great job.you have "chosen" the backing track nicely. It goes well with the visual , kind of hypnotic and adds to the building excitement for me of seeing them in Manchester and Birmingham SOON! I play drums, which in respect to "The Master,"is a little like Rolf Harris saying to Da Vinci, that I like to paint . And setting up my weeny 7 piece takes a good 30 minutes so God knows what this monster takes. NP is the best there has ever been or likely to be. End of. And i am a massive Zep fan.
What factor did you increase the speed of the video? I know there are cuts, but I'm just curious how long it actually takes this guy on a nightly basis to put this together (and tear it down at the end of the night) - Tough job.
While I would not choose those words, I do agree about the music for the video. It made me think of someone being led to their execution. Like in the movie 'Dead Man Walking'.
@oldjizzy I originally used The Main Monkey Business for this video's music, but stupid WMG yanked the song. I could only use a song from YouTube's library after that and chose this particular piece because it was the right length and the drums sounded like something Neil might do.
@vdrum1693 hm. I wonder if maybe a classical piece might fit the scene better than the song you're using now? Maybe not something overused like the one Disney overuses, but maybe something Satie? This is a really cool video. And I love Rush. Thank you.
@vdrum1693 - Okay. Yeah. TYube are a bunch of assholes. For sure. It's getting way worse. The suits are starting to fuck with our internet now that is so huge and lucrative.
@vdrum1693 Hey, you got to witness something that us real drummers only get to hear about or read about, etc. Also, all one has to do to see the intelligence of others is read some of the dim wit postings on here...LOL....Thanks for posting your video man and keep on keepin' on!!!
@oldjizzy "THIS FUCKED MUSICAL SELECTION" AS YOU CALL IT IS A PRE-HISPANIC MELODY OF MY PEOPLE AND IS BASED ON OLD DRUMS I ASK YOU A LITTLE MORE RESPECT... NEIL ENJOYS THIS TYPE OF MUSIC @vdrum1693 has no idea about the style of music he was selecting
4:18 to 4:26...".Hey Lorne, I've been pretty busy back there and it's also time for my break. I'm gonna go over there and have some lunch." Lorne says, "Hurry back, we still have more work to do."
FYI: Red Rocks is a public park and on non-concert/event days anyone can get on stage and...well, do whatever. I've jammed a couple of times on that legendary stage to literally dozens of people. "Thank You Denver!" LOL
Man, he should get back to the roots - snappin' lil' jazz kit - you know, 24" marching bass drum, 3 1/2" snare, 14" tom and a bass drum-mounted 18" ride. That's all you really need - he could haul and set it up himself while cracking open a beer - finished, done.
@vdrum1693 LoL you're right. ^^ It could be that Peart does descend from the top with a harness but perhaps in a stadium instead? Sometimes people change their drum settings to fit the situation or environment, or songs. So perhaps for that video Live at Red Rocks he took something out or placed something in another position so he could move in. And perhaps relocate it when he's inside.
@duplacite I don't think so. His setup stays the same whether they play indoors our outdoors......besides....Rush doesn't play stadium shows (with the exception being the Toronto SARS benefit show), just ampitheaters and arenas. If you can find a video of him being hoisted in on a harness, I would love to see it. With all the videos on YouTube, you'd think there would be at least one. Good luck...you won't find it. I think ENOCH1611 is maybe thinking about Carl Palmer.
@vdrum1693 OK BRO,i know what i saw at 2112 concert,over thirty years ago.go figure,read my comment below to dipshit, and all you fucken know it alls tell me where you seen rush.last week.last year,ive followed this band frrom the beginning.later
you could have filmed MOSSES parting the red sea and it would'nt have held a candle to this. almost sacred vault footage to be gaurded by six knights with swords and dogs at the gate. " BEHOLD the masters kit"!!!!!!!
Exactly the opposite of what I would have expected. Lorne (Gump) Wheaton set up the microphones first, and set up the drums inside of them. But, I guess everything is memory-clamped. I think I saw John Arrowsmith (their pyro guy) helping with cables.
Rush spends a few weeks before each tour just practicing how to set up, play, and break down a show. They always use the same gear throughout the tour. They are not rich enough to do otherwise. (Neil's kit alone is above $50,000)
I like the fact that Rush doesnt use smoke and mirrors on their stage set up. Its simple but enough. Anyways Im there to see the masters play not watch them drip blood or spew fire outta their butts, coupled with huge explosions.....yuck
In the R-30 Tour Program Neil tells a funny story about how the Vapor Trails drum riser was destroyed just hours after the Rio concert. The riser was placed at on angle on a flatbed truck to be carried from the stage to the equipment trailers outside the stadium but the driver didn't think about the vertical dimensions of the door and "boom", off of the truck it went! Good thing it was the last show of the tour, and that Neil found it to be comical! :)
Just one guy to set up kit? I mean, all the other guys are lugging the stuff to the stage, but it looks like Lorne does all the work putting it together. Wow. That's some serious responsibility!
I feel sorry for these guys, big drumset, alot of work--but it's worth it for us... but least it ain't no Terry Bozio set, now that takes the longest time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@cluelessismyname I saw rush about 4 times in concert,and yes as a matter of fact he does decend from a harness into the middle of his drum set.very cool,best drummer ive ever seen,and ive been to around a hundred conerts.
Lmao I've seen Rush 23 times and never seen him enter his kit being dropped in on a harness. I want some of what youre on to have the same hallucination 4 times.
@ENOCH1611 rofl your saying they have to pick him up and place him in his drumset, your fucking stupid, i saw them last month, he walks out the back retard
@lucci97 ok bro.look your second fuckin guy to comment on my comment about this drummer,im almost 50 fuckin years old,i saw rush play at the capitol center in landover maryland during the 2112 concert ,ok this is over 30 fucken years ago,i know what i saw, on this tour at that concert peart was dropped in by a harness in his drum set,he did not crawl thru a hole in the back.the man was surrounded by over 200 piece drum set with all kinds of shit,i know what i saw then,i dont know about now. OK
I do agree with Golferal about the jello like movement. It seems that considering all the stands are legless and threaded it would make them top heavy once the toms and cymbals are mounted. Wonder if any of those threaded stands ever stripped along the way during a tour? Aside from that, a beutiful kit!
Except that if you watch while he's playing it looks like all of his drums are mounted in jello because they jiggle around so much. It's a clean and custom setup for sure but it's not as sturdy as a standard rack or good old fashion stands.
The drum tone from "exit stage left" is amazing. Those Tamas really sounded "thick, warm and round". These DW's sound like shit..the snare sounds good but the high toms sound thin. I wish he would use Tama again.
Even though Mike Portnoy's kit is bigger, i prefere Neil's as every tour he comes with a new unique design to his drums ... and he is a freakin legend!
Kid you must be COKED up like Frosty the Snowman..Doesn't matter who's drum set is bigger.....It's who sits behind them... Check out COBUS- Drum covers...Kid is fucking awesome...Jon Bonnium, Keith Moon, Neil Peart..
but we didnt talk about who sits behind drums but i want to see mike portnoy drum setting up..and i know cobus hes excellent but his covers were cut so 5/10 if not cut 10/10..... and neil preart is good yes he is but everyone has other favourite style so i dont know what do u talk about?! ok u think Portnoy is an shit but i dont think so..so funny i wanted to see his setting up and u think that i think neil peart is shit...anyway for me nail peart the best solos but my favourite drummer is MIke
I gave you the benefit of the doubt.. I checked out Dream Theatre's Erotomania video and the drummer looked scared to play and his drumming sucked ass..
I believe I am correct in saying that Rush only uses one set on their tours. Unlike a stadium sized production, Rush's show, while impressive, can still be comfortably erected and taken down in a day, allowing them to get by with one.
@vdrum1693 For the most part yes. The only time when bands will use more then one set of anything is when doing back to back shows covering quite a distance. Quite a few bands do that but only if it is necessary. Rush has some production but it scaled down compared to some bands i have seen.
I don't understand why they would break down the whole kit and rebuild it for every show? I would think by just removing the floor tomes, snare, cymbals and lose items and leave all the fastened items attached. Have the circular floor section and with everything else attached loaded into a crate.
I wish they had videos of Neil doing solos from teh old days,back on teh '75/'76 tours.That woudl be epic.he should really see if he can relase some old footage.
what kind of snare does he have?? i have a ocheltree heavy metal...14"x6.5....fucking AWESOME snare...i also have a chad smith snare...but the OTree is incredible.
I've worked with Rush's crew and they are about the best, most efficient bunch around...you have no clue what you are talking about Trommealvar. Ineffective? Gimme a break!
that's not really amazing, the unpacking building and tuneing and on this scale! would take ALOT, longer than to unpack it, 1 hour to break down a kit is a lot, i spend at least 35 mins on my kit at a gig to get it perfect, and taking it down takes maximum of 10, and my kit is nowhere near as big as this one! lol
my kit is a six piece, not as big as this.... by any means lmao, and i don't have a team to do it for me, i play at local venues, housing around 500, got a gig on th e18th of dec as band are on a break atm, but i'm now curious how long it takes for me to set it up and take it apart, get it tuned, and miced up, i will have to see, it might be quite a time lol.... i don't know haha, depends on weather i'm not interupted with other jobs lol. but drums are normally in tune before i go soo... yea lol
he is completely brilliant but ...no not the worlds best i wouldn't go that far...well maybe among the top three? yeah he's one of the 3 best drummers in the world. i can handle that. heheheh
note how the first minute was just one guy doing all the work... its neal peart people, come on, i cant think of anyone who wouldnt want to set up his drumset
I don't like disassembling my own drumset for band practices, and I only use a 4 piece kit. It'd take so much more work to assemble Neil Peart's kit! :D
If you look from 3:50 when the guy behind the drumset use Neil Peart's kick pedal,. Then it came a guy after him.. I wounder what the guy told the guy who used the pedal x)

Kid you must be COKED up like Frosty the Snowman..Doesn't matter who's drum set is bigger.....It's who sits behind them... Check out COBUS- Drum covers...Kid is fucking awesome...Jon Bonnium, Keith Moon, Neil Peart..
jortizj100 2 years ago
but we didnt talk about who sits behind drums but i want to see mike portnoy drum setting up..and i know cobus hes excellent but his covers were cut so 5/10 if not cut 10/10..... and neil preart is good yes he is but everyone has other favourite style so i dont know what do u talk about?! ok u think Portnoy is an shit but i dont think so..so funny i wanted to see his setting up and u think that i think neil peart is shit...anyway for me nail peart the best solos but my favourite drummer is MIke

How many stage set-ups did Rush have on this tour? Meaning, could they play in one city while another stage is set up & torn down in another city?
gowestward1 2 years ago
I believe I am correct in saying that Rush only uses one set on their tours. Unlike a stadium sized production, Rush's show, while impressive, can still be comfortably erected and taken down in a day, allowing them to get by with one.
vdrum1693 2 years ago
@vdrum1693 For the most part yes. The only time when bands will use more then one set of anything is when doing back to back shows covering quite a distance. Quite a few bands do that but only if it is necessary. Rush has some production but it scaled down compared to some bands i have seen.

Load in takes about 5 to 6 hours for most shows. Load out is about 2 hours at max. @gowestward1
TheMetaldrummer1987 1 year ago
I don't understand why they would break down the whole kit and rebuild it for every show? I would think by just removing the floor tomes, snare, cymbals and lose items and leave all the fastened items attached. Have the circular floor section and with everything else attached loaded into a crate.

I've worked with Rush's crew and they are about the best, most efficient bunch around...you have no clue what you are talking about Trommealvar. Ineffective? Gimme a break!

I understand it takes Lorne and his crew 2and a half HOURS to unpack, build, and tune this rig. Then. . .oddly. . .barely 1 hr to
break it down and pack it away. . .Amazing if true. . .
drandall1776 2 years ago
that's not really amazing, the unpacking building and tuneing and on this scale! would take ALOT, longer than to unpack it, 1 hour to break down a kit is a lot, i spend at least 35 mins on my kit at a gig to get it perfect, and taking it down takes maximum of 10, and my kit is nowhere near as big as this one! lol
JamesStorey09 2 years ago
How big is ur kit...and where do u play...u gotta tune or anything?
nysfinest10385 2 years ago
my kit is a six piece, not as big as this.... by any means lmao, and i don't have a team to do it for me, i play at local venues, housing around 500, got a gig on th e18th of dec as band are on a break atm, but i'm now curious how long it takes for me to set it up and take it apart, get it tuned, and miced up, i will have to see, it might be quite a time lol.... i don't know haha, depends on weather i'm not interupted with other jobs lol. but drums are normally in tune before i go soo... yea lol
JamesStorey09 2 years ago
its crazy...... all these band crew people know exactly the way he wants his drums set up. when my band and i perform i have to have it my way lol.
its not selfish, its just i have a lot of muscle memory

I don't like disassembling my own drumset for band practices, and I only use a 4 piece kit. It'd take so much more work to assemble Neil Peart's kit! :D
