    It was explained that this solo is a tribute to the different drumming styles and genres over time. Neil was always a student of the craft seeking inspiration and even lessons of certain styles of percussion and rhythms. This solo basically took you thru his own journey of what he studied and learned.

      Figure this one, prior to this trip and tour in Europe, Neil had just finished round one of chemo for the cancer that took his life a few years later. One thing you may not have noticed. Eventhough his cadence shifted enough times, Neil never broken a 4/4 timing base. Neil was one of a kind and it will be a long time before we see that kind of talent again.

He worked on that aspect for many years to get to the point where he could play anything in any time over the 3/4 waltz. Truly an inspiring and dedicated master of his craft!

He talks all about how (Very Important it is too him,to how his Drum's Sound!) There's a video all about how (DW Drum's) got there start on how to choose the wood they used,"too get the Greatest Sound,Response,and Resonance from as many types of different wood that they used.." And then they discovered trees that had been,Lying under water for hundreds of year's. And some were along the time,that they discovered trying this paticular and expensive wood.. They called on,"The Professor Behind the Drum Kit!!" And they feel in Love with The Knowledge of Neil Peart's Love for how to make a much better sounding set of Drum's, from the many different types of wood,"that had been preserved underneath water for many many year's! And this was how Neil got to Love playing ((The Drum Workshop Drum's!!)) Neil Peart has alway's been looking for the most unique and perfect sounding tone,to come out of any drum,he has ever played!!! There a Great Video all about it,but i can't remember the exact name of the video?? It can probably be found on a DW Drum Website!!! NEIL PEART DEFINITELY TOOK,"THE WAY HIS DRUMS SOUNDED,AS PERFECT AS HE COULD!!" THEY CALLED HIM THE PROFESSOR FOR AN OBVIOUS REASON!!!!

    Neil was drummer with Rush from 1974. In the early 90's, he had a couple of personal tragedies. His daughter was killed in a road accident and, less than a year later, his wife died of cancer. Neil basically stepped away from music until the Vapor Trails album in 1997. After that tour (check out YYZ from the Rush In Rio show from that tour), he became friends with a jazz drummer named Freddy Gruber and basically relearned how to play from scratch. A completely new technique to what he was used to and how he had played for the first 20-odd years of the band.

    FYI. Notice the reflective ankle band? It is a tribute and ode to the fact that he used to regularly get dropped off many miles from the gig location, and ride his road bike sometimes more than 50 miles to get to the show. He would arrive with said ankle reflector on his leg. Maybe he did it for this show as well.

    Great reaction video! You wanna know how good he was? There is no click track and there is no temp track playing behind him. Everything was being played by him live, until the very end big band part. What sounds like a click track was Neil using his left foot to constantly press (open and close) his hi-hat pedal and all of the "special effects" sounds were triggered by either foot pedals or drum triggers. A truly amazing thing to see close-up and live, which I had the honor to get to do, once.

Plus you'll hear some familiar runs, except they will be at a much higher tempo given he was only 23 at the time it was recorded. He was a master even back then, but still he continued to learn, as a master would.

      Peart was quite unhappy with his performance that night. He and the band had miscommunicated, and as a result he learned a different version of the song, so he and the band were literally not on the same page. His dissatisfaction was part of what motivated him to do a later tribute album titled "Burning for Buddy."

    My friend, first of all it's Neil P-EAR-T (pierT). Or call him "The Professor."
    Please keep in mind that this solo is in the midst of a 3 HOUR concert during their 30th Anniversary Tour. Neil is not a young man here either. He's about 53!!! Another aspect of this show is the best into ever!! Rush plays snippets off their first 6 albums before morphing into "The Spirit of Radio!"
    There will always be the ongoing argument "Neil Peart or John Bonham?" As an old school hippie chick and fan of both Rush (since 1975) and Led Zeppelin (since 1973), I say it's a tie!! Peart is pure finesse and technicality, and Bonham is pure power and rhythm. How can we say Mozart or Beethoven or Bach or Wagner? Just appreciate them all!!
    Oh, and then we have Ginger Baker, Carl Palmer, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Keith Moon, Bill Ward, Ian Paice, Bill Bruford, Alan White and others!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

    Every sound is triggered by his feet or hands. If you look you can see his feet hitting the horn sounds as well as some of his cymbals. There are to small round trigger pads on that set as well. Alex and Geddy hit trigger foot pedals as well throughout their entire show. Every sound they make. Neil has put his voice on trigger's just to get exactly what he wanted. Pure perfection. All three are the top of the game. You make a mistake , any mistake in that band it will stick right out. I've seen every tour since grace under pressure. Including moving pictures in it's entirety. These three kill it. Hands down the mist talent in one band.

    The Drum Master (circa 1991) 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."
    World Inspiration
    Neil's love of bicycling and travel is well known - it's almost the stuff of legend. While on tour with Rush he's been known to avoid the tour bus and bike to the next town and venue. When not on the road with Rush, he has taken his bike to the four corners of the globe, including Europe, mainland China, and Africa.
    Upon entering Peart's Toronto home, one is immediately struck by the fact that this man has seen and experienced locales most people can't imagine. "Here's a prized possession of mine," he says proudly, showing a raw-metal sculpture standing about ten inches high and resembling a tribal version of Rodin's "The Thinker." "It's from Africa. It weighs about twenty pounds, and I had to carry it a hundred miles on my bike. but it was worth it." Neil's passion for authentic African art is obvious. Unique drums, with their rich, hand-carved elegance, are displayed in his home with reverence. Original Chinese gongs decorate a few of the walls. The decor hints at the fact that a drummer lives in the house, shouts at the fact that a word traveler resides there. Peart's love of travel is obvious, but does actually going to other parts of the world inspire him musically? "First of all, I think travel is very important for any person," he insists. "It's affected me enormously, and I'm sure it filters down to my work. Africa is not an abstraction to me anymore - neither is China. They're places I've experienced, places where I've met people, made friends - and just broadened my thinking.
    "I've written lyrics that were directly influenced by my travels abroad. In a drumming sense, I've had some interesting experiences in different countries, experiences that may not directly affect the way I play drums, but that certainly inspire my feelings about drumming. And I've gotten very interested in hand drumming. Lately I've been working on playing the djembe."
    One way Peart's wanderlust has directly affected the sound of his drums is through sampling. "One of the small drums I brought from China is an antique that's too fragile to play. So I took it and a few of the other delicate instruments that I own and sampled them - along with many of my other instruments like my temple blocks and glockenspiel. I've built up a huge library of sounds, and they've made their way onto our albums in many of the different patterns I play."
    A particular pattern Neil has recorded that demonstrates the value of "world inspiration" comes from Rush's last album, Roll The Bones. "On that record we had a song called 'Heresy' that had a drum pattern I heard when I was in Togo. I was laying on a rooftop one night and heard two drummers playing in the next valley, and the rhythm stuck in my head. When we started working on the song I realized that beat would complement it well."

    One of Neil Peart's heroes was Bill Bruford, the drummer for Yes, and latter King Crimson. Another great 70s drummer was Karl Palmer of Emerson Lake & Palmer, try "Tank" or "The Barbarian", both have hreat drums.

      Given Neil's love for Buddy Rich, and knowing how humble he was, I would seriously doubt it. But it was Neil being disappointed with his performance at a Buddy Rich benefit concert that had him ask Steve Smith about how to improve, and Steve told him to study with Freddie Gruber in the 1990s. Though he changed his style, and took the lessons to heart, in the 2000s, he looked for another teacher, this time studying with Peter Erskine. But Neil loved Buddy, which was why he put together the "Burning for Buddy" sessions together, and he played many performances with the Buddy Rich Big Band (including a version of YYZ, with Jeff Berlin on bass!)

    • @brucebrown73

      I liked Peary, but I agree with you. However, Buddy Rich did like and respect Carl Palmer. I believe he had more finesse than Neil by far.

    You just witnessed a Master Class in percussion. There's a reason that after Buddy Rich died, jazz musicians wanted to play a memorial concert and asked Neil Peart to play the drums. RIP Neil (the Professor) Peart.

    He not only played drums and the MalletKat 7KS (the instrument that looked like a xylophone), he also used drum triggers and pedal triggers. These were what made the music leading up to the video playing behind him. It was insane what he did.

      His final kit was made from wood that was like 1500 years old that was found in a river in Romania. There is a documentary on RUclips about ITV from DW drums. Goes through all the sonic differences they can create based on how the wood is cut. It’s quite fascinating even if you are not into drums.

    Most of the triggers for the non drum sounding stuff, he was working with his left foot the whole time, with the exception of when he was doing double bass.
