drummer in the first place. Near the end of his solo Neil was triggering the stabs with his Roland pads, but later on he was playing to a track. The way Neil was able to have two different time signatures going on between his feet and his hands in his solos always amazed me.
The closer to the rim of the snare the more of a crack sound as opposed to just the sound of the snare lines. He's doing both hitting the snare at an angle where he hits the rim and the snare. No she would not be happy! We have so many instruments. We have a regular xylophone It's old but still sounds great.
Neil Peart is why Danny Carey drums and was and is a massive fan of Neil and Rush. Watch them jam together at Stewart Copeland's place "a little more noise", drummer Thomas Lang is on trombone (did not make to drums on this set) and Copeland playing guitar
Just a cool, little fun fact, Neil never considered himself talented, but he did consider himself relentless. I thought that was interesting! Also, he never claimed to be a drummer, but a percussionist, and he continued taking lessons probably just prior to his death.
I'm going to try to add a link to an interview with Rush's drum and sound techs who show and explain how they set up Neil Peart's kit: ruclips.net/video/bHPfy7cRA_U/видео.html
Yeah he triggers all the trumpets... he's got (at least) one on each foot, one to the left (underneath the keyboard thing - can't remember what it's called) one in front (the wee black one between snare and tom) and the left one (of the pair to his right). The final video sequence is triggered by the right one of the pair to his right. What I don't know is whether the triggers are one note or 2 - see the 5 double note sequence at 09:16 where he's using the left of the pair
Hi Jeremy, I am new to your channel and was just watching your reaction to Chalk outline. I saw this video that caught my eye as I checked out your channel. I am a fan of a band called The Warning. 3 sisters from Mexico that plays hard rock. They even have their rendition of Enter Sandman on Metallica's Blacklist album. Pau, the drummer, has been likened to Neil Peart and Dave Grohl by the way she plays. Having recently opened for Muse, The Foo Fighters, Guns and Roses and toured with Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless, these young ladies are killing it at the moment. There are not many bands that sound better live than their studio recordings, and this band will impress you live. I hope you will find time to give these girls some exposure on your channel and I am sure you will be blown away as Pau, the drummer will sometimes take lead vocals whilst simultaneously drumming too. A particular song called Dust to Dust live at Teatro Metropolitan theatre cdmx will show you how great these ladies are live. Also, from the same concert songs like Choke, Animosity, Enter Sandman, and Disciple are great to watch. Great pro shot video and audio too. I have left you a link for Disciple at this concert if you will honour these fine ladies with your reaction. I am sure The Warning Army will be here to show their appreciation. Thanks Jeremy 🤟 ruclips.net/video/Wo0odllVq8g/видео.html
Neil did not feel that this was one of his best performances as he was dealing with having the flu at the time. His drum kit rotated and yes he was triggering all the horns until the last part. Guess who Danny Carey's inspiration was.....Neil Peart.
Neil hit the ground running the second he met Alex and Geddy. Danny was a shit drummer for about a decade from Green Jelly, to the early Tool songs. He was basically a failure to launch until mid career.
5:04 - Lol...apparently you completely missed when the drum kit rotated and he stood and turned around quickly? Go back to 3:56 in this video if you want to see the kit rotating.

Great analogy!!!
He's playing 3/4 with his feet and 4's with his hands. Insane drummer. Got to see Rush many times and always a good show.
@@samuelharvey3496 I know, I played drums for 40 years and like I said, playing 2 different time signatures at the same time is insane.🔥
Neil wore dancing shoes while performing - felt that drumming was a dance.
That was a really great and observant reaction to a masterfully composed and played drum solo. Neil Peart was definitely one of the greatest drummers of all time and my personal favorite. R.I.P. Neil.

The GOAT!
You need to watch Neil's playing at the Buddy Rich tribute concert, Neil is amazing 🤘RUSH🤘.Smiles 😃 from 🇨🇦
Professor Neil has spoken!
He doesn’t even need a band! Ha! In the Hold Your Fire tour book Neil described everything he had sampled and explained that if it was all physical instrument there would be no room on stage for the other two guys. Then tongue in cheek he said “ yeah I don’t need those other guys!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The drummer from Queen was awesome also. For me, Neil will always be the GOAT

Neil Peart, The One-Man-Marching band!
Danny Carey gives it up for Neil Peart. They were very good friends for a number of years before Neil passed... Rest in Power, Professor.
That setup 😲
That was phenomenal! Thank you and sorry at the same time.
I have a craving for more Cowbell! One of the classic SNL bits. He had an electronic xylaphone. (sp).
Check out Neil Peart drum solo Cottontail

I was fortunate to see one of his solos in person. was a few years before his passing. the video just doesn't do it justice.
I cannot tap one foot at a different pace than the other for long. Enough said
That was totally awesome! Drums are my favorite! I use to listen to Rush (when I was younger). Story.. I was able to help "Strawberry Alarm Clock" tear down after a MDA fund raisers. Can you imagine Adam R try to imitate him?
that chee chee cheechee is on his left foot

His left foot is triggering those stabs.
Traditional grip was created during the civil war because of the way the drummer boys had to carry their drums
Here's where the solo's last part comes from: ruclips.net/video/aT9333XiR4U/видео.html

These were actually triggers, it's just that the last trigger was a full on track that he was playing along with!

He's the second best drummer but i know thee best drummer on the planet
They were triggers, all by him.
Not Woody Woodpecker - 3 Stooges
yes he is triggering

You need a mustache
Noooooooo. I’m good. lol. No 80’s porn staches for me. I grew up in that era, and I didn’t like it then. Lol. Def won’t be doing that. 🫠
