He was known as ... Your favorite drummers, favorite drummer... RIP Neil.
Imagine being a 15-year-old school drummer in 1982 and seeing your first concert and it’s this guy. He is without a doubt in my eyes, the greatest drummer who ever lived. He once said, performing a Rush show is like running a marathon while doing advanced calculus equations in your head at the same time.

@@jimtatro6550 it is a bit demoralizing as a starting drummer. And sadly I don’t know if there enough practice hours available to even come close with the sheet music. Fun to try though 😁

I was that kid who saw RUSH for the first time on the Hemisphere Tour at 15 years old
I saw Rush dozens of times and always got side stage seats to watch Neil drum.
I love it. Every single Rush reactor says they've never gotten a rude comment. Just another thing that makes the band so cool!
I highly recommend you checkout the documentary Beyond the lighted stage it will give you a great insight into the band I think you will really enjoy it
Rush Working Man Live In Cleveland is a must watch.

Another great CANADIAN NEIL!!! I CAN THINK OF 2 RIGHT OFF THE BAT!! I love watching these reactions..just goes to show a Great musician masters of their instruments. Neil shows the drums magnificently!!
Neil always gave you MUSIC not just drum banging. He took you on a Historical Journey of drumming. From tribal, to marching band, to military style, to various rock to jazz and swing. His final tribute to the greats there at the end that were his influences. Great reaction. keep it going. Welcome to the Rush Rabbit hole. sooooo many great songs to review.
Glad your back! Yeah!😁
Neil before he passed, god rest his soul, was the best drummer in the world. You watched greatness Angel, awesome, thankyou.
Neil has always been considered the G.O.A.T of drummers
Thank you for this reaction. I appreciate it. I grew up listening to Rush since the early 80s. I love seeing new people come around to the Rush journey. Unfortunately, my Rush journey is over, but I can relive it through beautiful people like you. I know that people may mock you for being Canadian and not knowing the great Canadian gods of music, but I completely understand. When I was growing up, the radio didn't want to play Rush because they weren't commercial enough. I was insulted every single time. I saw how Rush made their music more commercial to the point to where they lost some of the their fans in the 90s, but then they came back to being the band that we all grew up loving. I welcome you on this journey and I can't wait to see what you react to next. I hope you get to see La Villa Strangiato (the official video) and Xanadu (live Exit Stage Left). Then I believe you will truly understand the heart of the Rush fan.
Best percussionist to have ever lived...hands down. Also the greatest lyricist.
LOL! Thankfully, I don't have to imagine being there as I am old and saw them on three occasions in '80's, '90's and 2004. Yes, it is so much more dynamic and attractive live, just like all great musicians. You may know that these guys were big sticklers about putting on the best show possible in every performance. Per interviews, Neil had shows where he felt he didn't perform as well as he could have and his comment was that this is one benefit of touring relentlessly. If you have a bad show, you have another chance tomorrow. That being said, I have yet to meet anybody who says they saw them and they were less than awed.
Hey you listened to my suggestion!!! Oh and that keyboard thing is an electric xylophone...👍

Actually, it's called a DrumKat. Aside from its own percussion sounds(including the xylophone), it can be used to trigger samples of other instruments.

53 times ?!!! holy sh*t ! Starting with which tour ?
You can rest assured that the best drummer ever came from your home country!😊
Near the end, When Neil flipped one of his sticks in the air, Niel caught the drum stick the wrong way (With the but end out), But he immediately noticed this, flipped it around with his fingers on one hand and, even after this, he left himself with plenty of time for that next “hit” on the symbols. This is why he is called the professor. He didn’t even panic. He just knew how to get the job done and he did it. Effortlessly. As A side note I am quite sure he triggered the horn sounds with his bass drum hits. Listen, there was no horn “blasts” without a bass drum hit. The ending sequences may have been a section of big band that he triggered on a one-time basis. As an amateur drummer, I want to say Niel “WORKED”. He worked on every drum hit he did. He said this in a few interviews, that he always wanted to be the best he could be. Even in the R40 tour (40 years since the band was established), Neil said “time” was an enemy. But an enemy he would not let get the best of him. His body was going through the natural phase of aging. But that just made Niel work harder. We should all strive to be like Niel. Whether it’s drumming or processing packages at a package processing plant. Do the best you can be and strive for more. That’s what made Niel the professor of his craft. I can’t tell you how the passing of Niel has affected me, But I think, if Niel and I had this conversation (about sadness in his passing), he would say “Just relax and do what you do your best”. And if asked about my own drumming abilities, Niel might say “Always strive to better at what you do. Don’t get lazy and say you have already reached your best. Because your best has yet to come. No Matter what your age.” Niel knew this. He is a model for us all. Look at his writings of Rush’s songs. mostly just “Happy”, and sometimes with a message. There was a lot of analysis of Niel’s lyrics for “The Trees”, about people in society being suppressed and the need to rise above. When asked, Niel replied, and I am paraphrasing here… “It was just a fantasy about Oaks and Maples in the forest”. And my reaction to this was, YES! Thank you Niel. That’s all it was, and I only took it as such. A fun song about some factitious cartoonish characters, about the “Oaks” and the “Maples” in the forest. Just plain good fun. God Rest Niel Peart.
Pronounced like ear...Neil Peart. More simply, "The Professor."🙏RIP

Neil said that playing drums for Rush was like running a marathon while doing Calculus in his head.
Neil once equated performing in a Rush concert to running a marathon while doing math equations in his head. If you'd like to see how they started this show, I'd like to recommend the clip "Best Intro Ever." Give Fernando a hug for me, and have a beautiful day! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐

Thanks, I will check it out, and thanks for the Fernando hug! Have a beautiful day, too xo
My opinion is Neil was the best drummer ever. I was glad you reacted to this one. You get to see how good he was. Looking forward to Tom Sawyer Angel.
Hi Angel, first time checking out your videos And I have to say Watching this video always makes me smile. In case anybody wasn't aware The ending of Neal's solo was him playing with Buddy Rich's band, check that video out and you will see what I mean. I was honored to meet Neal and Buddy in my life and both were my idol's

Buddy Rich is the best drummer of all time in my book. Neil is #2. But I say that with all respect for them both.
Another great reaction...I won't post my long list of suggestions of "fire" songs to do from your last reaction as you took a screen shot 😁. But keep the momentum going one by one and discover the great musical artistry of Rush...solid lead guitar by Alex (most underrated), best bass riffs by Geddy (and vocals), and of course the Professor (Neil) as the best "percussive engineer" and lyricist. Enjoy your journey!!! Thank me later...😉
Q: 🤔 "What do 🎛️ Drum Machines want to be when they grow up?" A: 🥁 Neil Peart!!! 🥰🐰
Glad you mentioned the stamina needed. This drum solo was in the middle of a 3 hour show. The greatest rock drummer/percussionist/lyricist/poet.....ever. As always, RIP to "The Professor".
Fernando looks like a cool cat. Nice reaction.

Neil does many different solo for many years. Check the Buddy Rich tribute. Older version.😮😮😮😊
Peart is pronounced like pier or peer with a "t" on the end of it. ps you don't have to imagine being there, a Neil drum solo was a staple and hilight of every Rush concert, seen many even better than this one. 😊
Peart, like ear,, Peart!
Beautiful drum kit. Well, you can afford to have the hardware gold-plated, it helps.
Hi!!! Please also react to his drum solo on YYZ live performance!!!!! RIP NEIL
Other ventures Geddy: My Favorite Headache album. Alex: Victor album, Envy Of None group/album. Neil🤭

You need to also discover the other monumental Canadian musical genius, Mr Devin Townsend. Check him out, react to him, thank me later.
R I p mr..drummer
It is pronounced P + 👂+ T Just so you know for the future :)
Neil didn't feel that this was one of his best performances as he was dealing with having the flu at the time. 🤯 Another one I think you would enjoy is Malignant Narcissism from the Snakes and Arrows tour since you are into bass and drums. Fernando is adorable ❤ I am getting eyeballed by our foster car Kia for her morning treats LOL Cheers

Thanks, Fernando came from the SPCA, and he is the sweetest cat..he came with some eye issues (that do not affect his vision)..he has drops that he needs whenever his eyes get runny but he is otherwise perfectly healthy. I went in to look at another cat from their site, and my son was with me, and he went straight to Fernando. The cat I went to see completely ignored me, meanwhile, Fernando was being super affectionate to my son, so that is how he ended up here!

@@AngelDReacts Yes, they pick you. LOL That has been my experience.
I'll help you with the pronunciation, it's not Pert or purt, it's P ear (what you use to hear with), t. This is not just a drum solo, it's very technical, musical. I hope to see more Rush and add Kansas, Boston, Styx, and Toto. Thank you.

I agree. All good choices
I’m Canadian, 53 and when I was younger, the only Rush I listened to was whatever was on the radio. The only insight I heard was Rolling Stone magazine dumping on how they were terrible. I believe they even had a ranking where Neil was the worst lyricist of all time. Young me never gave them much of a listen mostly because I didn’t like Geddy’s voice. Fast forward to about 2010 and me lady bought me a DVD, Live in Rio and watching that was an eye opener as well as an eargasm with La Villa Strangiato which is now my favourite song. Anyway, it’s totally possible to go from not listening to them most of your life to favourite band later in life. I’m just sorry I missed all that time.
Peart. Two ways to think about properly pronouncing Neil's name. Pier, like at an ocean or lake. Then put a had T at the end. Or, P+ear+hard T. *EDIT* BTW... his solos were not improvised.
Can you hear the drums Fernando - - - - - - - ???

Correction. He was the best. Not one of.
No, you're not pronouncing it right. Not like 'Pert'. But like 'ear' with P and t at the beginning and end.
Nope. It's pronounced Peert. Rhymes with hear.

Neil Peart was a percussionist, not a drummer.
Glad you checked this out !!! I saw Rush about 19 times over the years. Started when I was 12, now I'm 58. I will never see such a drummer like Neil again in my lifetime. Anyways... cheers from the Calgary area 🤘🤘🤘
