First thing. His name is pEARt not Pert. Second. He wasn't just one of the best drummers. He was the best damn drummer that ever walked this planet, period. I followed this genius since 1974 when I was 13 years old. He alone changed my whole perspective not only playing drums, but, music as a whole. There will NEVER be another talent that can even come close to the level that this man rose to. He left a big hole in my and many others hearts when he died. This man was and is the goatiest of all G.O.A.Ts.
RIP brother
The " Professor" Mr. Neil Elwood pEARt.
I completely agree! I just discovered Rush a few months ago. Some of the drummers I have liked like Carl Palmer, etc., are great! But not in the same league as Peart. Neil was the GOAT ❤
"The world is 4.5 billion years old, and you existed at the same time as Neil Peart. You are truly blessed."
If you want to hear how the pure poetry of Neil's lyrics came together with Geddy's vocals and their instrumental compositions to tell a compelling story, be sure to check out 2112, or Cygnus X-1, Books 1 and 2.
Neil Peart R.I.P 🥁 🥁 🐐 🐐
The chirping sound is an ostinato pattern he is playing with his left foot. What is crazy is that he playing that fairly steadily while playing the rest of the drums with his right foot and hands at a different tempo! Listen back to it and try to tap you left foot to the chirping sound and then imagine how hard it would be to play the rest of it simultaneously. Definitely some mad skills!
Not only a different tempo but a different time signature. His feet are in 3 and his hands are in 4. Ridiculous.
Neil calls that "The Waltz", a brilliant piece of what drummers call "independence". In an interview, he said he started working on it during the tour, and had it perfected to where he could use it on stage during the tour. Fun fact: the tours were 14 ***years*** apart.
"Fairly steadily"? Why don't you try measuring Neil's timing before you level such an insult?
@@wizardsuth Neil is not an actual robot. His timing/tempo of the Ostinato varies quite a bit during this section, and does so nearly every time he performs it. There's also nothing wrong with that. It's nearly impossible to keep it completely consistent.
Not just the left, but the right kick as well. Boom, chirp, chirp, Boom, chirp, chirp, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, all the way through that section
Neil never claimed to be a drummer, but a percussionist, and we all miss him very much!❤ There are many jaw dropping performances from Neil, Geddy and Alex!
Neil was a drummer. Having an electronic mallet thingy on you kit and playing 2 or 3 notes on tubular bells doesn't make you a percussionist. Never seen a single interview where he claimed to be a percussionist.
That's why Neil is called the professor, he's your favorite drummers favorite drummer 😉
The "chirping" was triggered by his left foot. It may not be the highlight of the solo, but trying to keep that waltz beat while your arms are doing something else is soooooooo hard.
As people have said before "He's your favorite drummers, favorite drummer"
Take care ✌
Well said!
Yep. Playing 3/4 with his feet and several different time signatures with his hands (one being Subdivisions in 7/8). It was always his goal to become limb independent.
The piece that inspired this section is "The Drum Also Waltzes" by Max Roach. Neil took the idea a bit further, but to be fair to Max, Max did it with a shuffle feel, with a dotted eigth rest thrown into the foot pattern, while Neil "just" does a constant "1 2 3" ostinato.
Man, drummers just love to show off.
🤠🤘
I cannot even fathom doing that.
@@barrydimmock5771 He practiced it for over a decade before it became natural to do anything, any time sig, over the feet ostinato, so don't feel bad.
This performance was 20 years into the same pattern, so yeah, he really really killed it.
Neil Peart was a drummer of drummers. A one man Drumline. He has been one of my most favorite drummers of all time. He was one the drummers who got me interested in the drums and I picked up the sticks for the first time when I was a 9 year old girl back in the 1970s. Now I'm a 54 year old mom of a special needs son and I play the percussions in my church choir today. Thank you Neil for being one of my inspirations. RIP Neil.
Keep in mind... he's doing this about 2 hours into a 3 hour show. Oh... and he's doing the show after arriving by way of a 5 - 8 hour motorcycle ride. :)
That's awesome. I know the feeling. We play 3-4 hours and they're exhausting.
@@ChasingAnthems watch working man live in cleveland time machine tour encore at end of 3 hour show 3 born in 52 and 53
And on that day he was feeling off: heavy cold at least. But soldiered on as knew this was video recording day for the tour.
My favorite story about the Professor was the quote attributed to him, when asked what it was like playing drums for Rush, Peart is quoted as saying, "It's a lot like doing trigonometry while running a marathon at the same time."
If you are looking to do more Rush, I would recommend Xanadu from the “exit stage left” live album. One of their most complex arrangements and they play it even better than their studio version!
Xanadu is simply amazing. Three guys that sound like an entire symphony. If you check out their video for Xanadu you will see Geddy sing, play bass, play keyboards, and play 6-string guitar in one song. Most bands putting out stuff now can barely do one of those things. Of course, Alex and Neil are also crushing it!
And the video is almost perfectly edited. You get to see every drum roll, guitar neck switch. The only issue is that it doesn't show Geddy on the guitar neck until the last shot, which for most people miss because 4 new video screen pop up over the image.
I second that! If I could third and fourth that, too, I would!
Good suggestion 👌🏼
Just do it…you will be Amazed!
He is keeping that underneath osinato with his feet while playing poly rhythms against it. Ridiculously difficult
He was a very bright man who decided to play drums for a carrer..He became known as the "professor" for very good reason..
It’s vastly understated that this is not a “stand-alone” piece of drumming. This is a slice from what is likely a 3 hour Rush show. Neil was a world class athlete with the most amazing talent flowing from his heart to his famed and feet.
If I can, his last name is pronounced Peer-t, not Puhrt. Having said that, I loved your analysis and perspective here, which had great insight. He was a master drummer who experienced so much heartbreak and tragedy, and who wrote eloquently of fidning himself again. He is missed.
Hard to argue that, aside from his indisputably imaginative, technically precise, melodically infused percussion artistry, Neil is to rock/prog drumming what Buddy Rich was to swing/jazz drumming: Two men who pushed the boundaries of what the drum kit can produce as an instrument every bit the equal of those instruments we normally perceive as being the ones which "lead" the musical experience of the listener, i.e., guitar, keyboards. Neil's extraordinary artistic, technical and intellectual approach to his craft set a standard that will influence percussionists for years into the future. Indeed, Neil was a drummer nonpareil.
I love Rush, they're my favorite band... Sadly however I was born in 98' and I didn't learn about them until 2016, when I read a book and it made a reference to 2112, I had to listen to it and after I did I was like "woah, wtf... Best band"
Which was real hard for me cause that was in 2016, 2 years after there last tour :(
Ok….you should check out Xanadu…. Exit Stage Left version…..or La Villa Strangiato…..either way…..your welcome.
If you check out Exit stage left, the drum solo is on YYZ, well worth listening to.
At the end of his solo, Neil was paying tribute to his mentor and friend, Buddy Rich, famous drummer from that era......
They did not know each other, they never met. From an interview with Neil.
"I have to admit I hadn't been a fanatic about Buddy at all. That's perhaps another irony. I never got the chance to meet him, and what's even odder is that I never saw him play live. As a teenager I saw him play on television several times, but I wasn't a fanatic. I was an admirer - I guess that would be the right term. I always knew he was the best and I respected that. Unfortunately at that time my tastes seemed to lay elsewhere."
I have listened to a thousand drummers and percussionists during my humble 59 years. Some very talented, some flashy, some fast, some unique .. but NOBODY has ever come close to holding a candle to Neil Peart. I have seen him in concert basically engineering a space shuttle while building a swiss watch on horseback. In some of the documentary pieces he has described training and learning to keep multiple rhythms in separate time signatures simultaneously, independently at the same time. I have never in my life ever seen another percussionist do THAT, and with perfect precision. Absolutely amazing human being. I so miss him. He was a treasure to the world. R.I.P. Neil !!!
Just pick a song you haven't heard yet and you won't be disappointed at all ❗✌️🤘. All of their songs are great❗🤘 RIP NEIL WE MISS YOU SO MUCH ❗✌️🤟🤘🙏
100%
He once said that he was never very talented but he was tenacious
The quintessential Peart in that solo right there. Great choice to review. I caught the Power Windows tour in '86 when Rush was on top of the rock world & Neil never rested, He kep refining his game & only got better, as demonstrated here. There's a reason every drummer in the world called him "The Professor." He was an autodidact at that!
The "chirping" is a tambourine on a pedal just left of his high-hat. He is maintaining 2 beats of 3 with the left foot, the third beat with his right, while playing in 4/4 and 7/8 with his hands.
I started playing drums in eighth grade and a year later was lucky enough to see Rush live on the signals tour in 1982. My life changed forever that night. Rest in peace Neil, and thank you for inspiring me then and now.
It’s always refreshing to hear an expert give a review. Enjoyed hearing your perspectives and insights. Xanadu from their Exit Stage Left tour (1981) reveals another facet to their music. There’s a Remastered video with very good sound quality and good visuals. I think you would enjoy it.
Neil didn't feel this was one of his best performances as he was dealing with having the flu. You mentioned Dream Theatre, they amongst many other bands were greatly influenced by Rush. I don't believe he was in any marching bands in school. He started playing drums at 13 and by 16 he was playing in a serious rock band. He joined Rush in the early 70's as their original drummer had health issues and wasn't able to tour. Neil was also the main lyrist for the band.

Main Monkey Business has been my go to instrumental for awhile now.
Nice summation.😎🤘
Second snare work his right hand is in a traditional grip. Little nuisances in his playing is spectacular. The chirp almost tambourine sound is on his foot.
I've seen it mentioned this is couple hrs into the show and fighting the flu..But lets not forget he was also in his 60s here and think the brain cancer had been diagnosed about this time too...got to see them 7 times and still sad we didn't get more RIP Professor you touched so many lives in ways you'll never know
Had the pleasure of seeing Rush 53 times including the final show at the Forum in LA .... Blessed indeed
The man the legend 🙌
The Professor may be gone and in Heaven now but he left his legacy for us to enjoy. RIP Neil Peart.
I seen Rush 9 Times
For All the Worlds a Stage Me and my Best Friend walked through a Door We were right above him on Working Man
It was Crazy
Neil was a prolific author. I’d recommend you read his books. Also filled the role as lyricist.
What else can you say about neil peart, he was just phenomenal! Rush as a whole is a great band. I think neil tried tirelessly to be the best drummer he could be and it really shows.
Neil continued taking lessons until the end.
Not only has he done the rolls like you said but when you paused it and it went back into the solo, he switched from match grip to traditional grip. he is just amazing.
If you are looking for more drum-related stuff, look at the Sully Erna/Shannon Larkin Godsmack Drum Battle. Sully is the lead singer and it's scary how good he is behind the kit
There is a video on RUclips showing his drum tech setting up that gold kit...takes him 2 1/2 hours...if he is not in a hurry, said he had done it in 90 minutes once and wasn't happy
Neil is/was every other drummers Hero
Peart sounds like ear with a P on front and a T on the end and hes not only the drummer, he wrote the lyrics to almost every rush song.
He played and recorded all those horns himself and then triggered those sounds with those extra foot pedals you saw by his left foot. If you watch you can see his left knee going up and down in time with all those extra sounds.
Not just a pedal. He uses several electronic drums on his right side. Also electric cymbals and a black trigger pad adjacent to the snare.
Neal Peart and Roy Clark had one thing in common. The blur factor! Normal video cameras couldn't keep up with them! You need a high speed camera like the one's they use to film bullets!
Q: How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb??
A: 10. One to change the lightbulb, and 9 to argue about how Neil could have done it better! ;p
When I first heard Rush back in about 1980, I thought the drummer had 4 arms and 4 feet! That led me to ask my Dad, is the drummer a human spider? But of course this was before I could see what was actually happening in their live performances!
Some fun facts about Neil Peart ( pronounced PEARt ) . That drum kit was laminated from trees that were preserved by silt and cold river water for 1500 years in Romania. Listen to this solo after he moves to the other part of the kit. As he is playing the toms, he is carrying different tempos with his hands and feet. The horns at the end are all him triggering pedals.
😳amazing!
Yeah, he had a few kits over the years.. for an in-depth tour of one such kit, check out this vid about his "Time Machine" kit... ruclips.net/video/g2R7vf3uZVA/видео.html
Check out his drum kit from DW, made from like 1800 year wood found on a river bottom in Europe here on youtube, " master of resonance "
|Did you notice throught that one section how is feet are in one time signature and tempo and his hands are in a completely different one?
The 3/4 section (the 'chirping sound' section) is based on a drum solo by Max Roach called 'The Drum Also Waltzes'.
THE QUINTESSENTIAL ROCK DRUMMER! 👍
A LEGEND
Try playing four different ways at the same time. Most of us can't even do two.
R.I.P. professor, one of the best drummers, lyricist and human beings of all time! Good Canadian boy! 🇨🇦
He's starting off on the electronic side of the drum kit. Then it rotates to the acoustic set.
Remember, Neil was the songwriter for most of their material. His first masterpiece was "Tom Sawyer"
Neil strictly wrote the lyrics. Geddy and Alex wrote the music.
First was Tom Sawyer? There was a lot before that. Also, Pye Dubois co-wrote the lyrics for Tom Sawyer, so it's one of the few song he didn't write alone or at all.
Couple notes:
1. It's "peert", not "pert". Common mistake. :)
2. The "chirp" is tambourine on one of his left foot pedals.
3. The keyboard is a Mallet Kat midi marimba which can be programmed to trigger many different effects.
4. The most mind-blowing parts of this solo are where his hands are playing 4-beat and other polyrhythms over his feet playing 3-beat rhythms, notably the "boom-chick-chick" waltz pattern with the tambourine. This shows a level of upper-and-lower- body independence that many drummers never truly achieve.
5. Many of the toms in his kit are actually shells custom-built around Roland (I think) electronic triggers.
6. This solo has evolved over decades, and there are several iterations on RUclips should you be interested in checking them out. O Baterista, The Rhythm Method, and many others.
There's a reason he's referred to as "The Professor" on the drum kit
Incredible!!! Prepetition!!
glad i turned on my pc and seen this Cheers
Educated feet! Plays horns, snare, claptrap, tambourine and other effects with his feet, so as to free up his hands to do other things. This is late in his career and compared to when he was younger this would considered slow! lol The thousands of shows and solos afflicted him with tendonitis, which gave him pain when striking the drums. If you notice on any of his performances he never breathes hard! Neil prided himself in getting in top shape both musical wise and physically. He was an athlete, he loved to ride on his bicycle to the different concert venues instead of taking a tour bus and later in his career would ride a motorcycle. He also toured different countries like Africa on his bicycle. Here is a little story from 1994 from Modern Drummer magazine:
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."
A comment about Dream Theater - we really do know who came first. When Portnoy co-founded DT in 1985, YYZ had been out for 4 years, and the big drum kit even longer. Neil's kit isn't like Dream Theater; DT drummers are like Neil.
That's where the line gets blurry because Tull had that going on too after Clive Bunker left. Check out Barriemore Barlow's solo on "Conundrum" from the live album "Breaking Out". Granted, that was recorded in '77, I believe, but Barrie wasn't copying Neil. More likely Neil was influenced by him.
Neil Peart is your favorite drummer's, favorite drummer.
Only drummer or musician for that matter to go to each concert venues on his motorcycle! GO NEAL RIP!
At no time does it look like he is working hard. Just effortless motion.
Professor says it all
I always thought he looked tired during this solo. If you want to see one where he's fully energized, try the one he did in Rio: ruclips.net/video/vRC4RAX4peE/видео.html
I get frustrated that the RIR solo never gets any reaction vids. I agree he is much more energized during that one.
The Professor!!!
Yes!
He is your favorite drummer’s favorite drummer, nuff said
You must listen to YYZ. Do it. You won’t be disappointed!
Catch em hot ( all the world's a stage) drum solo it might be in the list but I think it's on lakeside park!
just watch anything the professor pert is playing
I agree with the recommendation for "Xanadu" (either the live version from "Exit Stage Left" or from the studio album, "A Farewell to Kings"), and add to it the instrumental masterwork (with some amazing guitar from Alex Lifeson) "La Villa Strangiato" from the "Hemispheres" album. Those two albums, and the next two ("Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures") comprise one of the greatest outpourings of creative, compositional and technical genius that I have ever heard, and maybe as there ever was. The only effort that comes close for me was Steely Dan's triumvirate - "Royal Scam," "Aja" and "Gaucho" from around the same time. You should look in on those, too.
If you like this you need to watch him do "cotton tail" with the Buddy Rich band. The professor can play drums.
Check out "Working Man" from the "All the World's a Stage" album and skip to 9:17 for another solo from The Professor.
Here’s a list of songs by RUSH that you should check it:
Xanadu from exit stage left live 1981
YYZ live in Rio
Working man live in Cleveland
La Villa Strangiato live in Cleveland
As good as he is at the 30-year mark, I think he was even better after this tour. He developed that ¾ ostinato into a cool Latin feel that he would solo over.
So many of us were impressed by his technique. After decades of listening, what still slays me is how musically he plays. There’s always a groove to it. White Canadian Funk, I suppose.
Simply put Neil is the master of percussion. He is also a great lyricist.
On top of EVERYTHING HE'S DOING on that kit, don't forget HOW LONG he ends up doing it. His stamina is nuts! And then, oh by the way, he still has to play all of the other songs in the set. Crazy.
Neal also wrote most the lyrics for their songs.
best ever for sure, nobody is as good as him. not even close
If you’re going down the rabbit hole of Rush I’d recommend starting with the song that first made them famous “2112”.
It’s an epic sci-fi song that is an allegory for the timeless struggle of the individual vs. the collective. The song was written by Neal Peart and attributed the objectivist philosopher Ayne Rand.
You will love this song.

If u want more subscribers, try not to talk over the performances
Tell RUclips not to block reaction videos.
Now you need to check out Carl Palmer's(from Emerson Lake and Palmer) drum solo. The song is Karn Evil 9...live 1974 Cal Jam performance. Palmer was the 1st prog rock drum God. Simply outstanding! He and Peart are on another level. Palmer also had the 1st huge, revolving drum kit!
Was that the one where Greg Lake broke a guitar string while changing instruments, and Carl had to vamp while he strung and tuned the new one?
@@DeaconBlues117 truly don't know.
Neil was the best! Noone like him again.
You want to see unique…check out Shakey Graves Live Audiotree session - Roll The Bones…one man band…plays 3 instruments at the same time, lots of transitions and he plays the guitar differently than anyone.
its on the left foot pedal for the tambourine
Neil Peart R.I.P. I was lucky enough to see Rush live when they played Dublin on their Time Machine Tour, one of the best gigs I've ever been to
Check out Terry Bozzio or Vince Colaiuta....
The Black Page by ZPZ…such a great performance.
For more good drumming, check out the drum war from Godsmacks drummer and lead singer
The keyboard is called a MIDI KAT, and we use it for pitched percussion like mirimba and glockenspiel.
If you want to see what life was like before MIDI, I invite you check out Neil's kit when he was dragging (well, his tech Larry was) around real concert bells and tympani, circa '81.
Should react to Rush - Best intro ever.
Always remember that Neil was also the primary lyricist for the band. His writing is incredible and many of his lyrics are more powerful today than when they were written. Taking time to just read his lyrics without the music is time well spent. I can honestly say that his writing influenced the way I thought about things when I was young. Fan since 1974.
This is his R30 kit...1/2 acoustic 1/2 electric...I saw Neil play this kit with RUSH @ Red Rocks. Neil is one of the best drummers I've ever seen, and I've seen some of the best!
Check out this video and it will answer some of your questions! ...... ruclips.net/video/KaymH2rbPwU/видео.html
BTW... His name is Peart not Pert....
Not necessarily marching bands, but he's had many top teachers, plus as we can see Buddy Rich was a big inspiration for him. Dude, you MUST check out the album 2112, it's like nothing you've ever heard before. And really any of the Rush stuff, Moving Pictures, Tom Sawyer, Free Will. Pretty much anything by them, a great band.
If you notice he switches how he holds the left stick at times, between a more traditional jazz method, like how most drummers are taught in band and orchestra for example, and the more hammering type grips that you see a lot with rock drummer. Neil is a percussionist, beyond just a drummer. He did lots of showcase performances apart from Rush where he performed with other noted percussionists, like Terry Bozzio (who used to perform with Frank Zappa, had an 80's band called Missing Persons, and toured with Jeff Beck). They had a sort of mutual admiration thing going on. Bozzio has quite a kit as well, which I believe is even larger than Neil's. It's 200 pieces, I think.
Frankfurt
"Xylophone" is a MidiKat mallet controller (or some variation thereof, he's gone through a couple versions, as has the company, but google that MidiKat and you'll find them). As you say, programmable xylophone layout instrument that he's replaced his (formerly) MUCH larger kit (full of orchestral and other percussions items) with to switch programs as needed for different sounds, thus reducing space and surely making the roadies happier over time... at one time it was ALL analog and massive until the early 80s when he began with simmons pads and then the MidiKat and continued from there.
The horns section he was triggering with pad hits, up until he triggered the final jazz loop to play with, you have to watch each hand carefully to see when he hits the triggers (keeping in mind with the digital kit he can double-up, thus triggering a horn blast and tom hit simultaneously if needed, I don't know that he actually does that, but it's easily done).
His last kits actually had hybrid drums, that were standard toms, retrofitted with digital triggers inside that could be "active or off" as needed while not interfering with the drums when only a normal kit was needed, thus again saving space. As others have indicated, he has dedicated left-foot trigger pedal that he used for the "chirping" and occassionally for other triggered sounds throughout the solo. With the switch to digital, he actually has an assistant off-stage making sure to switch programs in places where Neil can't "trigger switch" them himself (he used to have an emergency tiny little pad hidden in the toms (painted different colors a few times over the years), that he could hit to default the electronics to playable basics, I think that was before the tech was handling the changes for him as needed. He has actually given away many of his kits over the years in various drum magazine reader contests/giveaways, including this one I believe (not with all the electronics gear, but the fundamental drum kits). There are a select few VERY lucky kit owners in the world with genuine Neil Peart touring kits in their homes).
And yes, seeing it live, is incredible, saw every show I could from the 90s through the very last tour, only missed one in those decades, (loved them much earlier, but going to concerts wasn't a thing for this country boy until my dad bought me my first tix for 17th birthday, which was incredible (2nd row from the stage right). RIP Neil!
"Masters of Resonance"..Has an amazing documentary about how that kit was custom designed, and crafted exclusively for Neil..Geddy Lee once said, "we wanted to be the world's smallest symphony orchestra." The documentary is best enjoyed at your leisure.✌️

Nikko McBrain has a killer set!
who are superb at their craft. As far as Tull is concerned I recommend that you listen to the studio albums before you check out the live performance videos (starting with the Isle of Wight and Tanglewood,Mass. 1970. through all of the others 1976-1980 are all great. Hope to see your reactions in the near
