  • now add Geddy and Alex and you will have something

  • tell me about it, alice cooper and tom waits get in; but not rush

  • T.O. = Y Y ZED  = FTW

  • I have question to ask? how you put drums on top of water??

  • VERY FUNNY !!!

  • 100% accuracy!

  • It's not easy being cheesy

  • BEANS

  • He's like the Peyton Manning of percussion.

  • @catshavesouls I think you mean Tom Brady.

  • @TABBYFINSTAH No, that's Jeff Campitelli. Pretty good drummer but he's no Neil Peart. All he has to do is show up and let Joe Satriani (Belichick) do all the work.

  • @catshavesouls Haha yeah... Im just a die hard Pats fan (and Rush) I just dont see them mixed too often.

  • @TABBYFINSTAH Yeah, Tom Brady is getting to be a pretty good field general. I would love to see the Broncos win this week but I gotta go with the Pats 31-17

  • @catshavesouls I'm really torn about that game... I love Tebowing but yeah I think the Pats will win too. By the way it's funny how we're predicting football scores on a video of an animation of a drummer XD

  • hahah this is so lame but awesome at the same time

  • i know how to play this song

  • 97 losers!!!!!

  • Neil Peart The Best Drummer in the world

  • though the video is close , the real Peart is faster

  • How in the world did you put this together??

    What type of software? A Mac for hardware I assume?

  • this is so cool. nice job

  • This is Crazy Good!!. Only 2 flaws, your guy twirls his sticks better and doesn't look as pissed off as "Real Peart"!! Haha, only joking Neil.

  • very nice, thank you.

  • ye as clever as this is...there is loads of footage of neil himself on youtube so.....

  • what i don't get about modern day "music" is: how the hell do people relate to it if "artists" try to rime rather than transmit a solid message through the song???!!!! Im obviously speaking of mainstream artists. If you REALLY like a song, its because you can relate to what its saying. I mean... Subdivisions... come on!!!!

  • I asked it before, I will ask it again...HOW IS THIS BAND NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME???

  • @PrinceofAvalon

    unfortunately for rush, with todays public they don't stand a chance because 3 things:

    1) people these days listen to shit... literally. I don't know how they come up with lyrics these days... "kick it in the back seat, kick it in the front seat..." I mean... WTF?!

    2) critics back then, most of them, didn't get their music, from a musical standpoint (not lyrical), so they would bash the band with bad "press"

    3) Rock and roll hall of fame hates prog rock... dicks...

  • @PrinceofAvalon you should really consider watching Beyond the Lighted Stage for a really good insight on the band. I LOVE RUSH!!!!! and IM alone and 17 and the people in my class pay no attention to music... rather the "thing" that people listen to these days.

  • @PrinceofAvalon the reason why they are now are two things. Rush is by far the most talented band ever. the record industry doesn't like it when a group does thing there own way. and finally rush is not a band played on the radio much. if the band made it to the canadian verion of the hall in no time why can Rush be in the US version???? it's a crying shame to see rush get all the respect but no hall omg they have a star on the hollywood walk of fame now.

  • @PrinceofAvalon They will be, soon!

  • @PrinceofAvalon not famous enough

  • @PrinceofAvalon

    Well, perhaps because Rush do not need to be in any kind of hollywoodian "hall of fame". This is perhaps good for the typical mediocre pop around, but for Rush this would be a complete underrating of their work and influence.

    Just imagine: Rush in the same monument as all that "... style without substance", and "... stuff without style..."

    So, perhaps it is a good idea to keep them outside all that kind of fashion.

    Rush is Rush.

    Just a thought, that is.

  • @kickniko That is a very valid point. The success and talent of Rush is validated by those who love their music.

  • @PrinceofAvalon

    Yes, exactly, my friend. (If I may call you that.)

    And I think that their talent is always appreciated by all who love music at all, instead of some kind of Monday production being thrown on our faces by TV shows and Hollywood spectacles. (You know what I am talking about, ey? ;-))

    They contributed so much to modern music that you can readily hear their chords in so many songs of our times..

    I think that Rush is a phenomenon by itself, so we just let it be.

  • @PrinceofAvalon Because the rock n roll hall of fame is extremely-biased and would rather let in overrated acts like Run-dmc who are not even rock.

  • @PrinceofAvalon sadly its prbly because they are Canadian

  • buenisimo

  • that is corrigraphed off the video like Gollumn in Lord of the Rings off of Andy Serkis.

  • how did you do this animation.

  • Amoacristo, why won't you allow this to be played on I-phone or I-pad?

  • If you dislike this, you don't get music. The Professor rocks.

  • I knew it! Neil Peart IS NOT HUMAN!

  • This video proofs, that Neil Peart is jesus. He plays drums on water without any

    floor, throws a drumstick into 2 meters, and catches it.

  • lol,

  • great animation of greatest drummer

  • Fuck 'n Great Stuff !! Well done ! I was looking at the Rush movie on HBO ! Something that you ALL need to see !

  • 2:18 why is his head so big?

  • do the whole band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Comment removed

  • Massaroka!

  • So many people pronounce Neil's last name "Puuuurt" however, it is actually "Pee-urt"...thought I would let everyone know...

  • It's been almost 5 years.

    WHERE IS PART 2???

  • I think it looks more like Terry Bozzio than Niel Peart.

  • i love how he even rendered neil giving a little smirk after he flips the sticks

  • Now I said Peart was over rated and you go a step further and call him a "dickhead"...thats mean spirited...just comment on his average skills and dont get personal with him...I mean maybe he is a jerk and all but you dont have to call him names girlfriend.

  • Guys.

    Be open minded. We live in a make beleive world. This video is awsome. Most of you have no idea of the time it takes to make this kind of video ( I do)

    As for drumming, I won the Canadian National Championships back in 1982. I can tell you that there is no beter drummer than Neil. Leave the drumming behind and look at the artist. That, I know.

    Dany,

  • @40cub I know the guy that made this video.. it took him months to coordinate the video with the sound. He taught himself how to do the computer animation.. he did not go to school for it. this video is not only a tribute to Neil Pert adn Rush but shows the months of dedication and determination of a single person. He now does free lance work for ESPN and Notional Geographic and was fetured in Modern Drummer mag and the Washington Post newspaper.

  • If You Watch Niel, You Will See His Head Move Back And Forth To The Beat.

    RUSH 4EVER!

  • Yeah it must be tough to be a drummer when you cant miss...i mean common...he has got a 145 piece drum set.....i would like to see him try and hit the skinz on a 5 piece like ringo.

  • @spm1021 he can play on any size of a drumset. and ringo played 4 pieces mostly. but he can play on anything he wants. ive seen him play songs like yyz on a 4 piece drum set before. dont say bad things about stuff you dont know.

  • Very good !!!!!

  • are you people stupid??? this is from neils site, this guy didnt make this

  • Amazing... My Favourite band for more then 30 yrs now and i am finally gonna get the chance to see them live. They are coming to Ireland for the 1st time in May and I have my Tkts purchased. Oh yes i agree that there are 92 crackhead, Emptyhead, Twatheads in cyberspace.

  • PLEASE MAKE MORE!

  • how has your computer not melted yet exploded from the awesomness of Neil Peart

  • Quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen on YouTube ever. Obligatory--> there are at least 92 crackheads in cyberspace.

  • awesome!! 

  • GREAT !!!!!

  • really superb animation, as they say, thanks to RUSH for to give us the guide in order to believe in the freedom and honesty of music.

  • An error ocurred, please try again later. <--- wow neil you really kick ass you are so good that youtube cant show an animation of you LOL

  • There is some symbolism in this i dont know if i was the only one to notice but hes on water and God can walk on water if Neil drums on water hes a drum GOD

  • @2020sniper nice, thinking outside the box.

  • Absolutely brilliant!!!! If this guy is not a drummer, he should be.

  • pause at 2:17 neils head is huge

    i wish i had my ipod when i went to pearson airport(yyz) because i would be blasting this on my headphones

  • @zackjp you're not the only one to wish that

  • @raokin466 i would to but i hummed it and was air jamming people probobly thougt i had tourrets LOL

  • i wish i had my ipod when i went to yyz i would be blasting this the whole time

    RUSH please never die

  • How can anyone dislike this?!?!?

  • @thecarboon because their drummers who dont get animations made of them

  • Only one word can describe this vid.....

    Perfection!

  • hahahahaa

  • just fucking perfect!!!so freaking amazingly perfect!!!when i grow up i really want to be like the guy that made this thing!!!

  • I'm going to say I know how this song is played. AND this clip has a PERFECT performance... I mean, the animation really hits every correct drum and same patterns. And if you look with detail you can see muscle movements and tensions (and illumination and shadow change) in every movement.

    This video is amusing.

    I can't imagine how it was done!

    Congratulations

  • This is so cool, I need to flush my head in the toilet to come back to reality. Awesome job!!! Long live Neil, Geddy, and Alex (They're not too bad for a bunch of Canadiens.... HA)!!!

  • Simply amazing, but how about doing a video for Geddy or Alex.

  • at 2:18 his head got huge,lmao

  • Thats cool as hell

  • i wonder if the guy who made this works for guitar hero

  • cool rush covers live at derekd2112

  • great animation whomever did it

  • this video is fuckin wiered

  • this videos shows that Neil Peart is Jesus in fact

  • Mike Portnoy! Come on guys, can't leave him out!!

  • Believe it or not, there are drummers that are up there with Peart.

  • only drummer that comes close is Danny Carey.

  • Muito legal. Em Outubro de 2010 estiveram no Brasil !!!!!!!!

  • great animation!! a tad generous with the hair though haha

  • No One Better Than This Guy On Drums...Like Eveybody Said Best Drummer On The Planet

  • The Best Fucking Drummer In The World

  • cool

  • impresionante ¡¡¡¡¡ cada vez que lo veo quedo sin palabras ¡¡¡

    mi agradecimiento a éstos programadores por el respeto absoluto puesto en este trabajo .

  • My algebra HonorS teacher thinks he is the Best!

  • My Algebra teacher thinks that Peart is over-rated. wtf.

  • @Anonymous7165 Your algebra teacher is a maroon

  • Mr Peart is such a phenomenal percussionist. Bonham, Moon and Portnoy are nothing by comparison, and I say that as an experienced drum critic.

    If you're looking for extremely high-quality FREE bootlegs from any Rush tour that doesn't have an official live album (and a few other tours that do!) then feel free to check out my blog. Just search on google for demonlobster rush blog, and it's the top result.

    It's full of downloadable bootlegs, and updates pretty much daily. See you there!

  • well, now we can say that Neil is really the Jesus of the music xD

  • salt water can't be good on those cymbals.

  • @JoeSzilagy How about?:

    "An ill wind comes arising

    Across the cities of the plain

    There's no swimming in the heavy water

    No singing in the acid rain

    Red alert

    Red alert"

    ;)

  • 2:32!

  • You obviously must have the best computer in the world if it can handle a 3D-model of Neil's drumming.

  • @KevinScottFries 'amoacristo' did not make this, it has been on the internet for a few years.

  • Andy fi Emmerdale

  • This video was the first time I heard this song. When I first heard it, I thought I could never learn it on drums, but I did! lol I love Rush!!!

  • Well done! A great tribute to one of the best bands and one of the greatest drummers in history! Rush rules!

  • Could do without the plane noise..

  • Hf is that great!

  • tem melhor?  duvido

  • Almost perfectly sync'd with the music. Awesome job!

  • I've smoked dope, chewed rope, dirty danced, french romanced, fucked, farted, fought, shot the moon, and drove big trucks. I've been to Maine, Spain, Spokane, and Fort Wayne, seen three worlds fairs,been 'round the world twice, looked danger in the face,and seen goats fuck in the marketplace, But I ain't never seen no shit.... LIKE THE SHIT I JUST SAW ON THIS SPACE!!! AWESOME!!!

  • @KozloSr1 i dun seen an elephant fly!

  • @KozloSr1 You even voted for George W Bush...(twice) good man!

  • @KozloSr1 OVER....RATED....OVER....RATED­

  • @spm1021 DICKHEAD

  • @spm1021 your retarded. drummers like joey jordison are overrated. neil is one of the best drummers to live. hes mastered numerous techniques and styles. try learning a few songs and then tell me if hes overrated.

  • @KozloSr1 I have but I prefer this :)

  • Just started this Facebook page today, help spread the word... Join the 1,000,000 For RUSH to be in Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame today!

  • I just want to say that rush is the greatest band who has ever lived because they taught me that if i keep practicing i could be as good as them one day.... there music is so inspiring, Thank You Rush for never giving up on making music =)

  • whoever made this is a genius

  • FUCK YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!

  • Holy shit! 10/10

  • In response to (metallicakixtotalass)'s comment. There is also a big difference between a good drummer, and a percussionist. Neil Peart "The Professor", exceeds them all as a complete percussionist. Even though YYZ is an excellent instrumental, it isn't one of his best kit job's by far... Thank you RUSH, for some of the best years in music .....

  • wow!!! wtf?!

  • Gavin Harrison is by far the best rock drummer in the world. The guy uses his feet as hands and has incredible technical skills and cannot be imitated.

  • Who made this its like really awesome

  • where is the Gong..? :(

    this is awesome

  • love the stick tricks!

  • O MELHOR DO MUNDO! Sem a menor sombra de dúvida.

  • I hear rock n roll since last century and Neil is surely the best of the five best rockn roll drummers I've ever know.

    Neil Peart é o cara!

    N1

  • neil Peart the best drummer ever

  • Anyone who says Peart is no good, is as stupid as the comment they posted.......

  • Dear Lord, 91 people missed the 'like' button ._.

  • who ever made this whole animation needs to start making real movies.

  • i love the way his drum set is setup

  • 766000 views on an animation video of a drummer! That's a reare sight!

  • The guy who did this is a genius!!!

  • not only drums but gongs, cowbells, glockenspiels, etc---I don't even consider Neal Peart a mere drummer but a PERCUSSIONIST---and a hell of a writer too, not just from his lyrics but after reading other works that he has written. And to see his skill in person is a real treat!

  • Id take Chad Smith over Neil Peart, Drum soloes dont bring anything to a song usually, there just drum solo's

    chad smith is so groovtastic and look at the recognition its gotten him?

    and the greatest part thing is he doesnt care

  • those PBS animated shows can take a lesson and do something a lot like this. I'm grinning all the way through the detail in this

  • its all in the double bass pedal...its what made him appear so great..hes a good drummer...but the best?? I dont think so.

  • @skinnersboy You sir, are insane. Neil Peart is one of the most well-respected and influential drummers of all time, and it's not just me who says that. While I agree it is impossible to say any musician is "the best", Peart is indeed one of the greats. He's been creating music with Rush since the early 70s and has, during all that time, taken a conscientious approach to his art. Your comments, I think, have the taste like sour grapes.

  • @skinnersboy Your are retarded.

  • @skinnersboy who do you think the best drummer is

  • @skinnersboy it is in its bollox only in the double kick u asshole he has some of the most creative beats and solos known to man,not to mention catchy or very strange perth is unreal

  • though there is no kit like this its pretty awesome animation

  • i love this gonna get my cover out soon AMAZING

  • Nice, you got the hi-hat part animated correctly. A lot of people think Neil just plays the off-beat. Good job.

  • Great rendering :O

    I like Mike Mangini also and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. I do not know who is best but I can tell you with great certainty that one of  Portnoys' greatest influences was Peart. I have seen Rush 7 times... 6 times b4 Permanent Waves was released.

  • 3:13

  • Awesome animation, but the weather was not so good to play drums outside...

  • Awesome homage. Appreciate it.

  • As to the greatest drummer:

    Peart is certainly AMONG the best drummers who have ever lived, especially when you are talking about technique. But then there are different STYLES of playing that may appeal to some more than others. I saw a drummer in an instrumental rock band at Austin's SXSW music conference. He played the drums in a way I had NEVER seen before. His playing was totally unique. Wish I got the guy's name!

  • @jaybone23 a double bass pedal is all this guy brings to the table...its sorta like sliced bread...beacause you never seen it before you think its the greatest thing ever...dont get me wrong...he can keep a beat but thats about it.

  • @skinnersboy I understand you have the right to your own opinion, and i respect that, but the comments you have made just don't make sense it's almost like you have never heard Neil Peart even play, or you have absolutely no knowledge of drumming at all. That's my opinion. Oh! and yes there are alot of great drummers out there. Check out Steve Smith!

  • @870expressmag you suck to.

  • @alkaseltzerplus1 LOL, Thanks.

  • @alkaseltzerplus1 Hey, Did you know Neil peart and Steve Smith both took lessons

    from Freddie Gruber. I don't know why u said I suck I'm probably a bigger Peart fan than you , the only thing is I'm not biased.

  • @skinnersboy you cant do it fagboy.

  • Insane!

  • this shit is chill, very accurate with the motions

  • EXCELLENT!!!

  • wow tots epic

  • It took the person that made this, I think about 7 yrs to make. Now that is dedication. And Neal Peart is the Drum GOD of the Universe. Has a fracking PHD in Precussions.

  • @Renotrigger you know it.

  • Bonham hahahahaahaha.... yeah whatevs dude... there's one problem... that clown is dead.

    Geddy rules the bass in this piece.

  • excelente Rush, la banda que sobrevivio a todos las epocas y probo todos los estilos dentro del rock.... lo mejor que hay

  • they are trying to achieve absolutly nothing, they are doing because they can...i would do it if i had the skill...so i suppose thats what it does for me. love Rush, nice video turn on a classic track... :)
