YYZ - Rush ( Neil Peart Drum Solo )

[LoserMcBeaver]

WANTS.TO.SEE.THEM.LIVE!

[DougDinsdale]

My dad was a direction finder in the Korean War and had to do a lot of encryption/decoding using Morse code. He could send about 25 words a minute CLEARLY. Several years back I told him that there was a band named Rush that had a song called "YYZ", based on Morse code characters. He smiled and without batting eye went "Dah dit-Dah Dah/Dah dit-Dah Dah/Dah Dah did-it_Dah dit-Dah Dah/Dah dit-Dah Dah/Dah Dah did-it."

[34jazzman]

neil's dw's have never sounded as good as his ludwigs or tamas

[tclar6661]

joey jordison is better

[hvrocker2]

@tclar6661 no

[frofro73]

Class is in session.........The professor has arrived

[ryking2]

AMAZING !!!!!

[gorilamagro]

Neil must be very pissed when the rehearsal is on Geddy's place.

[Shadowbeast368]

@gorilamagro Haha yeah. Hold on Geddy, I just got to pack up my drum kit. 7 hours later Neil shows up in a 20 foot moving van XD

[jimmolimmo1]

God.

[awes0meSmurf]

how does neil pert get out of his drum set if its all the way around

[dstrim2000]

@awes0meSmurf Like any God....he just appears or disappears.

[matthewh2012]

And I was drumming!! (Forest Gump voice)

[Lvl60Slayer]

*snorts a line of cheetos* AUHGHHH THERE IS NOT FUCKING DRUMMER BETTER THEN NEIL PEART! *smashes coffee table

[prettynoose8497]

Q: Why are Neil Peart drumming and an incredibly beautiful woman alike?

A: You just cannot take your eyes off them!

[gianlawalata]

this is awsome.

[VIRGINGOTHDOGG]

NEIL PEART IS THE MAN. TELL ALL THOSE HATERS OUT THERE THAT HE BUILT THOSE DRUMS FROM SCRATCH.(MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS). HE POUNDS THOSE DRUMS LIKE HE HAS LOST HIS MIND, ("BUT HE'S MIND IN NOT FOR RENT...GET IT") ITS LIKE TWO PEOPLE ARE PLAYING WHEN HE IS. AND NO, I DON'T THINK HE "COUNTS"(DRUMMERS OUT THERE KNOW WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY ""TO COUNT."""..)I

1000 YEARS FROM NOW, WE THAT PULL THAT ALBUM FROM THE WREAKAGE, IT WILL STILL SEND CHILLS DOWN OUR SPINES!!!!!

[DoubleDz2k11]

Neil Peart. More stamina than a bodybuilding roadrunner on meth.

[paparoach99]

Why is when people talk about Rush they usually talk about Neil and Geddy (who are immensely talented, don't get wrong), but always kind of ignore Alex Lifeson? He's one of the best rock guitarists ever.

[Skybluheaven]

The amazing thing about Neil Peart...He still Plays Like This almost 30 yrs later !!!

[wishbone20t]

172 nutjobs!

[billyball2]

the amount of fucks this band doesnt give is bamboozling

[Kalashnikov1098]

Probably the greatest sound mankind has ever heard.

[DCussen]

Great drum solo....without the drum solo?!

[ElRoedor]

W O W!

[jimmyutube004]

young and in their prime -- each one ripping it up like their lives depended on it. what a triangle these three. you know the roof had to have special steel reinforcement to withstand the pounding neil kicked out.

[TheTradge]

172 people couldn't get tickets to this show!

[falconelli01]

Even the great Buddy Rich himself will bow down to Neil Peart. The Best...

[3powderhound3]

Come on son! Words dont work!!!!

[peterluongo63]

I wanted say something sarcastic, sardonic, or ironic, couldn't do it. Cause it so good.

[eddytholland]

double bass before it was cool. like a boss!

[ltmajorcrunch]

He's such an unbelievable drummer. He doesn't ever need to play filler. He knows the exact sound that every part of his kit makes, and he makes those sounds exactly when he needs them. Even his solo sounds like it was rehearsed for weeks, because it's so technical and perfect.

[necrofire63]

ASOH!!

[brunodrumsdt]

The God of Drums!!!!!!!!!!

[spottedcuscus]

Wow, this brought some memories. Absolutely loved it!

[spehizle]

I watch this vid at least once a week.

[v1fly1]

How can there be 172 dislikes????? ASSHATS!!!!

[MetalGearKS]

I just looked up the definition of 'Epic' in the dictionary.

It just said ''Geddy Lee's bass playing''

[GreenDignity]

Danny Carey

[mixmasterfps]

neil peart>god

[sheracad]

Amazing!

As always!

Thanks Neil!

[DukeSantos45]

How do you possibly give this thumbs down?? Those people probably just missed the thumbs up.

[MikeHunterDrummer]

Incredible....as usual. This guy is one of the reasons I play today.

[4evilmen]

god at his greatness

[texxs01]

sound quality is so poor I can't heard half of the drums or half of what Geddy Lee is playing...

Pretty cool to see it though, I've seen it live before but you can't see as well as in a video like this...

It's a shame that the music had to be butchered in order for me to see it being played...

[ksioamaral89]

holy shit,never noticed geddy looks like sean penn!

[Redeye1524]

171 people had so much blood in their cock that they fainted on their mouse and accidentally disliked this video

[Ruppie482]

One of the best bands of all time

[leggynikki35]

he just has too many drums,ranks number 1 on best drummer polls, but why???????, the band are clearly just a vehicle for him,like that that guy who plays tennis from iran,fantastic exhibition player etc but would go out in round 1 of any tournament,just a noise,

[SleepyFroggy]

From certain angles, neil looks like Jeremy Clarkson

[ZooCrazyFace]

I don't understand how people can like stairway over 2112, ive been pondering over this for years now. could someone please tell me why!?!?!?

[jbghah]

Solo @ 3:25

[No1SniperAce]

the guy with the guitar looks like he's having a bit too much fun

[LuigiIrace]

I CAME 

[rauljim6tow]

ES IMPRESIONANTE LO QUE HACE NEIL EN ESTA CANCION 100% PRECISION, SIMPLEMENTE EL MEJOR



[XxPurgatorydrumsxX]

And Neil Peart rested the seventh day......

[mrkackerwacker]

@XxPurgatorydrumsxX then Chuck Norris took over...

[tardwhisperer]

@XxPurgatorydrumsxX--What a dipshit you are.

[leggynikki35]

@XxPurgatorydrumsxX

[leggynikki35]

@XxPurgatorydrumsxX the lead guitarist looks blind,like david blunkett,he is just a random banger this neil pert,is he a gag or like les dawson ????

[Vape4life]

Neil is better now then he ever was...

[ScentlessBoy]

Justin Bieber have 171 youtube accounts.

[smokine2001]

best drummer in the worl hands down

[drummerboy3383]

I would like to see anyone else in the entire world try to play as good as NEil Peart

[xCrAv3Nx]

best bass player and drummer in the world

[IxMAKExUxGOxLOL]

@xCrAv3Nx That's a very bold statement to make considering that John Myung, Billy Sheehan, Tony Levin and Juan Alderete still walk this planet.

Though Neil Peart is definitely the world's greatest drummer.

[DoubleDz2k11]

@xCrAv3Nx are you genuinely going to leave out Lifeson ? :O

[DoubleDz2k11]

@xCrAv3Nx are you genuinely going to leave out Lifeson ? :O

[stealthfox3886]

@xCrAv3Nx Give props to Alex to bro. lol

[MetaI4Brains]

@xCrAv3Nx

No one gives Alex enough credit.

[theRBninja]

@xCrAv3Nx well compare him to flea or les claypool, but he is still pretty awesome.

[irena7777777]

@theRBninja Flea? What about John Myung or Chris Squire?

[theRBninja]

@irena7777777 I was just giving examples, but oh yes they are good too.

[DoubleDz2k11]

@xCrAv3Nx Alex Lifesons fucking badass 2.

[swiftmachine1515]

holy shit, rush's base guitarist kicks ass. xO is he better than john entwistle?

[TheShagsJam]

rush kicks ass live



[TheGamingOlympians]

THUMBS UP FOR YYZ AND PEART

[leggynikki35]

if he ever intergrates a tune or song into his drumming then i will be impressed, but he just seems like a test pilot for drums. is that the point ?????

[ManMadeGod4]

@leggynikki35

What do mean "integrate a song into his drumming"? If you mean what I think you do, then you don't listen to Rush too often.

[ShowgunSam]

@ManMadeGod4 Don't encourage the bitch. Just a troll, that's all. Some people will never understand the magic.

[ManMadeGod4]

@ShowgunSam

I'm use to trolls going "lol travis barker is teh best". I have been duped.

[leggynikki35]

no,not a band, the other guys are just fluffers for his solos etc

[doineedoneofthese81]

saw them live in cleveland on the date of the recording this year. INSANE.

[paparoach99]

Don't tell me people are talking this Pol2nSTaR guy seriously.

[MrBonzo97]

your a fucking asshole who knows shit all about drumming, id honestly like to see u do this solo on your drumset, you no nothing about what makes neil amazing because you have been playing drums for 4 months. he can write great lyrics and creative solos. so good for you while you sit on your couch and critcize somebody who is making millions of dollars in front of thousands of people with his name among the best drummers in the world, even now while he is in his 50's. so your the fucking joke.

[Pol2nSTaR]

@MrBonzo97 this guy couldn't solo his way out of a paper bag. I could do this solo blindfolded. this definitely rates among one of the worst drum solos in the history of rock and roll. and judging by his drumming skills, I would have thought he was on welfare, not making millions of dollars. I could teach Neil a thing or two about playing the drums. Hey, Neil, give me a call sometime and we'll chat.

[vapotrini]

@Pol2nSTaR

Dude, seriously, this is not a comedy channel. 

[MrDrummasterflex]

@Pol2nSTaR Obviously, you are just plain stupid and just want attention. Or you are Justin Bieber....

[Pol2nSTaR]

What a pathetic drum solo... he just beats on the same two drums for the whole solo. not impressive at all... i've been playing the drums for 4 months now and could out solo this pathetic excuse for a drummer any day of the week. what a joke... don't quit your day job neil.. you blow donkey balls.

[thesaint66100]

@Pol2nSTaR

Dude, seriously you're an idiot. You should just quit playing the drums, cause you obviously know nothing about music. Neil Peart is one of the top 3 Drummers in the world. If you've been playing drums for 4 months and think you could out solo Peart, the only thing you could probably out solo him on is holding his Johnson, which you couldn't even hold his Johnson. I don't know why I even bothered wasting my energy responding to that comment. 

[vapotrini]

@thesaint66100

Top 3 or top 1? Oh sorry, top 2... after Pol2nstar of course.

[vapotrini]

@Pol2nSTaR

Hahahaha! Whenever you decide to upload this great solo of yours, please link me. Can do with a laugh or two just about now.

[MrROTD]

@Pol2nSTaR troll

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

If his kit were converted into inches, it would be his penis. What I'm in fact saying is that Neil has a very large penis.

[tdude74725]

this guy can shread!

[TheBrendoMan]

Thumbs up if your mind is blown!!

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

Anyone know what year this was filmed in?

[biggestplanefan]

@ThatOneMusicGuy789 1986 I believe or 1987. I would probably go with 1986.

[trmoen89]

@biggestplanefan I believe it's the Show of Hands tour (looking at Neil's kit).

[biggestplanefan]

@trmoen89 Yes, I just was not sure what year it was. But thanks anyway!

[sorencasonwood]

I miss Geddy's Wal . . .

[sookster54]

Neil took an arrow to the knee... then he pulled out the arrow and drummed with it.

[trollpatrolofficial]

i used to like rush then i took and arrow in the kne.... whit what... what the fuck am i smoking? i could take i million arrows to the knees, and still get a boner when i listen to this song.

[JoaoPTognini10]

How many hands does Neil Peart have?

[JoaoPTognini10]

Neil Peart is fucking amazing!

[yesorlando05]

This is absolutely the sickest bass line I've ever heard. Unreal!!!!!!!!!

[blindcheatah]

Has any1 noticed that according to the description, that this concert hasn't taken place yet...(Jan. 14, 2012)

[docblaze28]

Neil Peart must have said "Ima make this snare my bitch" before the show, cause he did just that! lol

Fuckin legendary!

[creamcoloredtree]

who sais the nordic man cant play the nigger drums hes even better than lars

[2010warped]

169 drummers with crushed dreams

[moellerersej]

Pathetic drummer

[WhiplashALM]

@moellerersej you sick fuck

shut your fuckin mouth and GTFO

[Feverlessify]

Does anyone know that feel from 3:15 - 3:25

[mbmurphy13]

Does anyone notice how shockingly similar this sounds to the drum solo Neil played at the 30th Rush anniversary?

[ownagepwnagemaster]

4:13...

[MbossySabre]

169 people are deaf.

[tdude74725]

@MbossySabre that is so true

[MrMatsui1993]

@MbossySabre make that 172 ^^

[Gazeroni]

Not my fave drummer - but a sweet solo! His hand-eye is just insane!

[429chet]

Do have sit down and then put the kit together around him, or do they assemble the kit and then lower him in with a crane?

[seandunx]

Primus! John the Fisherman!



[lanci122]

Ya know, I get they all play differently, but imagine a huge drum battle between

Neil Peart, John Bonham, Buddy Rich, ?uestlove, and Michael Shrieve.... All of which, some wonderful drummers.

Shit would go down....

[snakeweirdo]

@lanci122 T. Bozzio is way up there too.

[lanci122]

@snakeweirdo true, true....



[mbmurphy13]

@lanci122 and dave lombardo :D

[costerluver]

@lanci122 you forgot Keith Moon

[lanci122]

@costerluver shit your right.

how could i have forgotten him....

[Blackeyez]

playing the bass like a baus..

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

Best and sexiest drummer.

[BrodinBrothers22]

@MIKEPEARTNOY lol I'm seeing you comment that on every rush video I come across! XD

[BestUsernameIGot]

@MIKEPEARTNOY I love your username.

[DashCamVlog]

Best rock n' roll drummer of all time? You pretty have to give that distinction to Neil

Peart. Nah, I'm not Canadian. I'm just honest.

[johnnylarue1]

peart in his prime, no question....

[funkstrman]

this is easily the best video I've seen on youtube in the last 12 months. that xylophone with drumsticks?!?! unbelievable.

[2gasgo]

U wish!!!!

[Mattfries1769]

when 3:36 came along in the video so id I.

[HRFTG]

I wonder if this is still somewhat challenging at all to him

[MasterTove]

Some people say that Neil Peart is overrated, to those people I say, "listen to this."

[TheRoflcopterlo]

I used to be a great drummer like Neil Peart, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[iamVERYrandom]

@TheRoflcopterlo Because I've not seen that literally 20 times already today. Get some originality.

[VinnyJackass]

@TheRoflcopterlo LMFAO xD

[dsr0001]

best drummer ever - no lie.

[mbmurphy13]

GEDDY LEE YOU FUCKING BEAST!!!!!!!

[SenorSpode]

@wolfs9397 Once more, with feeling! Shall we sing?

[LedWolf7]

I wonder why they call themselves Rush.....hmm.. I wonder

[scott45217]

I hope those drums were 18...

[lordoftheringsfan25]

AWESOME!



[condorsrule3]

@lordoftheringsfan25 whatever.

[mrboomheadshot92]

i am a self taught drummer with good rhythm and decent speed... anyone know techniques to increase my speed to one day rival neil's here?

[torotnota]

@mrboomheadshot92 practice rudiments i guess

[k2skier0111]

@mrboomheadshot92 drum on something with little bounce. my favorite is a thick phone book. pillows work good too

[ddadragon]

@mrboomheadshot92 become a god then practice for 100 years then u might be halfway there

[andasideoffries]

@ddadragon orrrrr....just play guitar hero lol

[MegaKangMan]

Neil Peart is a fuckin BOSS!!

[damonepatterson]

RUSH IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO CANADA

[blackmii]

@damonepatterson Them and Aykroyd :D

[MrRippinTearin]

@damonepatterson and justin beiber was the worst

[bwhitcomb2011]

THERE IS NO FUCKIN DRUMMER BETTER THAN MARTI CROMGOLDSMYTHE. HE'S AWESOME!!!

[tosdemarseille]

@bwhitcomb2011

So, why do you fuckin' go to a rush vid to shout shits things like that ?!

[thespaceboon101]

@bwhitcomb2011 *flagged for blasphemy, falseness, not liking Neil, list goes on.*

[20dunaway]

This band is the best

[MetalSniper245]

1. bonham

2. Neil peirrt

3. Ian piece 

[ChaosRuler32]

@MetalSniper245 1.Peart

2. Palmer

3. Bonham

We all love Bonham but you need to take in account the fact that Bonham almost never played sober :/ but we still love him

[idonotweet]

@ChaosRuler32 Don't forget Danny Carey from Tool.  I'd put him 2nd or possibly before Peart.

[Hypefiend]

@MetalSniper245 the drummer of hour of penance is fuckin crazy too. look up hour of penance - apotheosis and listen from 2:24 till the end it's fuckin nuts

[SINTONSAINT]

MORE COWBELL!!!

[pauperpoet]

2112 is almoust here

[santran]

It ain't easy bein' cheezy

[kiwidubz]

@santran judging by chosen conquests on your behalf I can't help but integragize the unfortunate series in which the buttered circumfrence lays deep within hidden horizons before the apparitions of chinese philosophies surrounded by witches who's intentions are before none of a known sequence thus providing an unknown stimulation to the rectum before the rabbit infestations

[AIFRANCHISE1]

@kiwidubz WAT????????????

[sheracad]

Most concert drum solos I go use the head, get a beer...

NOT when Neil plays!!!

[SenorSpode]

The triangle and opening riff are Morse code for YYZ, which is the first signal aircraft get with their ADFs while coming into Toronto/Pearson...listed in the ICAO as "CYYZ Airport".

And then God said "Let there be Rush". God is good!

[mbmurphy13]

@SenorSpode I'm an Atheist and I agree :D

[SenorSpode]

@mbmurphy13 Touché and good form, sir!

A neal peart drum solo in a tommy lee drum cage... arrrr
