neil's diversity, and complexity of working out the drab drum solo, and turning it into an actual rhythmic piece of music, is genius..he's a true musician,and percussionist and drummer..and innovator and pioneer of modern rock drumming , just as ringo and Bonzo did before him..drumming is not about tricks, chops and blinding speed and technique ..it's about musicality..krupa, rich, morello, roach, bellson,gadd all did this..so if you "drummers"out there think i'm wrong, i dare you to rebuttal !

i don't care what anyone says..neil peart is a master drummer, percussionist, showman, musician , lyricist, innovator , and all around great human being !! he took the drab, boring drum solo and made into something fun to watch and listen to !! long live the king of drums !! neil peart !
If you guys have ever studied Neil's lyrics, you know where his influences in objectivism come from. I'm no disciple of anyone, but I'm running a congressional campaign that will be based on those same philosophies. I'd be much obliged if you'd all critique my video's for my campaign.
PS I also put a few of my old guitar solo's in there for you.
This solo sucks ass, boring as hell. All I hear is xylophones and electronic drums and all kinds of weird shit. There's no real drums in there. Its ridiculous.
It's called percussion, ass hole. Drums and xylophones are in the same family, taking very similar skills. No, it's not your traditional drum solo, but still a solo none the less. For the record, Neil Pert is one of the best drummers of all time, and i consider you a musical blasphemer to utter such words. Please never voice your opinion again, it matters less than Pat Robertson's.
You know I really don't have a beef withNeil.Compared to all the shit metal drummers I'm arguing withand that puffed up mega overated Portnoy Peart is a blessing.
Not really Monnett. kickass has violated AA code and whetehr he admits to being anunclean member of AA or not he surely can't deny the civil violation of recovering sober code. Ypou just don't say hey so and so is a drunk. Look how he emphasises my name over and over but won't reveal anything about himself. Very uncool. I don't believe he's credible drummer whatsoever at this point either. I do believe he's wannabe body builder homosexual.
solo or not, peart is still the best drummer of our time, yes we have portnoy and other prog drummers, and there way many more good drummers in other genres but i do believe that peart deserves his respect when playing this solor, i mean it is HIS solo so...well he is going to play it.
I love Neil but he seriously needs to get another ostinato. The waltz is getting a bit long in the tooth. And I can't say I like the electronic sounds he's chosen for this part of his solo.
Hey everyone, rrdrums (Jeff Jones) is more talented than first thought. He knows more about myself than I do! That's a pretty awesome talent wouldn't you say? Hey Jeff, which hand do I hold my dick with when I piss? Go do something productive you 57 year old nobody. Go become obsessed with somebody else. You are a strange dude. Go get some help!!!!
Yes you are. You toldme you were many months ago. Now all of a sudden because you violated the principle you denounce . Like that's going to clean up your mess!!!

He can't seem to stop publishing my birth name full well knowing that rrdrums (me) has admitted to being a recovering alchoholic on many posts over the last months. You are truly an unclean member of AA Kickassdrummer. You know that you have harmed me on purpose.Shame on you dude
Tell me why the Buddy Rich Memorial didn't have him back and you'll get the talent level of MR Peart. He is only good for Rush and cannot play effective big band. get it?
this video isn't really a good display of what neil peart can do or what kind of musician he is. i think he's simplified the drumming here to make it more accessible for all the non-music people in the crowd. i do agree with keepntyme that there are a lot of drummers who could probably play neil peart under the table, but he's survived playing his music for so long now and influenced so many people. and he deserves respect for that.
I completely disagree. I think this particular drum solo even displays more of his diversity. Neil is a constant student who who will learn and master new drumming styles well into his 80s. Ive seen rush 11 times dating back to 1982 and every drum solo is brilliant in its own way. This drum solo is more simplified yes but it doesnt take away from the mastery of it still.....Joey jordison and travis barker suck by the way. They have no creativity in their drumming.
@asdfjklasdfjklish I like Barker a lot but I don't think he played drums two days after the crash unless someone held a drum beside his bed and he wacked it.
LA Times:
Barker, 32, who not only played drums in the platinum-selling band but also starred in his own MTV reality show, and Goldstein, 35, known as DJ AM and the owner of the Hollywood hot spot LAX, were in critical but stable condition Saturday at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., said hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits.
Wisdom would council us to learn from each source (drummer) existing in order to be able to enjoy a diversity and improve our own playing thereby, Which is to say, learn from everyone instead of trying to define your own self according to so and so drummer
This is the best drum solo ever, when i went to see them i didnt move for lik the 8 mins he was playing... i some guy nearly pissed himself next to me but he didnt want to leavev
Its all about how you play and not necessarily what you play. Although it is pretty amazing to keep this kind of timing, the audiences attention, and the diversity going this well! There are probably more drummers playing because of Peart then anyone out there. Or maybe Ringo, and he is no Buddy Rich but a lot of people like him. Thousands of amazing drummers, Would be terrible if we only had 5 of the most technical guys out there.
I just prefer drummers to strike drums and cymbals not sucky ass wood blocks and marimbas? That's lionel hampton's gig. As far as the 17 year old idiot that thinks carl palmer plays like a 6 year old. How many time did carl palmer top drummer annual polls like a dozen consecutive you complete dumbass.
haha, if Neil peart sucked, why was he asked to play at buddy rich memorial? I bet you are some 18 yrs old kid that lives in your mommy's basement,just picked up drums recently, and know only a handful of professional drummers.
you also lack musicality and believe that doing blastbeats on drums and cymbals is the coolest thing ever
There just isn't any substance coming out of this overated toad. No chops no imagination lousy sounds and marimbas? Go watch Buddy Rich or Billy cobham or carl palmer blow this buffoons doors off and quit bugging me about how good he is. He Suuuuuuuuuuuucks
rrdrums your a fucking retard jus because he isnt playing fast doesnt mean he isnt talented number two he has talent then you do in one fucking finger number 3 you clearly dont know the difference between a drummer with 50 years of experience vs a 6 year old randomly beating on the drums.

What do all these bullshit sounds have to do w/drumming and couldn't he at least try to play the b/s sounds fast like a good drummer. Oh that's right he's playing as fast as the old turd can go. what alaugh. I quit watching. Is he going to go into his wood block section and marimba. Man oh man what athrill that will be. Just listened to a 60+ year old buddy rich tear the arms off this overated homosexual canadian asstard.rush and peart won't be mentioned in thirty years like buddy and others
whats wrong with wood blocks and marimbas? Neil is extremely talented, and you think he has no speed? You really are out of your mind...and you are extremely close-minded. If you appreciated music you really wouldn't be putting down one of the greatest drummers to ever live.

Yes God forgive them they know not what they listen to. He's average but modern drummer is doing what they are supposed to do. Sell gear. So they know who the kids will buy if endorsed by. that's all that he's about. Someday when most of you groupies quit and most of you will and some of you continue and really check out the ancients who started all of this you will see. Guys like buddy rich carl Palmer billy cobham many more still and will still be on youtube not neil.Not a timeless player

What do you have be less than 18 to comment in here?Or less than 2 years at playing.Cause after a couple of hard years of playing you don't idolize b/s drummers like this.
are you fucking kidding me?! Peart may be the dummers that a lot of beginners turn to, but he is by all means fucking amazing. He is the professional.
This guy is great, he knows his roots, and drumming roots in general . He may be old, but I think hes actually gotten better since his younger days. Especially if you compare him and rush to other bands. Some of those older guys are just.. pieces of shit today. Ever heard any of Axel Rose's new stuff? Its like rock with the soul sucked right out of it
what u mean axel roses's new stuff? Guns n Roses wasnt Axel... it was guns n roses... now its axel and random guys under the name of guns n roses sucking da balls tryin to earn some money playin bullcrap mainstream music
yes he is geting better cuz he is always taking lessons for something new, I heard hes taking a more sped up type of jazz similar to Buddy Rich who I think his is idol but im not shure
self interest? if you play drums, this is YOUR GOD! you stupid ass....if you can't learn from this guy, then i guess u get one hit wonders all your life. man....people are so biased when it comes to perfection....i guess that's why we have brittney spears and rap winning grammys....even though they take from "other people".....i want to kill every negative statement poster in here. that's just sad. he's old yeah, but guess what?...play your rockband2 against HIM......no contest, jelous fucks!
whats with that fuckin loud asshole in the audience that keeps saying "NEIL PEART" not even cheernig him on just saying his name, someone should punch that fuckin douche in his mouth and piss on him when hes on the groud crying
Hey kids, listen to some Buddy Rich. That was Neils influence. Then check out Neils web site. The professor by far. RUSH, the most under rated band in the galaxy of cygnus X 1. Check out there solo projects, Very impressive
waaahhh! all the jazz snubs jealous of neil and the attention he gets..? I could give to snowball in hell whether neil could play "yawn" jazz...Im a drum expert..neil sucks man and joey "fill in the blank" knows how to groove...who gives afu---k..majority of fans rather watch neil hit a tom once then some pompous jazzwipe...drum on neil!!!!
u misunderstood! I love Rush and neil..just tired of the jazz snubs making comments how some no name jazz drummer is so much better..nobody gives a shit about them, Secondly neil himself does not claim to be the best. I know one thing for sure. Hes drumming during the songs IMO is where he really shines.. Id like to see the "experts "
play secret touch like neil.. I dont they could.. tired of the jealousy and pissing matches on u-tube
I understand what you're saying about arguments and insults on Youtube, and I agree. I think everyone should take a logic class in school. Maybe then we'd have less bickering and name-calling, and more intelligent conversation and debate!
I haven't watched or commented on very many RUSH videos on Youtube (I already have many of their albums), so I'll just take your word for it about the "jazz snubs." People need to broaden their horizons a little bit, I think. As for Neil, he may not claim to be the best, or even one of the best, due to his respectful modesty, but his fans know he's up there :)
Well Said, I've Been Listening To Rush For About 3 Years Now And I've Been Playing Drums For About 8 Years. And I Can Honestly Say That I've Learned More In Those 3 Years Than I Have In The Other 6. Rush Is A Great Live Band, And Niel Is One Of The Best In My Mind. And I Think The Best Players Are The Ones Who Don't Think They're That Good.
Listen to the albums, moving pictures , signals, 2112,and many more by rush,and you all will hear the real talent of neil peart (canada`s drummer) best in the world
everyone who says anyone is better than niel because they they are rly fast...is and rtard look and he could go faster than them probably to..look at the yyz video! hes fricken awsome!
And id rather listen to his music then some evil emo screamo music
travis barker is a talentless piece of crap that only knows how to hit drums real hard. my little brother is four years old, I'm teaching him drums and he is already better than travis.
i'm sorry to say. but your 4 year old brother clearly isn't better then travis. he is a great drummer, has a amazing talent and knows what he's doing. you clearly aren't as good or nearly as good as him either by the sounds of it. you never will be, i know niel is a better drummer. but travis is still pretty damn amazing.
Yeah i agree with you. Travis barker is a great drummer. he has lots of skill (and i like him overall more then niel) but clearly niel Peart is a better drummer. his set also helps him out alot to. i think if travis used a set like niel he would get way better (not as good as niel though)
Whenever Peart does his solos, I whip out my copy of "Atlas Shrugged" and contemplate rational self interest and the moral superiority of capitalism. Then, when I leave the show, I pee on a homeless person, because, you know, they like, deserve it or something. Woooo! Rock and roll! Peart, you rule man! Waaaahooooo! And Milton Freedman! You rule too! AAAAAAAAAAWOOOOOOOOO!
"comtemplating self interest "or capatalism by every mean has nothing to do with peart. he jst wanted to sound smart by using words he thought ppl wouldnt understand.
Lot of the rhythms he uses are ethnic, from different African tribes and mixed with western style drumming. Oh, and he has some of the most organized drum solo's on the planet, not just random speed or tom work, so up your arse, or however the hell you say it.

You'll never find a husband being sarcastic. Maybe its a style difference, but I like the rev better. This guys bores me. Do something interesting already!
I would never think that any drummer "smokes Peart". It's like saying heart surgeons make better orthopedic surgeons. .they're all masters at what they do.
I listed jazz musicians, who DO smoke Peart...Peart IS a master at what he does BEST...Which is ROCK...not jazz...He is mediocre at best in the world of jazz...The best jazz drummers in the world always make the best rock drummers in the world look silly when it comes to skills...FACT
...gothcha. Which is probaby why he plays rock because that's where his roots lie. However, many drummers will venture out and play other types of music. Like Michael Jordan playing baseball! That was interesting.
valid point...And I am not slamming Peart. I do respect the man for trying anything that he does. I guess that if this wasn't Neil Peart, it wouldn't be worth viewing...And Michael Jordan in baseball WAS interesting indeed! LOL
now...how do you measure skill ? as the ability to play something complex and insane chops? or the creativity and imagination to do something different and inspire later creations? wich i believe Peart did in his own time... creating something new.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol you cant be serious Jazz drummers and rock drummer? Jazz first off sucks... its aweful not to mention the drumming in it... rock drummers blow ANY jazz drummers away Neil is the best drummer to live other than Led Zeppelin's drummer
Csnake...Your age is showing (23?). Clearly you have that juvenile "tunnel-vision" regarding rock versus jazz. It's fine that you don't like jazz, but you are obviously clueless on skills and abilities. I assure you that drummers like Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Calaiuta, the late greatest of all time, Buddy Rich, and countless other jazz greats absolutely SMOKE Peart...Even Neil admits to that! Open your eyes child!
lol just because im 23 doesnt mean i dont know jazz... ive listened to jazz for more than half my life along with rock and i can tell you NO(ABSOLUTLEY NONE) drummer that is in a jazz group (aka shit) can compete with a rock drummer
Well, you have gotten to that point child....The Stupid Zone...Do you realize that Neil Peart himself acknowledges he he not even close to Buddy Rich's league? Also, the drummers I mentioned before are only 5 of the greatest drummers that ever lived...TO put it simply (just for you CHILD), I can do a whole lot of Neil Peart on my drums...When I watch the greatest jazz drummers, I can only shake my head in awe of their clearly superior skills....Go learn something would ya? You're boring me!
SteelyDug, if your sooo "Good" why don't you use your self proclaimed talent and make the same money as Peart? we have NEVER heard of you play...just your word on it. Just admit Peart is good and there may be other just as good.
I have stated the truth...Truth is Peart is over the hill, and has become very repetitious. There are many drummers out there better than him. Just because you want to sleep with him, and have tunnel-vision doesn't change the facts. Deal with it
If you can't handle facts, that's your problem. You are clearly lacking in musical knowledge, particularly regarding drums. You are just another mindless Peart fan that is incapable of recognizing all the superior talent that is out there. Just a waste of text on a monitor. I am done with you child. Does Mommy know you are on her computer?
Once again you have said all that too, nice vocabulary range old man. Ok where is all this superior talent,not to many like him in the main stream. Paice? Ya you & your butt buddy already mentioned that too, but where in the hell has he been since the 21st. century?
Hey muttville! Mommy let you back on the computer again? or are you sneaking behind her back? As I have said many times, Peart is one of the greatest ROCK drummers ever, but his act has gotten boring. The BEST drummers in the world are the high end jazz drummers, like Weckl, Chambers, Cobham, Calaiuta, etc. Rock drummers can't touch that in skills
bws4life21. If you wish to participate, at least pay attention! I have never once said that Rock is boring...I have been a rock drummer most of my life. I HAVE, on the other hand, said that Peart is getting boring, and THAT is a fact...
you know steely your lack of musical knowledge makes you seem quite childish...neil is without a doubt in the top 10 rock drummers of all time. He is a true musician...and his solo's represent the history of drumming...you dolt.
96maggot...If you pay attention, I have said that Peart is one of the greatest ROCK drummers of all time....But he simply (and self-admittedly) cannot keep up with the jazz greats, and now he is even getting repetitious in ROCK...Age will do that sometimes
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Very boring............He can't play double bass to save his life HaHaHa......He can't play his cymbals worth a shit either....Ian Paice is better than this guy....
Now what? Neil should think about retirement...That's what...He does the same old thing every time, and there are countless drummers out there better than him...Get over it
There is always someone better in everything in life & if you knew anything about drumming (which you obviously don't) this whole solo is brand new for this tour as well being adlibbed in the first portion every night. & as far as retirement is concerned why when your making great money,have legions of fans & genuinely enjoy what you do for a living. Your favorite vids. says it all about your personality; ignorant bitter old pervert who doesn't enjoy his own life so bash others who do.
if you'll notice most of the comments around here, Peart's act is growing old and tiresome. Just because you have tunnel-vision and apparently would love to sleep with Neil, doesn't hide the fact that he's not what he used to be..And by the way, I've been a drummer for many years and can easily do what Peart does
Oh please spare me your insight.Everyone here has there own opinion so be it, but they are no doubt the minority.& who doesn't age or may not be as sharp as they once were in their youth at least he's out there doing it. Also from what I've read about you if anyone wants to sleep with him it would be you homosexual + if you have any chops at all they are no where neil's level,unsight or sound I guarantee it!
I am done with you child....you are a waste of text. I'll bet you're a riot at work, flipping those burgers, so go tell Mommy it's nappy time and get off of her computer...I'm done toying with you child
Good solo, but nothing we haven't heard from Neil before.(excluding the different sounds he triggers) He's been playing the same song on the marimba for twenty one years, (Momo's Dance Party) and the same conga part from Scars for at least ten. He mixes it up a little here and there, but not like he used to. The "pieces of eight" part of the solo, I found rather boring.(here come the "can you play it?" comments)Yes I can. Anyway- I can't wait to see Rush in July,when they play at SPAC. Rock On!
I was there! This was the first (and only) time RUSH played The Hollywood Bowl. By the time Neil did this solo I had about 1/2 of my bottle of Cabernet ingested! Ya gotta love The Bowl!
I agree with gatorfan...have mad respect for the man but his solo's have really gone downhill since the 80's. I would give anything to see the Signal's era Peart throw down.
Neil Peart is my all-time favorite (rock) drummer. He has inspired me even before I knew how to play drums, BUT I have to say (with regret) that I'm getting tired of his solos. It pains me to say it, but there are many other drummers out there that I would rather hear do a solo. Don't get me wrong, I still respect the man for his talent and creativity in his music, but everything since his benchmark performance in YYZ has been a bit disappointing----to me.
Neil Pearts solos are very intense. Very awesome! It's like that he's his own drummer. He can play the Xylophone and cow bells to his drumming which gives an amazing effect. I like how he combines different percussion instruments to give a unique "Peart" sound to all of his solos.

Ive seen rush 11 times dating back to 1982 and every drum solo is brilliant in its own way. This drum solo is more simplified yes but it doesnt take away from the mastery of it still.....Joey jordison and travis barker suck by the way. They have no creativity in their drumming.

@asdfjklasdfjklish I like Barker a lot but I don't think he played drums two days after the crash unless someone held a drum beside his bed and he wacked it.
LA Times:
Barker, 32, who not only played drums in the platinum-selling band but also starred in his own MTV reality show, and Goldstein, 35, known as DJ AM and the owner of the Hollywood hot spot LAX, were in critical but stable condition Saturday at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., said hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits.

Its all about how you play and not necessarily what you play. Although it is pretty amazing to keep this kind of timing, the audiences attention, and the diversity going this well! There are probably more drummers playing because of Peart then anyone out there. Or maybe Ringo, and he is no Buddy Rich but a lot of people like him. Thousands of amazing drummers, Would be terrible if we only had 5 of the most technical guys out there.

I just prefer drummers to strike drums and cymbals not sucky ass wood blocks and marimbas? That's lionel hampton's gig.

I haven't watched or commented on very many RUSH videos on Youtube (I already have many of their albums), so I'll just take your word for it about the "jazz snubs." People need to broaden their horizons a little bit, I think. As for Neil, he may not claim to be the best, or even one of the best, due to his respectful modesty, but his fans know he's up there :)

Well Said, I've Been Listening To Rush For About 3 Years Now And I've Been Playing Drums For About 8 Years. And I Can Honestly Say That I've Learned More In Those 3 Years Than I Have In The Other 6. Rush Is A Great Live Band, And Niel Is One Of The Best In My Mind. And I Think The Best Players Are The Ones Who Don't Think They're That Good.

Good solo, but nothing we haven't heard from Neil before.(excluding the different sounds he triggers) He's been playing the same song on the marimba for twenty one years, (Momo's Dance Party) and the same conga part from Scars for at least ten. He mixes it up a little here and there, but not like he used to. The "pieces of eight" part of the solo, I found rather boring.(here come the "can you play it?" comments)Yes I can. Anyway- I can't wait to see Rush in July,when they play at SPAC. Rock On!

Neil Peart is my all-time favorite (rock) drummer. He has inspired me even before I knew how to play drums, BUT I have to say (with regret) that I'm getting tired of his solos. It pains me to say it, but there are many other drummers out there that I would rather hear do a solo. Don't get me wrong, I still respect the man for his talent and creativity in his music, but everything since his benchmark performance in YYZ has been a bit disappointing----to me.
csrgatorfan 4 years ago
Neil Pearts solos are very intense. Very awesome! It's like that he's his own drummer. He can play the Xylophone and cow bells to his drumming which gives an amazing effect. I like how he combines different percussion instruments to give a unique "Peart" sound to all of his solos.
