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!

A dream is only over if you give it up-or if it comes true.” - Neil Peart.

What is more amazing is Neil Peart wrote a lot of the lyrics for Rush songs. Not Taylor swift simple msgs but deep thoughtful stories like “Losing it” His life was filled with tragedy like the proverbial suffering artist. Rush made my high school years tolerable then inspired me immensely.

Neil was incredible! Probably my single favorite drummer of all time. Another one to check out in the genre would be Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. His solos are also extremely impressive!

The Professor, greatest drummer OF ALL TIME! R.I.P. NEIL PEART!

I first saw him back in the 70s and realized he was one of the best rock drummers there were. As the years passed, he kept getting better and better, and I realized during one concert when I was watching him that he had become a literal living legend. That was amazing that we'd be able to see a living legend on stage performing. Sadly, he's just a legend now. I feel so fortunate to have watched him for so long.

This is pure poetry..to see a gifted human being being able to make rhythm like this is a priviledge...by the way,since you guys are into Tip Top drumming talent you might wanna check out the Buddy Rich Impossible Drum Solo(Aug 20th,1982)...Ty guys for this one

He also wrote many of the lyrics for Rush as well as being the drummer. Neil Peart = GOAT. I saw Rush 3 times and he did this solo every show. Well worth the ticket price for just the drum solo,

I took my son to see Rush when he was about 10 years old. Watching Neil play that solo is one of the best mother son moments in life!!!!

Let's not forget those amazing lyrics. Sometimes the power of his performance overshadows thirty some odd (?) albums worth of genius level poetry.

I was fortunate enough to see RUSH twice and Neil Peart, the GOAT drummer AND amazing lyricist! RIP Neil.

I saw him in concert 4 times. I lived for his solos. Mass of lighters going. Was awesome.

Virtuosos look at Neil Peart and say, damn that guy’s a fuckin virtuoso. A giant among men, god love him where ever he is

As soon as the guy in the back said Tommy Lee, I pretty much fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard! That's like comparing basic math to calculus, one is easy and the other is difficult! Tommy was good for Motley Crue, but he's not even in the top 10! The top three drummers are:Neil Peart of Rush, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Ginger Baker of Cream! Tommy Lee don't make me laugh!

BONHAM, different style of Drummer but he is considered by many to be the best drummer ever. He was the drummer for Led Zeppelin.

I think you guys are misinterpreting the ending sequence. Neal was greatly influenced buy jazz as a player before he joined Rush. He would continue to get training from other great players. I think he is paying tribute to traditional Chicago jazz bands from the 20’s and 30’s who were almost exclusively black artists and who influenced his drumming. During his years with Rush, he would play with Jazz musicians during his time away from touring.

The man himself once said when asked how he became so good, he said he had no talent....but he was relentless! which is clearly evident! Miss you Neil! RIP

Hands down, it's The Professor, Neil Peart. He's your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.

As a drummer myself ... NOT Tommy Lee

Rush has all instrumental song (YYZ) off of Moving Pictures Album same one as Tom Sawyer. Whole jam is insane. Great drum solo from the Professor. Saw them twice in concert, at the end of the drum song he hits the drums, throws the stick in the air and waits for them to come down, catches them and finishes with a drum lick to end the song. I had to see it twice to believe it! Best ever!!!

Great video! It's very sad that Neil is gone but I enjoy seeing that his music is still appreciated 👍

Canadian and greatest drummer and songwriter who ever lived. Sorry, John Bonham and Roger Taylor. If you haven't heard it, "Bubbles plays 'Closer To The Heart' with RUSH" is a terrific song, but features Canadian icon Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys. I also recommend Legal by Snow, a Canadian reggae singer. The video features the Trailer Park Boys. Snow was huge in the early 90s with songs like "Informer" and "Girl I've Been Hurt." Terrific artist who grew up in the North York district of Toronto, Canada, where there is a big Jamaican community, which is where he learned to do reggae rap. The Canadian music scene has been really underrated for decades.

At best.

RIP Lisa Marie Presley You guys are missing one of the best Jazz singers on the planet. Angelina Jordan just turned 17 yrs old and has been singing professionally for 10 yrs. Since she won Norway's Got talent at 8 yrs old. Check out 'I Put a Spell On You' at 9 yrs old. (10 million views) by Screamin Jay Hawkins 1956. Follow that with her rendition of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' at 13 yrs old. (70 million views). She got the Golden Buzzer from Heidi Klum and the band Queen was so impressed they tweeted "Wow! What a rendition" and gave her the rights to her performance. Then do 'Suspicious Minds' by Elvis Presley (3.2 million views in 6 months) which she dropped this past spring. She met Priscilla Presley recently and just posted a tribute to Lisa Marie Presley who died yesterday. She is known as The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. 👣

A young lady who can sing Elvis better than Elvis. 16 yr old Angelina Jordan. Watch this and tell me I'm wrong. The most beautiful voice on earth right now. IMO. One of the Best Jazz singers in the world at 16 yrs old. Destined to be one of The Greatest Vocalists of All Times. Start with ‘I Put a Spell on You’ at 9 yrs old, kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKt6ztF8gLvgc9Y.html (10 million views) followed by ‘‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3pkrLhraNnNfNo.html.13 yrs old (70 Million views). Queen responded "Wow, What a rendition" and gave her the rights to the Performance! Available on ITunes. Then 'Suspicious Minds’ by Elvis Presley kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIiWrcqkk8i4YJM.html July 20, 2022. Power & pure velvet perfection. Love the Barefoot Princess of Jazz ♥👣👸🏻🎷

@@Mu5icPr0ducer Why not. Afraid to experience something new and an incredible singer and child prodigy.

I'm Canadian and this is my first time hearing this, just wow!

Neil is your favorite drummers drummer. True statement. Heard a lot of famous drummers interviews and thats what they all said. After all he was called the professor for a reason ❤

The man is a legend! Check out John Bonham Moby Dick. Both men are drum gods. Bonham is also regarded as the best drummer ever.

Yesss!!!

The Eddie Van Halen of drummers!

The mathematical precision of this man remains unmatched.

There will never be another like him. RIP. Glad I got to catch them Live 3 times.

If you want to check out some more amazing drummers... don't miss Danny Carey / Tool - Pneuma drum cam. Honestly, Tommy Lee is average at best.

"The most endangered species - The honest man." RIP Neil Peart

I won't even be objective about it. Best drummer ever. If you disagree I don't even want to hear it. R.I.P. Neil Peart. The legend. The G.O.A.T.
