Who is in your top 5 list for best drummers?
1 Buddy Rich
2 Neil Peart
3 Jon Bonham
4 Ginger Baker
5 Keith Moon
Estepario Siberiano is hands down the best drummer EVER.
Neil, Bonham, Buddy Rich, Stewart Copeland and Danny Carrey are my 5 favorites, I started playing when I was a 10 and I’m 57 now

Neil wasn't just a drummer. He was a true percussionist!
100%
The GOAT of percussion ..RIP Neil .. we miss you!
Imagine being a 15-year-old school band drummer in 1982 and seeing your first concert ever. it was Rush and it was incredible. That night changed my life forever.👍
Wow, that's awesome
That boom tick tick was friggen amazing he did that with his feet then playing odd time over top of that with his hands total independence
Extreme talent
In case you're interested, it's a quote from a Max Roach piece called "The Drum also Waltzes."
Neil is #1 imo, as great as Moon and Bonham were they werent alive as long as the professor was drumming.
Yeah it's a shame they weren't all alive to play drums together. It would have been interesting to see multiple drummers together
@@AceofBadeReacts I agree, imagine if they had the extra 30 years of playing that we were blessed to get with Neil. 😊
Keep in mind he is in his mid fifties here and still does three hour concerts
He had the energy of someone in their 20s
All sounds triggered by NP by using his feet or hands/sticks no help required!
I am learning about pedals from a bunch of different bands. It's so cool how it's done
every concert neil did solos and this is the end solo
That's awesome
As it’s often said about Neil Peart, he is your favorite drummers favorite drummer
Haha that's awesome
Neil Peart had a structured drum solo, but he left room within most of the parts for variation/improvisation. He structured it to make sure the audience got a consistent, quality, entertaining drum solo every night. He wanted his solo to tell a story about the history of percussion and drumming, from ancient Africa to military-march drumming, to Rock/heavy drumming, to Jazz to whatever crazy stuff he could throw in. Yes, he played all the sounds you heard because his kit was interfaced with midi-technology which triggers various sounds depending on which drum or cymbal he pre-programmed, during that part of the solo. Then, the technology played the Jazz/Big Band song which played live to. Really cool. Ace, just to get a bit of perspective, and to have your bell rung, check out Rush's first live album, 1976's "All the World's a Stage". Check out the drumsolo at the end of the Working Man/Finding My Way mash-up. This is a young, hungry -- not to mention angry (check out the backstory of that live album for details) -- and ballsy Neil Peart just THUNDERING on his kit! The 1976 solo is still referenced in the solo you just saw, that's how classic it is!
So many moving parts to this one. Thank you for the information
RIP Neil🤘🎸
There are segments of different solos through the decades - the cowbells were from the ‘70’s - the glockenspiel part after cowbells at the 10:57 minute mark called “pieces of eight” is from the 1980’s
oh that is awesome
There are 2 kits here. He starts on the electronic kit with black matte "cymbal" pads and the tiny kick drum. When the riser spins (it does spin), he turns around and plays the acoustic kit as it rotates to the front. He has several custom tom shells containing Roland triggers throughout the set, at least 3 pedal triggers (that I can see), and the "glockenspiel" is a Mallet Kat MIDI marimba that can be programmed to play any sound you want. FYI, a glockenspiel is a small melodic percussion instrument with solid steel bars and a very bright "bell" sound, typically heard in marching bands, and struck with metal or hard plastic mallets. The marimba is an African melodic percussion instrument laid out similarly, but with large wooden bars, and it's usually struck with yarn-covered mallets of various hardness to achieve different tones.
This solo has evolved over decades, so parts of it have been brought forward and parts have been left behind. Rest assured, this was most likely meticulously rehearsed, but there's the possibility of certain sections being a bit more free-form, allowing him to vary his approach performance to performance. I doubt he ever played it exactly the same show to show.
Yeah some people in the comments were talking about other drum solos that were even better than this one
@@AceofBadeReacts My opinion, as a musician but not a drummer, is that this solo was a personal challenge for Neil, and is perhaps more enjoyed by other dummers. Drummers will be more likely to notice and be impressed by the 3-beat waltz pattern (boom-chikchik) Neil maintains with his feet while playing complex "contradictory" polyrhythms over the top of it and never missing a beat.This was a demonstration of fundamentals mastery with creative and inspired sounds from African cultures, and the finish is a wonderful homage to Buddy Rich. As a non-drummer, I can say that, while I appreciate what he did here, and it still leaves me in awe, I prefer the YYZ solo from Exit...Stage Left, and even the solo from Show Of Hands. They are more musically linked, IMO, and just sound more "bad ass" and fun. They just rock harder. :)
Reading one of Neil's books Far and Away he mentioned that most of solos were composed but he did leave room at times for improvisation. Neil did not feel that this was one of his best performances since he was dealing with the flu.
He triggered the all the horns from his drum set and the drum set was gold plated.
He has both acoustic and electronic drums in his kit.
A couple of other drum solos
Malignant Narcissism from the Snakes and Arrows tour
Where's my thing/Here it is live in Dallas.
Neil never stopped learning though the years. He was challenging himself to grow as a drummer.
Cheers
That's so cool he was able to play despite being sick. He did so well. I'll add those to the list
@@AceofBadeReactsI know, quite amazing. Another song that comes to mind is One Little Victory live in Rio.
Not a drum solo but it also shows off his drumming.
Cheers
Rush formed in 1968. They didn't have their first album released until 1974. Their 30th anniversary tour was in 2004.
Oh I see
It’s all the Professor…. The greatest ever!
The Rush R30 tour took place in 2004.
Although the band was founded in 1968, it was just a few high school kids playing in the garage and later graduating to church basements. The lineup solidified as a trio after a few years, which consistent of Geddy, Alex, and John Rutsey (the original drummer).
It was in 1974 that Rush scored its first international recording contract and proper gigs opening for more successful bands (e.g. Kiss or Uriah Heep). Before they went out on that first tour, they parted ways with Rutsey and hired Peart.
So, the three members of Rush basically regard 1974 as their founding year rather than 1968.
ah ok. I will remember that
Rush formed in 1968 with their original drummer John Rutsey who played on their self titled debut album.
Neil Peart joined in 1974 when Rutsey left the band due to health reasons. This concert was from 2004.
I am probably remembering incorrectly, but was John Rutsey the one the fans don't talk about?
@@AceofBadeReacts for the most part. He was on their first album but most fans consider Rush as we all know it began when Neil joined. They all talk about him very respectfully in the "Beyond the lighted stage" documentary.
Neil Peart wrote and produced this solo specifically as a free teaching aid for drummers and/or drum teachers.
That's incredible
If you want to see how they assembled that particular drum kit, the Rush Drum Tech did a walk-through and you can see them build it from the platform up at this link (hopeful YT will allow the link and let it work): ruclips.net/video/bHPfy7cRA_U/видео.html
Oh that's very cool. I'll be sure to check that out
What Did You Just Witness?! The greatest percussionist (and lyricist) to ever walk the face of this planet.
Yeah that about sums it up, and yet
A lot of the performance has been rehearsed and pre-determined, but Neil said there was always an improvisational section somewhere.
There's a nice instrumental where all 3 members of Rush are jamming for about 5 minutes and then Neil does another long drum solo which some people have said was better than this one. The song is called Leave that thing Alone - but you have to react to the one from the Molson Amphitheater in Toronto 1997
I'll add it to the list
He plays the trumpet sounds with his feet and drum pads.
I believe the horns were triggered by cymbal hits
@@gold98gtp Look at his left foot..also the gong sound at the end is a drum pad that was also a horn before his tech changed it.
I added a comment that didn't show up, maybe because I included a link, but it had a link to RUclips vid with Rush's Drum Tech who walks through how they built this kit for each performance. This solo was a routine that he practiced and the drums and cymbals that have the black pads are the triggers he uses for the effects. If you see the comment I put up with the link, you can see them build the kit and explain the triggers. If YT killed my previous comment because of the link, search RUclips for "Peart", "drum kit", and maybe "drum tech interview" and you can see them build the kit from the platform up. Link:

@@reallymysterious4520 Yep, it's there.
It did show up. Thank you
Neil structured his solos like a classical composer would have different movements within a song. He would take parts out and add other parts in, in order to keep challenging himself. He had certain parts or phrases that represented his evolving style throughout the years, and he included portions of a couple of percussion songs he wrote that feature the glockenspiel, the first is from Momo's Dance Party (1997) and the second one is from Pieces of Eight (1987). In the last section, he uses midi triggers for the trumpets, and was his tribute to the great jazz drummers of the past.
It's really cool learning about this.
That had nothing to do with Alex or Geddy. Neil triggered every sound you heard with the strike of different individual drum, Tom-tom, cymbal, and a synth-pad programmed to initiate a sound to be play to the entire sound system for the show.
He is THE BEST.
Hands down.
So cool!
here something has anyone done his solo the same like a coveron video maybe someone did that would determine talent level at least in copying which to me sounds like a challenge for any drummers who say neil isnt that great as sos and so is.he is the most inventive and skilled as they get. i saw his solo in 1977 was great back then and this tour in w.p.b.fl. but he went all out at his highest physical level to do this accurately. this is from countless hrs of practice construction performance and purpose u can see his goal was reached. but i believe some r more gifted then others he was one of those .if Neil never did a drum solo u would say that guy should do one because he is so good,on the drums anyway lol. good honest reaction
FYI, Neil was making ALL of those noises, except the very ending .. all the other stuff Neil was triggering with MIDI triggers, ON THE FLY! .. there was no on-side intervention by anyone.
100% Neil Peart !!
So cool
All the sounds you heard, including the horns leading up to the "jazz finale" music sequence were played/triggered by him, using digital pads (you can watch which hand is triggering which "pitch" of horn sounds in that portion)... the only part not directly "triggered" (by a drum hit) by him, is the final actual "song" that he starts playing along with, which he also triggers the start of that (he has a drum tech who is helping in the background switching digital "kit" sounds to the appropriate "next section" setups, talk about a stressful job, LOL)... although in theory he could do that himself using the MidiKAT (digital zylophone/glock) with a pad assignment or two to "advance/retreat" the program (but that's very risky life, a mis-trigger (as hard as he plays, digital triggers can easily "false trigger" or multi-trigger (going past the desired setting) could change the entire soundset he's playing at that moment. (He used to (80s through 2000s) have a small digital drum trigger (tiny little red, or "Captain AMerica' shield pattern depending on the era) "EMERGENCY" trigger, which if things go screwed up, he could hit that and it would reset the entire digital kit to a default "generic playable" setup just in case (to my knowledge it was never needed, at the time of the article it was discussed in, it hadn't been at least).
His kit and solo has since the mid-80s, had some "synth drums" incorporated into it, which originally were very "synth" sounding, now of course he's playing actual samples of horns that are saved and triggered by him (he goes into detail about the evolution and how he wanted to make the sound more custom over time to what he really wanted, which ended in this inception of a seamless transition from "triggered horns" to "final big-band loop" the he played over (and he built custom, originally he'd used other recordings but wanted it to be "all him" so basically he built the loop that you hear at the end, but based on his love of the big band performances).
This kit is much smaller overall (thanks to the ability to use digital drums to replace "real" instruments on a one-to-many scale) than his late 70's/early 80's kit, which had ALL the real-world instruments including tubular bells, bell trees, chimes, triangles, temple blocks, crotales, etc... MUCH simpler now than it used to be. If you want a good example of that, look for their performance of Xanadu live, you hear all these tinkles and chimes and such, and it's all just him, Geddy (on synths in the beginning using synth modulations to make bird chirping sounds literally by tweaking knobs on envelopes on old analog synths) and Alex being crazy creative with guitar, but sounds like an orchestra playing over recorded sounds.
That's incredible. Thank you for the information
Lists of the "best"( especially in music) are so much about personal preferences /styles/genres/favorite band etc & alot of the actual "best" don't get mentioned like : Gergo Borlai/Marco Minnimen/Alex Ruddinger/Estapario Siberiano/Mike Portnoy/Greyson Necrutmen etc etc
I think Mike Portnoy does get mentioned quite a bit
@@AceofBadeReacts I was referring to most peoples favorite drummer - it's usually Peart ,Bonham,Carey (more well known drummers)If you look into the ones I mentioned you'll see what I'm talking about
That section right after the break you took is the only portion that has any improv! The rest is mapped out and he remembers and plays it the same every nite! Greatest drummer ever! (And not just because he out lived all the others) be well and God bless… from Texas!! #maga24
It's so cool he was able to map all this out. I am also in texas
mostly rehearsed with a small improv put in at one point.
It’s more Neil had a style people after him took note of , Taylor Hawkins , Chad Smith , Danny Carey , plus many others
For sure. He Is a massive inspiration from what I understand
Neil's drum solo's were rehearsed and more of a song on to themselves, however the solos did evolve from one year to the next as his drum kits grew. I was lucky enough to catch several shows during the years. Rush is amazing!
That is awesome
Really LOVE THE REACTION!!! Maybe check out NEIL PEART Buddy Rich HONOR????? Surprises awaits!! :) ♥AND, or... Victor Wooten bass music????????? :) “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13

I think you would enjoy watching the fear trilogy from Rush. These are from their Grace Under Pressure tour in 1984. I would be interested to see your reaction to them. They produced a 4th one later on in their career called Freeze but I haven't been able to find a live version of it.
That does sound like a pretty cool series of reactions to do
So, just curious. Can't hear you while the video is playing, so how many wows was that in total? 😂 On behalf of the late Neil Peart...you're welcome 🤘👏
Yeah I lost count after a few
he does a show with buddy rich's band
This might ACTUALLY, be the WORST "reaction" video!! LOL
Oh ok
Yes you just watched the only drum solo in existence from Neil Peart. Oh wait, I mean the only one known by RUSH fans.
Here are some other BETTER solos.
Letterman
Snakes and Arrows
Rio
Show of hands
Yep... Getting tired of this one. I like the Exit Stage Left one, in the middle of YYZ.
I really like the drum solo that follows Leave That Thing Alone in the 1997 Toronto show.
@@mdu2112 exactly
@@lindaward5376 precisely
Yeah to be fair, this is the specific one suggested and I did enjoy it very much
Why did you do that to the video ??? Others DO NOT !!!! SHAME ON THE MESS AND SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!! How dare you do that to Neil!!!!!.
I didn't do anything to Neil?
OLD!! 😩 so very, very, O L D…….
