When Danny Carey , Doanne Perry drummer for Jethro Tull , Chad Smith , Taylor Hawkins, Stewart Copland drummer for the police plus many others come to his last show and stand off the side beside him you know he is very important in the drum world , important but extremely humble
This man singlehandedly created more drummers than anyone. Tho it's second hand, I wouldn't play if my father didn't play & he wouldn't have started with out the GOAT. 🤘🔥
@@FUBAR1986 yes and he was so happy jumping up and down like a little kid , Greg Bissonet was a great friend of Neil also , he told stories on how the would just hang out and jam together, then go by @ lake and just talk for hours
@cackalackcowboy2127 you didn't understand his post.. he said those drummer were in attendance at Neil's last show... Buddy Rich is probably the best drummer of all time but he did not attend Neil's last show due to death.
Often neglected in the reactions to this is this is a true composition. It has an intro, transitions, a climax. This is a fully developed piece of music, not just a dude drumming at an outrageously high level. Neil was an artist and I miss him very much.
Chad got done his Solo and Neil was last. He said to Chad, can't you hit it harder! Or something to that effect. ruclips.net/video/Xck26sQHEnU/видео.htmlsi=BjTXrxkaX5uhXxEs
There are many other drummers that are better technically, better by a lot, but Neil could compose his musical parts in addition to writing deep lyrics, those other great drummers just can't do all that, that's why Neil is an absolute legend for ever.
Imagine being a 15-year-old school band drummer and going to your first concert and seeing this guy. This was in 1982. I was lucky enough to see them another 14 times through the years. Always incredible.🔥🙏
I’m right there with you. Saw them at the Moving Pictures tour, back in high school. Then saw them for every other tour and would hit the road and see them two weeks later. Saw them at the last show in Vegas for my birthday. Bitter sweet show.
I'm going to preface this and say that I'm not at all taking anything away from Neil when I say this, as I'm a huge NP/Rush fan....but as a drummer, crossovers really aren't hard to do. They look great...they're flashy...it's a real easy way to impress everyone, but they're not at all hard to play. I was 14 years old and saw Neil do them in concert on the Hold Your Fire tour...I was doing them the proficiently the next day after practicing them for about an hour. Getting them up to speed took a few days.
In the drumming world it's called independence, for obvious reasons. Not a musician, just watch channels of people who are. I admire a person who can control each limb independent from the others. I can barely walk and chew gum. lol
I think he was 53 when he he did this and had probably already been playing for 45 minutes or more. Did this and then played for about another 45 minutes. He continued for another 10 years playing at an incredibly high level. Without a doubt the Greatest ever! Thank you Mr Peart. ❤😢🇨🇦
Mr. Neil Peart is a national treasure of his country of origin, Canada, just like so many of our other performers. His drum solos stand out just like his band's music, Rush, on the world stage. Neil Ellwood Peart OC. You may ask what the OC means and that is understandable. OC means Neil received the Order of Canada medal. An OC is the highest honour of merit a Canadian can receive. Neil unfortunately left us early in life in 2020 I believe but his skills, his music, and his life lives on for us in so many ways.
And to add in the perspective of, this was a break in the middle of a Rush concert, and he was in his 50s at the time. I'm in my 50s now and am exhausted just watching it lol. RIP Neal 🙏 you're loved and missed.
Rush was that rare band , everything they recorded on their albums , they could play live without any backing tracks or other musicians ( Geddy Lee , Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart ). I was fortunate to see them in concert several times 🙂
My day is going great , thanks for asking , I hope your day is as good. For starters RUSH has been my favorite band since 1974 , I'm 56 years old. It warms this old heart when I see younger generations listening to and enjoying the classic old school bands. RUSH has been making music for 40 years , it's a very deep rabbit hole but I think that you can handle it. Please dive in head first. Great video thank you for making it I look forward to the next one.
Imagine being a teenager, going to your very first Rush concert. Now imagine sitting just behind and to the right of the stage. My friends and I had almost this exact view of Neil and his spectacular drum set. Never saw anything like it. He was absolutely mesmerizing throughout. Now imagine watching a drum solo not very different than this video but with two roadies spinning him and the drum set around merry-go-round style. Unbelievably genius. Neil flipping sticks in the air, catching them, keeping the beat, blasting toms and symbols, bass drums pounding, all in a blur of strobe lights while spinning. Neil Peart is absolutely The GOAT. Rush was the best sounding, best all-around 3-man orchestra I’ve ever seen. And they sounded exactly the same each of the 3 other tours I got to see. RIP Professor 🙏🏻
FYI. Neil started this drum solo from ending of the Mystic Rythms, which that song required his back drum kit, that his his electrict drum kit, his percussion board is on his right, then he hits a certain percussion tab to turn the drum kit back to the acaustic side of the kit which is considered his front kit, that he plays a majority of his drums for about 95% of his songs.!!! Any time you see Neil play the drums with the percussion on the left side he is at his front drum kit.!!
Neil Peart was probably the best progressive rock drummer of all time I’ve been drumming for 47 years and he was my idol and I was so fortunate enough to study under Joe Morello so if you think meals bad check out Joe Morello, the impossible drum solo or Buddy Rich Westside Story drum solo Neil idolize these guys if you notice in the end of the video he was playing along. Buddy Rich was in the background. If you really want to get your mind blown check out Joe Morello, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa. And Louie Belsen, the first double bass drummer. Without those guys you wouldn’t have any other drummers today and Neil realize that that’s why you’ll see him playing traditional grip something he worked very hard at later in his life in his career. best of luck. Hope you choose one of these guys for your next video.
Had the pleasure of seeing Peart play live 16 times. Seen countless video performances going back to MTV broadcast concerts from 1983 and Betamax tapes, to youtube uploads and podcasts now. Every performance is his best. RiP.
I imagine drummers watching Neil for the first time have one of two reactions, either "Damn! I've GOT to practice more!" or "Crap. Time to learn the bass, I'll never be that good!" Lol
Even into his later years, he was still taking lessons from other drummers. He was a sponge of knowledge and always wanted to get “better.” Although he was mostly noted for progressive rock, he was also a huge fan of jazz and swing music (hence the ending of that solo.) Those feet you saw were in ballet shoes. He wore them to get a better “feel” for all the pedals and triggers in his kit. I was only fortunate enough to see Rush live 6 times but every time was unbelievable- and usually after his solos, I felt a little dizzy and had to sit down…
You see lots of fireworks on stage with Neil, but the thing that comes out is just so damn musical. He always plays with phrasing and nuance. He was a great musician who happened to be a drummer. RIP.
I have had the privilege to watch Neil play so many times, both on video and many times live and I can say that watching you enjoy Neil going solo was a treat for me. He's got so many more solos and of course the individual songs, hope you enjoy your journey through his talent.
Anyone that reacts to RUSH and / or Buckethead gets subbed immediately. These guys are beyond amazing and I feel so very fortunate to have seen them live more than i can recall. Thanks for the upload and reaction.
Oh, and this was in the middle of a 3 ½ hour show. After Neil's solo he got a little time to rest up while Dirk (Geddy) and Lerxst (Alex) do an acoustic version of the song "Resist". My wife and I saw a couple of shows on the Time Machine tour. Our kids were with us for the show at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. It sits along the Colombia river and it is the most incredibly beautiful venue I have been to.
He was way into his career when he reached out to a drumming teacher who taught him the overhand/underhand technique. That snare part in the middle was likely a tribute to that teaching.
Peart’s performance on temples of syrinx in absolutely kick ass !!!! Along with many more performances !!!!!!!!!! The professor kicks ass every time !!!!!!!!! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼. Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you !!
Neil did not feel that this was one of his best performances as he was dealing with having the flu at the time. 🤯 To check out a couple more solos from him. Malignant Narcissism from the Snakes and Arrows tour Where's my thing/ Here it is live in Dallas Cheers
Welcome to the wonderful land of Pearth. There is no place else like it. Never has been. Never will be again. To say that he's the GOAT is actually an understatement. This is who the term Rock God describes. There are professional drummers put there making good money who aren't a tenth the talent of the man you just witnessed
Great reaction my friend...thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction.....all the reaction videos I have seen always ended the same way.....people just blown away and speechless at what the Professor does when he is behind the drums....proves why he is and always will be the GOAT....great work on the video
Always a treat to watch the 'younger' generation watch this solo, and see the look of shock on their face! Nice reaction, and if you decide to go down the Rush rabbit hole, you'll find so many amazing beats and fills amongst a group of 3 master musicians! You won't be disappointed!! And btw, Neil was almost 60 years old at the time!! lol
I would be there in Frankfurt back then. Neil Peart was not only one of the greatest drummers ever but also one of the most sophisticated lyricists. I bet his mother was a Swiss clockwork and his father was an Octopus. To me RUSH are THE band. Three normal guys taking Rock to higher levels. Neil Peart turned the drums into a speaking instrument, not just a rhythmic tool. Considering that Neil Peart had a flu back then he still did a great performance. His death in 2020 was a real loss. Such a humble and wise person - who would turn into a real animal at the drums! To me one of the greatest musicians ever. And his lyrics supported me becoming a thinking man. I love RUSH.
I'm recently disabled and about to be homeless. My son and I are the only members of our family still alive and no friends willing to help, and there's no resources in this area for help. So I seriously don't think it'll be alright. I do appreciate that you care enough about people to try and help them.
Can't wait for you to watch Rush YYZ Live in Rio!! Won't spoil it ,but it really is a must see for the deep rabbit hole that is Rush !! Greetings from YYZ 🇨🇦
Just a quick note that the Big Band Jazz bit at the end is a Count Basie tune called "One O'clock Jump". Neil did that tune on the Burning For Buddy sessions.
7:49 i laughed as you sat back in your chair with the look of disbelief that you are hearing the work of one (not even young!) man delivering the breadth of sound from his kit. 🇨🇦
This man was unbelievable, he didn’t even seem human. His drum solos were the pinnecle of every show. I saw them live on every tour since Permenant Waves, 1980 and his drum solos were always incredible, but somehow he topped his own solos each year. The man was already considered the best rock drimmer since their 2112 album, in 1976. Most musicians would just stay there, but Peart was never happy with his playing, so he had the humility to seek out jazz legend Freddie Gruber for lessons. That was when he began having those Jazz parts towards the end of each solo. Peart was actually triggering those horn sounds himself.
The Drummer of all time! The Professor Neal Peart, RIP! Got to see RUSH in The Metro Center, (Power Windows Tour) In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada . Great Video!😀👍👍👌✌
AND THIS IS WHY THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER LIKE PEART EVER AGAIN!! My drum mentor, The Professor is so ICON for!!!! Respect!
When Danny Carey , Doanne Perry drummer for Jethro Tull , Chad Smith , Taylor Hawkins, Stewart Copland drummer for the police plus many others come to his last show and stand off the side beside him you know he is very important in the drum world , important but extremely humble
Taylor Hawkins presented Rush into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2013
This man singlehandedly created more drummers than anyone. Tho it's second hand, I wouldn't play if my father didn't play & he wouldn't have started with out the GOAT. 🤘🔥

Often neglected in the reactions to this is this is a true composition. It has an intro, transitions, a climax. This is a fully developed piece of music, not just a dude drumming at an outrageously high level.
Neil was an artist and I miss him very much.
He was, is and always will be the GOAT of DRUMMING
True
not forever, forever.... but a good loooong while
Neil is a legend, but the goat is Buddy
I'll take Danny Carey
He copied buddy @@emanuelealdini450
The Professor. The result of crossing a librarian, a poet and Einstein with an octopus.

Prove me wrong ! 🇨🇦
no his idol buddy rich is the greatest nothing against neil it is what it is !

I will fight you if you disagree
Neil had the flu for this performance and still gave us one of the greatest drum solos ever recorded. What a beast
He was exercising the demon from his body.
And he was unhappy with his performance on this solo that night as well.
Imagine being a 15-year-old school band drummer and going to your first concert and seeing this guy. This was in 1982. I was lucky enough to see them another 14 times through the years. Always incredible.🔥🙏

He's not just crisscrossing, he's doing it right hand over, then right hand under. Back and forth. So even MORE impressive.
I'm going to preface this and say that I'm not at all taking anything away from Neil when I say this, as I'm a huge NP/Rush fan....but as a drummer, crossovers really aren't hard to do.

I love watching people react to this performance!! RIP Professor...
Neil was essentially a professional athlete, but with wonderful lyricism and perfect rhythm.
He once said playing in Rush was like running a marathon while solving complex algebraic equations
Will never get tired of seeing people's reaction to seeing The Professor for the first time.
That’s because Neil just wasn’t a drummer. He was a true percussionist.
Not only did he show...he matched the dancing in the old movies! Professor of Beats, Thank you! GREAT VIDEO!❤
When you’re keeping one time signature with your feet and an entirely different time signature with your hands… at the SAME TIME… you are a badass.
Agreed. Always astounded me, that ability. I can only imagine it's like a form of ambidextrous?. Amazing.
he in this video has up to 6 different time signatures if you listen. it is close to the 180 reach around he does.
In the drumming world it's called independence, for obvious reasons. Not a musician, just watch channels of people who are. I admire a person who can control each limb independent from the others. I can barely walk and chew gum. lol
Greatest of ALL TIME! ... RIP Neil Peart .. we miss you!
Thanks so much for the reaction and admiration. It touches my heart that Neil's fan base is growing.
I think he was 53 when he he did this and had probably already been playing for 45 minutes or more. Did this and then played for about another 45 minutes. He continued for another 10 years playing at an incredibly high level. Without a doubt the Greatest ever! Thank you Mr Peart. ❤😢🇨🇦

The Professor. Take note. There will never be another.
And now you see why they call him the professor no one plays the drums better than Neil Peart. God bless his precious soul.
Peart is considered to be one of the best, if not the best rock drummers of all time. Its hard not to agree...

On top of being the best drummer I ever seen he is always one the best song writers, producer, director etc etc etc
He authored all their lyrics, I do believe.
