- What's you favorite part clip in this video? Check out this gem: A multi-camera shoot of Neil Peart sound checking! It's been a year today since Neil's passing. Here's some of Hudson Music Founder Rob Wallis' tribute:
Hudson Music shared a long history with Neil, collaborating on two educational DVD/Video projects, Anatomy of a Drum Solo, and Taking Center Stage, as well as the career retrospective book, also titled Taking Center Stage. Prior to these project, Rob Wallis and Paul Siegel collaborated with Neil on the Warner Bros release, A Work in Progress.
Integrity. That is what I would say if asked to describe Neil in a word. Luckily, during our 30-year professional and personal relationship, I was able to see how that quality ran like a steel rod through every aspect of his too-short life.
Our relationship started, like many others, with writing a letter - yes, putting a communication in the mail. In the mid-80’s, my then-business partner Paul Siegel and I began taking turns writing to Neil several times a year, asking if he’d like to do an educational video. We would always get back a polite response telling us it was not the right time, but to “not give up hope.” During that time, we began a relationship with a senior Rush management person, Pegi Cecconi, whose initial role, we came to see, was probably to “feel us out.” We would occasionally meet Pegi for lunch or dinner when she was in NYC for Rush label business. And so it went for several years (probably many more than I remember).
While we were reaching out to Neil, Cathy Rich was also writing to him, asking if he’d perform at one of her Scholarship Concert/Tributes to her father, Buddy Rich. And after one of her many letters, he eventually said yes. He had decided that he wanted to try performing with a big band, playing the music of Buddy Rich. This took place on April 8th, 1991, at the Ritz in NYC (the old Studio 54, which became a concert hall). As word got out that Neil would be performing outside of Rush in a small venue, the excitement from the drumming community around the world was near fever pitch.

I saw this posted somewhere. It’s true and it made me smile.
“The earth is over 4.5 billion years old and you existed at the same time as Neil Peart. You are truly blessed.”
I'm am extremely grateful for that fact.
I’m 56 years old. I was introduced to Rush when I was 17. He soon became my hero and remains so to this day.
Bro me too but I was to stupid to understand them wow this man is a genius!! Very Very intelligent
He wasn't called the Professor for nothing 😥♥️
I’m about to turn 58 and i have you beat. lol
Same I'm 54 Professor Peart is one of my biggest role models
I was just thinking its about a year since Neil died and this video shows up. I remember where I was when I heard he died. Still hurts to know he’s gone.
I am 57. My Dad did not appreciate the music of my youth. He was a drummer from the 50's. I learned drums from him. When I played Rush in my bedroom as a teen. He knocked on my door and asked who was that? I pointed to the poster on three long haired guys and said Rush. He said no, who is drumming?? My Dad came in and listened and smiled. Thank you for that Neil!!!!
The type of reaction Neil evinced from all drummers; He was always who he was and any drummer heard it immediately.
Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon. RIP Neil.
When I heard that Neil was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart. RIP Professor!!
R.I.P. Thank You! It's a year now that my hero has gone to a better place. The Blessed One Neil Peart
Brazil fans
Thank you. Reading Ghost Rider right now. Than man sure loved adventure and lived a full life. RIP NEP
Whether it's soundcheck or concert I always marvel at Neil's playing. It's always business with him, complete concentration striving for perfection always. No time for goofing around. RIP Neil.
I remember when I turned 12 in a marching band al I listen to rush and this drummer named Neil peart a true musician and a professor and he wrote the lyrics probably the best drummer of all time
What a tragic loss to the world.
A true inspiration to so many people.
Thank you Neil and whoever was involved in the creation and release of this video.
Peart once wrote "I cant pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." To many of us you were not a stranger you were that long awaited friend. Thank you for many years of inspiration.
I miss seeing you and Rush. The world lost a great man on this day last year. Thanks for posting this.
Very much agree 1 year later.
Thank you again. What a major loss but insanely huge and talented legacy. The only reason I have any intelligence is because I picked Rush to be my favorite band at 13. I’m 52 now.
I’m sure his 1st wife and daughter Selena were there to greet him. A great man.
I'm 52 as well and they been my favorite band since 13 too.
Let's be clear about one thing.
Rush picked you. Rush picked all of us.
@@villain68 how lucky we’ve been . Picking great talent with no drama and no breakups. We won’t talk about the time Alex......lol ❤️
@@kevinbevin2 that’s lovely 😊
"The only reason I have any intelligence is because I picked Rush to be my favorite band at 13."
Best comment ever. I think many of us can say the same.
the one video that i dont care if it's in 240p. Godspeed Pratt.
I'll never be able to watch these videos without tearing up. I'm almost 52, discovered Rush when I was 12. There will never be another like this.
WOW! THIS was AWESOME! Neil was my Hero, My Mentor and the REASON I became a Drummer/Percussionist and STILL AM 42 yrs. Later!
He IS. WAS, and ALWAYS WILL BE MY HERO, MENTOR and MAIN INSPIRATION!
WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH MAESTRO! MORE THEN YOU KNOW!!! :(
Neil was truly gifted in n percussion and lyrics. Their music stands the test of time. Truly a huge gift to the world.
Who would put a thumbs down??? The G. O. A. T.
I really don't know. I am sure they are ignorant.

Thank you, Professor. Thank you for your endless inspiration and influence. Always remembered, never forgotten
Could of met Neil personally in Colorado in the summer of 2017 but I knew that if I had of attempted to try to meet him, I wouldn't be able to control my nerves and I would have made a complete fool out of myself.
You just watched the master of a drum kit the best.....period
The Maestro,The Professor,The Lengend!!!!
Neil busting balls! Total respect to all you American fans!
RIP, my idol :(
Definitely the GOAT. There can be no debate.
Saw Rush 3x. NP was amazing.
"A personal impact"
I man I have never met in person. His speaking in interviews, his music/drumming abilities, his song lyrics, and book writing, has touched me more then I can begin to explain. At the same time, I am able to find joy and happiness. My heart breaks with sadness to such a loss. A man with so much impact. I find myself thinking......"What would Neil think? How would Neil feel? What might Neil do? How might Neil react? Would he play in this timing?"
Neil Peart: A man with a kind and gentle soul. A man whose drumming moved mountains.
R.I.P. my friend. You are in our hearts for a lifetime.
🤘🏼🙏🏻❤🥁🎶🎶🎶🥁❤🙏🏻🤘🏼
Love and Miss you so much Neil 💗 RIP Master 😥
It's hard to believe it's been a year, we miss you Neil we are lucky to have these videos.
He's the king of percussion
I began playing drums at about 10 years old. I had a few inspirations from 1982 and onwards, mainly Bill Ward, Vinnie Appice and Peter Criss.
All changed at age 14 when I was introduced to Rush. Neil has been the biggest inspiration on my drumming by far. Not only that,
he was intelligent as few. He was taken away from us far too soon. Bless you Neil and thanks.
simply the best
Followed Rush from the late 70's right up to the end, only saw them once live 10yrs ago and to watch the Prof perform was a sight to behold. R.I.P Neil and thank you.
The Best!
Thank you posting. Miss you Neil.
I get the feeling Neil is still playing wherever he is right now in heaven somewhere, so this is probably what he would be doing.
7:11 is awesome. When you're three monsters, whenever a monster makes a call, you respond.
Just look how complex Subdivisions is..and he just did it so smoothly. !!
Even though he is gone, millions will continue to study and learn from the Professor!
Fantastic!
Awesome Awesome Awesome !!! Glad I seen him in concert !! Nobody in the world performs like Neil Peart !!! TurboJimbo
January 8, 2021 . One day and after one year of his passing .
The Professor Ladies and “Gentlemen has “Exit stage left “ . I will always remember the great memories as a avid
“ Rush “ I was only 13 years old when I first saw this very Highly respectable known World Wide Musicians . As the years went by and I grew into listening and going to many countless Concerts . Among the Band mates “Peart “was a humble individual and Private was just a average dude - each concert and countless Tours he did his part in the Performances . And just listening to him on candid interviews . He did speak very well for one to Understand .
Not as a Rock start but as a Human Soul . Long Live RUSH my fellow Earthlings of all Walks of life .
Does anyone think listening to this highly intelligent, talented man that he might have been on the spectrum of something? Like Super Genius Savant? Damn I miss him in this world.
Wtf
You know... I have thought this MANY, MANY TIMES! And NOT JUST because of his Drumming Skills... but his WRITING Skills! His Philosophy of Life and the Universe! He Aspired to try to be "THE BEST HE COULD BE" at EVERYTHING... INCLUDING as a HUMAN BEING/PERSON!
I Met him/cliniced with him at PIT In Hollywood back in 1987, and he Was SO AWESOME! He hadn't been as tainted by the world and life at that point, but
I KNOW he had issues with "FAME"... but I HOPE things I got to say to him, got through and helped him deal with it all a bit better?
I told him, "I KNOW you have issues with Adulation and the whole "FAME/ROCK STAR" thing... but We here at PIT aren't JUST "FANS"... We are here
as STUDENTS to Learn from you! And Whether you think so or NOT You have ALOT to Teach us! And It isn't JUST your drumming/musician ship that
we come to learn from... it's YOU! A World Traveler, A Writer, Musician, Humanitarian... You INSPIRE US to be BETTER then we are! To PUSH Our Limits of WHO and WHAT we are! To make what we do, not JUST with music, but with LIFE "BETTER" then we are doing it! And NO You are NOT a "GOD"... Well not in the "Biblical/Mythological" sense anyway, {He really Laughed at that one!} even though I know SOME fans might think that of you and Ged and Alex, and You all aren't "SUPER-HUMANS" although Touring and putting out album after album of AWESOME MUSIC that you three do MIGHT slightly constitute that?! {Again he really Laughed at that!} You ARE "SUPER" to US! And Yes you are VERY "FAMOUS"... But You are ALSO Very Inspirational!
THAT is I think MORE attractive then just the "FAME/ROCK STAR" part! For ME it is anyway! Sure there are LOTS of "FAMOUS" People in MANY walks of life...
But I THINK that the Music of RUSH is MORE on the Inspirational Side of Like Carl Sagan, or A Great Teacher/Mentor we had in School! Again... that is what you three are to ME anyway!"
I know he really liked what I said! I also told him to not worry so much ABOUT the whole "FAME" thing... Just... go with it! Just ROLL with it!
And I still can help wonder if my words didn't come back to him when he was writing "Roll the Bones" because that IS a Major theme in ALL of the songs on that album! "CHANCE" "Why are We Here... Because we are HERE! DEAL WITH IT!"
ROW the BOATS!!! LOL :D

@@j.s.connolly8579 thank you for that wonderful story. It occurred to me in the shower this morning, watching this and listening to Mission. Nice to see someone gets what I mean.
I was listening to "Subdivisions" yesterday and thinking " what a genius!". To write lyrics of that depth and play drums so beautifully and technically on that song is pure genius. How else do you describe it?
@@johnhusereau4403 yes!! I’m convinced,though nobody says it. He was on the spectrum. Even when he speaks. He really listens. But more than usual people. I believe his preciseness on each hit and to hear him describe it, puts him on the spectrum.
My all-time hero. Not one of the best drummers of all time. THE best in my opinion.
There should be a "Wow" button here and not just a thumbs up or down. I miss Neil....I miss Rush.
Professor You Are Missed
He taught me so much about feel, pulse, and purpose for playing...serve the song. There is always a "Peart spice" to whatever song I play when I play, whether it be at church or a gig. You can't help but be transformed once you hear how he prepared and approached the drums. Every rehearsal I am analyzing and taking notes so when it's time to play, I have it all worked out and there is nothing left to chance. I can't thank him enough in how he influenced my in my drumming and my view of life. He was far more than a drummer, he left an impact that will be felt for generations
I have this DVD, it's great. I've made my tribute to Neil with a Bravado cover. Great compositional drummer, Neil had it all - the attention to detail is one of his many qualities I admire so much. RIP.
I still can't believe he's gone. What an inspiring person he was. He was a great drummer, but also a brilliant writer!
R.I.P... You’re still inspiring, Neil... Thank you...
1 ano sem o mestre! Saudade...😢❤
LOL I HAVE THAT DVD BUT STILL WATCHED HERE 😁🤙🤙🤙. R.I.P. NEIL PEART 😇. R.I.P. RUSH 😇😇😇
Rest In Peace Professor! Thank you for your gift you’ve left us with.
This just brings me so much comfort. Thank you so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR!
With heart felt admiration and sincerity!
Gary
Thank you! This was great!

Neil's birthday was three days after mine. ~ Virgo
Rushs music makes me feel wonderful. Each member each song each time i watch and listen. ❤ mr. Neil.
All I can say he was the best there is. I'm honored I got to see one of his last performances. Can't believe it's been a year!
I am fully aware of his greatness. When I see see him play things like this that seem to be below his station, it floors me. Makes me wonder, "what is he trying to accomplish? He knows this stuff like the back of his hand!". But then I remember, he himself says....
Shit, I forgot what he said. 😕
But I know it was inspirational and TRUE! DAMN IT 😏
Even the great Neil Peart had to practice. Yes, he was your favorite drummers favorite drummer. And yes, he was my favorite drummer, even though I'm nobody else's favorite drummer.
He only had one setting...perfection.
I first heard about Neil's death right after coming home from my first doctor's visit, that was the beginning of my own battle with thyroid cancer. It hit me hard. He has been such an inspiration and I still miss him every single day.
I had the privilege to meet Mr. Peart briefly back in 2010 he didn't have a lot to say and only spoke like a true gentleman if you had something interesting too discuss other than how great of a drummer he was R.I.P. to one of the greatest percussionist of all time
Neil Peart r.i.p.
I grew up with RUSH !!! Somebody had to be different !!! Neil Peart was that difference !!! I loved it. Rock On upstairs with the rest. Charlie Watts just joined !!! TurboJimbo
Love when geds base kicks in. So unmistakable. Man I miss them.
NEIL PEART era MONSTRO na bateria !!! E no maior e mais competente Rock Power Trio do mundo ! RUSH
My wife and I are riding our motorcycle to the west coast from Pennsylvania in August, and before Neil's passing I told her , IF !!! We were to run across him , we would be cool , talk motorcycle travel and whatnot, and at our departure shake hands and tell him "IT WAS A RUSH TO MEET YOU " 😄😄 R.I.P.. GHOSTRIDER!🍺🍺
Oh how much I learned from the professor.
I was in Maui Hi the week Neil passed away. I will back in Maui in Feb on vacation and in remembrance of the greatest progressive rock drummer ever.
Tears me that he is gone.
Great video. The only reason I learned to play drums. Neil Peart.
His signature move: the broken paradiddle.
Obi Wan Kenobi of the drums!!!!
very cool thoe its just a memory some memorys last for ever .
Their music is so...complicated and so many songs. How did they remember them all?
😥
💔💔💔
Seriously this is all I ever wanted to hear from Rush was them just jamming and improvising
It's crazy, I know, but Neil inspired me to not only become a drummer, but to experiment with rhythms and to really push myself, and it felt kind of personal when he died. When a friend told me he had died, I couldn't believe it.
"If I could wave my magic wand..."
He looked sun and wind burned from riding his motorcycle
Anyone know what venue this was?
RushON!
Over -ornamental with an illusive- sense of time!
He was such a talent! Rush as a whole was amazing and I grew up with their great work....but I have a question? No disrespect is intended, but why did Mr. Peart have a drum kit that encircled him if he never used it? In all the drumming solos and videos that I have watched he could done what he did with a kit half that size.
No the kit would revolve around and he would play electronic drums yes I've seen him use the whole circle of drums many of time.
Looks like Blossom Music Center
Can you verify? I was thinking it was white river amphitheatre, wa.
His DW kit’s get a bad reputation those floor toms sound incredible and rich. And maybe the snare doesn’t sound as good as his old faithful slingerland it’s still pretty decent.
That looks like SPAC
I know I’m a conspiracy minded guy, but I don’t think a lot of musicians pass away, I think they are ready to enjoy “retirement”... Not dead, just not in the spotlight anymore. Either way, a musician never dies. They live on for generation after generation, through the language of music.
*Scrunchy drummer face while watching*
The Macallan nose
2:09
240p...why bother
Shame the quality is awful 😞
No that is the beauty of it all the rawness.
I hate the snare drum. . .
The first 2 minutes are like pulling teeth. When you remove the Rush songs from around this drummer, the first 2 minutes are what's left. Awkward.
