Neil Peart-Tom Sawyer

[shadownight891]

Ok ,I like Niel Peart,but in today's drum world and only as far as drumming goes,Jojo Mayer is my favorite,but as far as a musician Niel wrote all the lyrics for rush and has all those kick ass songs to his credit.As far as Buddy rich goes,I can't name one song he did but killer drummer.Met Niel when I went to Mi in 85.Nice enough and very private.

[peyo001]

Family Guy brought me here!!

[onokaoonokao]

unnecessary drums win

[brutolbombo]

never heard a more boring,soulless drummer .

[POPCORN454545]

240 fucking p we meet again....

[Im69AFag]

fuck yeah this is the shit mofo's

[RandomPidgeon]

*snorts* AH, OH GOD THERE WAS NO FUCKING DRUMMER BETTER THAN NEIL PEART!!!!!

[miyank081]

Last I looked, it was longer than 2:09

[stagesetupman]

it's called a loose stage setup most drummers ask for that setup .all his drums are tight :) enjoy

[NARAHmate]

Imagine if john bonham, keith moon and neil peart were on a night out.

Bonzo and Moon already did :) the things they would get up too...

\m/ hheheehe

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

I never tire of seeing Neil's anatomy.

[Nero87A1]

His drums shake so much. Tighten em up!

[swatz25]

ok, why so many drums?

[turtleboy84]

Tom Sawyer as a jazz expression:

watch?v=MCEXWpAoFfE

[fyniyah]

i want some cheetos now

[MajsterOdTapet92]

@fyniyah yay me too xD

[moromir0]

it aint easy being cheezy

[fcweddington]

Tom Sawyer Hi-Hat Work = Murderer of Hands.

At least until you understand the method.

[Phantom1822]

Drumming is not a competition, there is no 'best' and no 'worst', and no one is going to win de 'best drumming prize' so stop arguing, shut up and listen to this great music.

[197550rp]

Ulrich? Have a word will you

[oharakatie14]

i finally played this right

[TheAkuomadara]

IT AINT EASY TO BE CHEASY

[DesertTurtle760]

Worst drummer and worst band ever.

[justcallmesqueezer]

@DesertTurtle760 how the fuck can you possibly say that

[MlKEPORNTOY]

1. Peart

2. Ulrich

3. Portnoy

[vergiljackpot]

@MlKEPORNTOY seriously? ulrich? what the fuck?

[MetalRivas]

@MlKEPORNTOY

1. Minnemann & Peart

Ulrich is the one that cleans their cymbals

[TheNumba1steelersfan]

it aint easy bein cheesy

[Deth687]

Love Neil Peart, hes a great drummer who have inspired many drummers like Mike Portnoy! No reason to fight whos the best..

[douggab123]

this is my favorite song ever!

[7uncas]

illan rubin is a great drummer too.

[sapphwalker]

FU Obama is an idiot wrapped in a moron. Don't put that sh*t on my screen again.

[papaawesome]

mike portnoy beats this guy easily

[BigMikeATL]

@papaawesome Mike Portnoy wouldn't exist if it weren't for this guy.

[nodrush80]

@papaawesome Mike's just a cheap copy of Neil.

[papaawesome]

@nodrush80 are you kidding? anybody can do what he is doing

[nodrush80]

@papaawesome If anybody could do it, why doesn't everybody do it then? Thats the secret of genius, making the difficult look easy. Ask portnoy who his hero is? Portnoy goes to Rush shows and records Neils solo's. Check it out, thers a clip on youtube of mike at a rush show recording Neils solo.

[shyflyirishguy]

@papaawesome papaa you are clearly not awesome because you cannot see that they are both amazing drum just keep you opinion to yourself ok buddy?

[grindancer]

IMHO he is overrated. And please, don't tell me shits, it's only my opinion.

[sandbucket1]

Neil Peart teaches how to drum like Buddy Rich. He's a huge fan. Not only that but he's Chuck Norris' father dumb ass

[ckom0007]

It's not a contest. It's style. Look, no one, I mean no one, plays a Who song with the style, wit and verve of Keith Moon--grant that.

Rush 'aint Rush without the signature of Neil Peart. When you're in the 'rare air' that these four or five guys are in does it really matter who's best (no pun). Bonham, Copeland, Peart, Rich, Moon, Lang--whatdaya want? If you want more go f...just kidding.

[coolruehle]

Neil is the Chuck Norris of drummers.

[ownagepwnagemaster]

@coolruehle neil peart is chuck norris

[TheRaVaGeHITMAN]

@coolruehle how dare you compare peart to chuck norris, peart's much better

[coolruehle]

@TheRaVaGeHITMAN  LOL!!

[140jeff15834]

@coolruehle I hate when people compare Neil Peart to Chuck Norris. I mean he's great and all, but he's no Neil Peart...

[kschwab14]

The fact of the matter is the top five drummers are moon, peart, bonham, buddy rich and stewart copeland.

[grindancer]

@kschwab14 and what's about Gene Krupa? I hope that this top five is not official.

[kschwab14]

@grindancer haha no its my top 5 and actually h'ed probably take copeland's spot but i'm such a huge police fan and the way they blened rock reggae and all those elements gives cope the egde for me. the guy could drive a beat with his hi hat alone.

[ETSJoshVoxx]

i love you man ruined this song for me

[6393dude]

as a drummer i can say neil peart is not the best drummer on the planet. if you want my opinion i think thomas lang is. some of the things he can do are physically impossible.

[pgoindi]

@6393dude I would agree that Lang is from a technical view, a better drummer than Peart, but I would bet my house that Rush songs would sound way worse with Lang as the creator of the drum parts.

[egurzi]

what the arranged hash?

[certise]

THERE IS NO FUCKING DRUMMER BETTER THAN NEIL PEART.

[Ozzy9800]

@certise yeah, joey jordison can fuck off

[facedspaced]

@certise Wow you are so wrong. He's damn good, but, no.

[littledrummer1994]

@certise family guy?

[Kierank30]

@certise there is no best drummer only favorates.. go on just about any other drummers videos and youll hear the same thing.

[Dustyfrab123]

@certise ALL OUT MAN YAAAAA SAW RUSH LIVE AT ALLENTOWN FAIR YAAAAAAAA

[barryrodgers]

@certise Not since John Bonham died anyway.

[MetalRivas]

@certise

Marco Minnemann

[TheNineinchsnails]

@certise Josh Freese

[DrIScream]

@TheNineinchsnails It's a Family Guy reference...

[TheNineinchsnails]

@DrIScream oh yeah... I feel dumb

[forceofchaos1]

@certise family guy much

[Demigone]

@certise it aint easy being cheesy

[Devorvan]

@certise It's not easy being cheesy

[Wafledor]

@certise it aint easy bein cheesy. 

[APHFZ09]

@blackmetalgamer...Oh really, there are better drummers, Name one ?

[voidstuff]

@APHFZ09 well, there are many I discovered when i started drumming for serious. Such as Dave Weckl , Steve Gadd, Dennis Chambers and Jojo Mayer. Todd Sucherman for example: watch?v=uhZfiY0NYEc&feature=re­lated

Still, Peart for me is one of the greatest drummers because of his great creativity on the Rush songs. And I don't know of any other great drummer that is also a great liricist

[chadwic911]

The video ended before his actual drum solo...

[dunhamdude22]

anyone who thinks this guy is bad is fucking insane...

[ExtraJordanAry202]

kit doesn't look stable, proper wobbling!

[TheBarackClinton]

Forget Neil Peart, the rest of the band is pretty great live, too.

[lrocks98]

Looks like Tom Hanks!

[PeikkoKuningas95]

@lrocks98 no. your wrong. tom hanks looks like neil peart

[ArturCordeirodrums]

look tom hanks

[daddysevenpointfiver]

crap cut at 1:10

[BlackMetalGamer]

His grooves are overly simple... I have only be playing for a year and this is just to  easy for me.

[d182Rockk]

@BlackMetalGamer so go learn o baterista instead

[metzepp]

@BlackMetalGamer if youve only been playing for a year, and you find this easy, u obviously arent hitting every single beat. listen to 2:56-3:04 in the real track. if u can play that, after only playing for a short period of time, you must be a beast.

[BlackMetalGamer]

@metzepp Could you give me a link to the track so I may hear it?

[hereforhalibut]

@BlackMetalGamer what is wrong with simple grooves?

[BlackMetalGamer]

@hereforhalibut People praise him for being a fantastic drummer, but in reality he is only mediocre.

[moestitia13]

@BlackMetalGamer Um, no, he's a really amazing drummer. However, there are better drummers. Are there better drummers/percussionists/lyrici­sts...? No, probably not.

[indigo2012v2]

OMG!

THERES NO FUCKING DRUMER BETTER THAN NEIL PEART!

[zrouth]

@indigo2012v2 actually yes, yes there are, and there are a lot of them

[indigo2012v2]

@zrouth name 7

[zrouth]

@indigo2012v2 Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Danny Carey, Jeff Ballard, Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Dave Weckl. That was easy. I could name 7 more just as easily. Every single one of these guys could SMOKE Neil, and with half the kit. I'M not trying to smash Neil Pert or say that your opinion is crap, It's cool that you love him, more power to ya. But he's just not in the same league as these guys. He does have a nice kit though

[d182Rockk]

@zrouth 2 words. family guy.



[indigo2012v2]

@zrouth you forgot Chris Penny, but fair enough.

[iSuperdupaloveweed]

When he hits that snare, a little shiver goes up my spine.

[RuxLexi1109]

this is drum sex for my face !!!!!!

[btwine2001]

40 people can't play drums

[millertime1089]

@btwine2001 860 people wish they were better

[nudist1033]

The 1st 0:10 seconds of this video was better than the last 2:00 of it.

[ghrbexpert]

once upon a time there was nothing......... then , there was RUSH

[nicktheshredder]

He may think this is one of the harder songs to play, but I can play this song perfectly. ... On Rock band.

[mcski022]

he sure loves shaky drums :)

[deathbysunrise66]

@mcski022 he just rocks too hard...thats why his drums are shaking

[SlayingMinion]

lol, I wonder if he's already getting too old to keep proper timing...

[sentinal1]

Dare I say hes the best drummer ever?

[ddpoopooyeah2]

What hi hat method is he using, when he hits hit? Ive been playing drums for 5 years now, and actually dont know the name of it. Could some one tell me?

[johnzarcone]

whats type of cymbals and hi hat is he usin i love the sound of them especiallly the hi hat

[TheTruecompassion]

Sabian Paragon Limited Edition Cymbal Pack<------Google this youll find it.

[peaceandmetal88]

He's just concentrating. Tom Sawyer is still regarded by Neil as one of the more difficult songs to play perfectly in a live situation. His right hand is moving fast, and the fills are difficult to time correctly.

[MrRaspberryNutsack]

He never looks like he's having any fun.

[sw1tched]

@MrRaspberryNutsack would you if you lost your wife and daughter in a short span of time? fuck ... i would kill myself if it was me

[jambi99]

Is that normal that is drumming is constantly shaking like that?

[SuperGilbs]

@jambi99 i don't think so i normally do everything i can to make sure my shit isn't shaking

[SABTASTlC]

Whats up with that speeding up at 1:01 - 1:04? o___o

[DAMIVzombie]

@SABTASTlC

sounds right to me.

[calfitz10]

@SABTASTlC I know what you mean, thought it was kinda funny at first.

[JazzBlackBelt]

His face during the entire thing says "Meh."

[genx3117]

does this seem like a waaaay slower tempo to anyone else?

[littlemann211]

they didnt even git to the pest part :(

[christschool]

I'm not even a drummer and I ordered this DVD. I love watching a master of any art do his craft and Peart is a master.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

skys and levees and taxes and bread are all better unleavened mind you

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

took a time machine to unbottlleitup

/watch?v=TOdo7dhvSwg

[benaberry]

chuck norris would kick those drums over

[lesterismyname]

@benaberry And Peart would blow his mind with epic drum fills and insane drum solos.

[PyroGameFreak3D]

His kit is wobbly.

[NightmareUT]

I prefer Make Portnoy and from this era Matt Greiner. But I can't lie Nail Peart is the best haha

[SWEdrummer95]

I didn't know Tom Hanks played drums.

[leanfiend444]

@SWEdrummer95 He doesn't.

[bagokun]

360度　太鼓があるんですね！　すごい！！

[lion3p0]

im frightene to see the ultimate showdown between neil peart and john bonham THE EARTH WILL CRACK!

[thethoma]

@lion3p0 And then Kieth Moon will jump out laughing.

[Christian1Aguayo]

@lion3p0 john is nothing compared to neil

[shoez290]

frank said that because look at his guitar player. But neil peart is best fucking drummer ever! yeah when moon,mitchel, and rich arnt around cant really compare anyone to peart. maybe portnoy?

[Kalashnikov1098]

Neil Peart is amazing! Only thing that makes me not really like Rush is the singing. The singer sounds like he's from a Renaissance Festival .

[TheSADrummer]

@Kalashnikov1098 geddy lee is amazing! haha

[tr75out]

1:04 sounded strange coming in after the fill on the cymbals and returning to the hihat . if you count it through its like they come in early.. definitely not how it is in the studio version of the song. sorry im just nit-picking a little. i know it's live..

[djjazzek]

@tr75out If u look closely the video skips a fraction of a second in two places

[cardinaldriver]

@tr75out

This is just a sample and is obviously clipped (quite poorly) to quell time constraints.

[eddieisfiction]

@tr75out it just sounds like it, because the song is played in 7/8 time signature

[halolord80]

Best drummer ever. My idol!

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

i hate his unnecessarily large drum kit.

[Broons2112Bane]

@DontLikeBandsIHate For the record its not unnecessary

[maidtoorder28]

it aint easy being cheasy

[toul100]

@maidtoorder28 The way you typed "cheesy" (<----- as it should be) was spelt incorrectly

[toul100]

@maidtoorder28 The way you spelled "cheesy"(<---------- as it should be) for your comment is wrong in the prase you put it in.

[toul100]

@maidtoorder28 The way you spelled "cheesy"(<---------- as it should be) for your comment is wrong in the phrase you put it in.

[jojy43568]

@maidtoorder28 lol ever vid i have seen on this song has tht as the top comment

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@maidtoorder28 How the hell could you possibly spell cheesy wrong!?

[prideoverfire1]

they cut it off right before one of Neil's best solos in a popular Rush song. very dissapointing.

[geromd91]

The drumkit surrounds him, thats fucking awesome

[spinvilchy]

Hes just so calm and relaxed, he could probably be reading a magazine while doing this. His cymbals rack cost probably more than my car.

[gerry1976]

38 guys are frustrated they can't play drums.

[spinvilchy]

@gerry1976 No 38 guys like myself are probably pissed because the best part of the song was not used for this vid.

[mikeymo100]

Didn't know Tom Hanks played drums. =)))

I grew up listening to Rush, and they still give me the chills listening to them today. Great stuff. Great musicians.

Greatest ROCK drummer of all time period.

[ILAN2187]

best drumer of all time phil colins  foxtrot genesis

[wadoryu2u]

those repetitive notes on the hi hat are honestly harder than they look. you honestly gotta get used to it to tire less when you do them.

[aeroplus]

one of the best drummer...

almost as good as ginger

[kjmr52]

@13jam100 SOMEONE IS GETTING WHAT IM SAYING. GINGERS ARE ALWAYS GOOD. WHY?

[CapZug]

I thought for many years that Neil was "best". But there are many drummers I now consider MUCH better: Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Virgil Donati for starters.

[MultiMetalgod]

@CapZug peart blows them away they are all great choices but they need more time to be held in this class

[music130man]

@music130man lolol he uses aimbot

[vasquez123100]

itit aint easy being cheesy

[gtrocksyosocks]

The kit looks like its about to fall over and turn into an avalanche of percussion on top of Neil.

[verotolone]

The best. Punto.
