  • peart and danny carey are my favorite drummers.

  • The best thing that ever came out of canada!

  • Neil has mad skills..... no one can match him! Someone mentioned Carter from DMB and I agree he too is very good.

  • YEAH HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH MY MAN WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO ALL YOU FUCKING WANNABEES WATCH MY MAN.......DONT WATCH NEIL IF YOU A LOSER AND WANNA PUT HIM DOWN HES THE VERY BEST AND all these fuckbrains FUCK YOU

  • @tsgb2016 You love Neal...awesome. Now, shut the fuck up.

  • YEAH HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH MY MAN WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO ALL YOU FUCKING WANNABEES WATCH MY MAN

  • YEAH HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH MY MAN WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO

  • 17 people are retarded

  • dont forget missing persons

  • Neil Peart is like the Max Roach of rock and roll.

  • Carter Beauford id better

  • How many bass drums does he have in his kit?

  • take into consideration the size to the kit and the timing of the shit, Neil is awesome, just look deeper

  • never liked this drummer

  • I wonder if Neil's solos are planned, or if they're just kinda discovered and felt as he's playing. Either way it's amazing

  • Good. But he's no Charlie Watts

  • @dannyd1572 are you kidding me?

    rolling stones drummer is no where near neal pearts skill

    charlie licks neils balls and says im a little better now.

  • @8Zeitgeist It takes Charlie four drums to make the same sound Neil is making with about twenty. This is a solo. Just because a drummer can play a mean solo doesn't mean he's a great drummer. You got to have that tightness like CHarlie or looseness if your a drummer like Ringo. What Neil is doing here is so trivial. It's what every drummer wants to do when he gets his first kit. However, it does nothing to teach them to play drums. Good drummer..still...no Charlie.

  • @dannyd1572 how many times am i allowed to vote down to this?

  • lol comparing rush to korn is like trying to compare a tiger to a dog..

  • Canada=Win (We Spawnd Neil Peart)

  • He's really old now man :( looks like he barely gets any rest but he's still full of energy and still could jam

  • Comment removed

  • ojlikhy olikjugfbvpo[;likujgbv polikhjv ikujhb sorry had to wipe the jizz of my keyboard

  • which tones does he play on the xylophone?

  • @AHillFL I didnt even read the comments.. But seriously, did someone actually try to compare Neil Peart.... With the drummer from Korn..??? ..... THat just shows how absolutely retarded this generation is. Wow. I'm not even gonna bother reading any comments.. Itll just piss me off.

  • he....is....a.....GOD!!!!!!!!!­

  • @AHillFL THANK YOU!!! IT'S FREAKING BLASPHEMY TO EVEN COMPARE TERRY BOZZIO TO NEIL PERT! NEIL IS GOD WITH DRUMSTICKS AND SHALL FOREVER REMAIN THAT WAY!

  • Best Drummer ever

  • LOVE IT DUDE WOW ;)

  • sorry to break it to all the mainstream people who think that neil peart is the best drummer in the world but he isn't even close

    check out tony royster jr, mike orris jr, aaron spears, thomas lang, jerome flood and there are so so so many other i could go on all day

    just do the slightest bit of research

  • @tayweeboy and thats only technically wise, you can go see more creative people like gavin harrison ( which also has amazing technical skills ) max roach, steve gadd and so on

  • Comment removed

  • he has a retard face

  • Neil playing this is like a person breathing. It comes wicked naturally

  • Neil is a superb drummer, no question about it. But before anyone starts getting in a pissing match over who wears the crown, they better get educated about drummers. Start with Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Marvin Smith, and Dennis Chambers and work your way outward.

  • I used to be the biggest Rush fan ever, for over 20 years....Until Tool came along. Now looking back on this, man,the drumming wasnt all thatI remember it to be. I do appreciate the lyical content, always about something cool. Rush has its place in musical history for damn sure. I just wish they would have evovled to newer style music and left the keyboards behind.

  • @scooterss2112 You havent heard the new single "Caravan" Then :)

    and if they abandoned this drumming, this style--they wouldnt be rush at all. rush needs to be rush. not everyone eltse!

  • @chibacca1

    ahh i see diabetic or other?

  • @chibacca1

    srynge???

    and just what would you be using that for hmmm....???

  • @chibacca1

    so i say stop bothering comparing these living (and other wise RIP kieth,bonham) legends you realy cant bonham had speed unlike the others keith....had keith unlike the others(lol) and pert is the proffesor, so i say kick back with a drink or a joint what ever your prefferance and injoy the music of these fine masters.

  • @chibacca1

    oh Keth was awsome but i think niel is more technical and persise (yup spelling sucks damn gloves lol) but keith,bonham,and neil are the three (at least for me) maybe chick web oh yea and theres that one guy cant think of his name (if you know it please tell me) that was doing drum shows by himself when he was like 12, but yea to me they are the ones you cant realy compare to each other cuz i can say well he does this better but then the other can do that and so on

  • @chibacca1 What is your proof that Keith Moon is better??? Just look at the complexity of Peart's drum, that is if you watch the entire video. Moon is flashy but I think in terms of technique, Peart wins cause he gets even better with age and he even uses a xylophone or a lyre.

  • I feel like this is an adaptation of Keith Moon's drum solo but overall, I feel Peart was a better style and he doesn't go too wild like Moon.

  • at the end of the day, Neil always wins!

  • now i know they are of differant styls but the only person i could compare neil to would be john bonam(dont know if thats how you spell it)

    but he is one of few i have seen play at the caliber neil does.

  • i hate it when the camera guy is on crack

  • how can you even compare korn or travis barker to neil pert? show's how little you know except what mtv tells you is good..

  • There is no question Neil is a very accomplished drummer

    You know what they say, practice makes perfect

    peace :)

  • 5:15 "OMG a spinning drum..!!" LMAO

  • neil peart is the man

  • DUDE!!is he forseriously your uncle???

  • thanks...he's a pretty cool man

  • He's really your uncle?

  • why the fuck r u guys talking about fucking guns and roses and bozio or what ever its about neil Perk not fucking gnr ya slah is good and shit but just fucking stop starting shit on the internet

  • @cls12345678 learn how to spell, dumb kid

  • lolz

  • Neil Peart ... legend .. kick ass drummer .. greatest drummer of all time! Yehhh!

  • @EMBOBZ2112 i beg to differ

  • @KEN117MC

    oh do you?

  • Bozzio is a decent drummer...

    ...until Neil shows up.

  • Just fucking AWESOME!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Chinese Democracy is a great album.

  • omfg reading these comments is ridiculous how can you even compare neil peart and terry bozzio. first of all two completely different genres of music and second of all korn has like 2 maybe 3 good songs. honestly why cant you just enjoy this amazing display of musicianship and stop saying other people are better because if tyhats what you think then why the hell are you watching this video...

  • @AHillFL I don't care too much for Bozzio. His solos from the 80's when he had that long ass hair are a joke. Neil has been pumping out 10 times better shit than Bozzio ever has. Gotta love Neil. He's insane.

  • @AHillFL Terry Bozzio only played on one Korn thing. He's gained his reputation as a solo artist. You're right that people shouldn't compare, it just peeves me when someone says Bozzio and someone else says Korn. They're both pioneers of melodic drumming and both masters.

  • @AHillFL Just so you know, dude... Terry Bozzio has done a SHIT-TON more things than just Korn.

  • @AHillFL Terry Bozzio was made famous as being the drummer for Frank Zappa...

  • @tehxGuardian and being famous for being one of the best drummers along with neil

  • @AHillFL Yeah you say that while critizing a band, saying they are less of musicans than onether band, which is what people are doing here but with drummers, and you tell them not to. SO congratulations you're a hypocrite

  • @AHillFL well said my friend to many idiots on here that have no fuckin sense there jealous thats all...If they don't like Neil and think others are better, why watch him...awesome vid my friend thanks for sharing....love neil and RUSH PERIOD!!! FUCK THE OTHER COMMENTS.....

  • @AHillFL

    wawawawwa waaaaiit did someone compared neil peart to terry bozzio 0.o ZOMFG thats just idiotic stupid irrational out of common sense i dont believe you theres no living human that would make such a stupid mistake -.-'

  • you call guns and roses real singing?... its more of whining.. oh and the musicianship is repetitive as fuck slash is good and everything but thats about it in that band.

  • my opinion exactly. Have you heard Chinese Democracy? Terrible album, the only one left in G'n'R (of the band as we know it) is Axl and its just... really sad... 95% of the solos dont even fit with the song.

  • @nisxaS - The drummer on Chinese Democracy is Brain. Brain is one bad ass drummer. Look him up.

  • anyone that hates on my uncle, can go to hell...hes an amazing drummer..and lyricist...

  • yea and if anyone hates on my black cousin jimi hendrix can go get fucked

  • right.......funny thing is....he really is my uncle...lol

  • then you wont like Yngwie Malmsteen

  • His lyrics are juvenole and can be written in one afternoon by my 12 year old nephew or anyone of his friends.

  • the lyrics are amazing you dumbass your nephew can't make lyrics better than guns and roses and their lyrics suck ass

  • Hahaha I just noticed at 3:54 Neil actually makes a face.....lol

  • kneil peart didnt have the best set-up, look at terry bozzio's!

  • @MrChickenLegs27 you are retarded....learn how to spell.

  • @MrCjswee Sorry about that stupid comment, That was a long time ago... I don't even remember posting that.

  • And when it comes down the line and we target you for the subject, i'd call you a idiotic dumbass that doesn't know a thing about Neil Peart and what he's accomplished and overcome.

  • what does overcoming anything have to do with talent? he is more like Animal from the Muppets than a real drummer. He couldn't carry Terry Bozio's drumsticks!

  • So your saying it's not a talent to still spill out song lyrics and still play music and carry on when you've lost 2 loved ones in the course of 1 month. If you think otherwise the only words i have to describe you is sick and foolish.

  • Uh like stop shaking the camera?

  • You can't find "the BEST" drummer in the world, there isnt anyone who can claim that title:P

    But you can find GREAT drummers. So stop arguing over who's the best drummer

  • Neil, Buddy Rich, Jojo Mayer, Keith Moon, they're all great. My favourite would definitely have to go to Neil, though.

  • yea, those are your favourites ;)

    And it's OK for people to have favourites, but will never find "the best" drummer :P

  • Most ppl cant tell a good drum solo from a lousy one. Basically every time somebody plays an "exciting" solo ppl think its the best drum solo ever.

    I mean, listen to the crowd in this vid when he gets on the cowbell - technique really doesnt make much different to the average listener. All they hear is a drum solo, which either is or isn't exciting, and imho Neil's generally aren't.

  • u guys are all ignorant assholes

    if u knew anything about him u would know that in interviews he says that he looks very serious but hes actually having fun and hes an amazing drummer

  • The reason he looks miserable is because he lost his wife and daughter all in a years time. that could be the reason.

  • that wouldnt make someone relly happy or excited

  • i heard no bass (might be my computer butwhateve) fuck i could do that and i barely play

  • He was definitely the best in his time and still is awesome.But just like Buddy Rich ,way before Neil,there is so much talent out there and the best place to view this is right here on you tube...

  • he's either pretty grumpy as an old man or he has a natural frown

  • u guys dont know shit about drumming, do you?

  • I agree, at best he's average, but ur average gig attender is easy to impress

  • Luck is the only sane explanation of why this dude is still banging on his coconuts the same way for 30years. Self indulgent and boringass style that does nothing to impress fine drummers.

  • "Those who know nothing can understand nothing" - chill man. there's no need to start bullshit over youtube over your personal opinion of a drummer, now is there? and waddya mean "fine drummers" are you one of these?

  • I totally agree with rrdrums

    "...banging on his coconuts", love that!!

  • "Why so serious?" xD he plays awesome but he doenst seem to enjoy it at all!

  • Brionman is correct. NP is just a lucky good/average drummer that made it big in an even luckier band. God knows why they are so liked w/mediocre songs, horrible singing.average lyrics,boring guitar(what's that guy's name?)and this for a drum solo for 50 years nightly. It's so underwhelming it's ridiculous. To think drmmers of non playing talent keep idolizing this guy instesd of moving ahead talentwise. Go practice on your guitar hero pads some more little nobody's.Keep idolizing you twits.

  • are u fuking kidding me? maybe u think that neil peart its an average drummer? lol i can see u dont know shit... u probably think that the best drummer out there must be the guy from green day or something like that.. i feel bad for u

  • @AndlopezRod exactly....i love when teenyboppers tell me travis barker is the best ever too..

  • it appears showmanship overcomes talent nowadays..

  • neil peart, gil moore, john bonham,and of course the late keith moone from the who best drummers in the world

  • Whoopedey fucking doo doo Batman this guy is average. Off nite? No. They all sound like this. He's lucky Rush caught on cause he would have had zip for a career. Too bad cause Rush ain't shit either.

  • Dear Mr rrsoldrums110, thank fuck they all sound like this!!!.....And this is the reason RUSH caught on. Don't forget he writes all the lyrics for the band as well. When can we all expect to see your effort on youtube?

  • lol dude Neil Peart wasn't really lucky, he is a good drummer, and even better for when rush became famous, ur comparing him to drummers from now.

  • Dude, Ask most drummers today, who todays best drummers are, and they will either tell its either Niel Peart or Mike Portnoy. I heard some of these new great drummers of today and they are awesome. But they don't have the mastery that Niel has. Niell can litterally play one base double base style.  He can play faster and with more authority over all these other drummers, that you feel are so awesome. The guy owns them non stop. There is nothing average about Niel peart.

  • @Riptidescool YES! THANK YOU! Everybody today is all about Joey Jordison and Travis Barker. They're alright. But hands down NOT the best! Neil makes a 5 piece sound like it's one of his huge ass sets. I don't know much about Portnoy though. I've heard he's good though. Other than Neil, in my opinion, Dave Grohl kicks ass. but you can't compare the two of them. Two different genres and styles. Buddy Rich was killer too.

  • @FighterOfFoo284 Amen Brother, By the way, I am Riptidescool, My computer crashed like 6 months ago and I couldn't get back in unless got a new name. I think the best drummer Iv'e ever seen was Buddy Rich. His drum rolls sounds like a solid sound. His drum Solos are unique. Niel Peart is definitely in my top 5 drummers.

  • @Tom6093 Yeah, I'm a diehard Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins fan but I always love me a little Buddy Rich and Neil Peart. hahaha.

  • @FighterOfFoo284 travis barkar is a pencil neck faggot i hate when people even mention him as a good drummer...hes a punk its all about neil and danny carrey

  • @infamous119 Yeah. I'm starting to respect Travis a little. He has a good basis.

  • @Riptidescool Your username says I'm cool, XD

  • @xRiptide441x and your name says I'm 441x ? What the hell. My new name is Tom something so don't worry bout it

  • @Riptidescool agreed, but Portnoy has nothing on Neil. Lombardo comes close but does not win.

  • @Riptidescool

    I agree with you Dude!! No one can match the master of the skins like Neil. I prefer the smooth rthymn of Neil' work rather than the thundering of Portnoy. (my opinon) Do you know how Neil got so good (aside from experience?) He had the world's greatest drummer who ever lived as a mentor Buddy Rich! Look him up and you'll see what I mean. Look up buddy rich ed shaunghnessy drum battle Man! The skins are fire Check it out!

  • @lonewulf2066 Yeah, I saw Buddy Rich 2 years before he passed away. Best drummer I ever heard.  Alot of these Jazz drummers are underated and shouldn't be. Niel Peart actually did a tribute concert for Buddy Rich.

  • @Riptidescool Gavin Harrison is better than Portnoy

  • @Oxpost Hey oxpost, This is Riptidescool, My computer died so I changed my name toTom6093. To tell you the truth ? I don't know who he is Never saw his name on todays top 100 drummers.

  • @Tom6093 Search his name on youtube.. He's the best in the world right now, according to me! And don't trust lists too much. I read one list with Lars Ulrich being the 38th best in the world. That's just wrong! He shouldn't be on such a list at all

  • This was a clear off-night for Neil. Even still he was brilliant. When you set your bar to above all, you still outshine the rest when you come close.

  • There are a lot of technical, fast impressive drummers. What sets Neil apart and in the same way Bonham is what they do for a song. That is really what makes a great drummer. Flash can impress any one.

  • No, but have you ever heard of a canadian drummer named Neil Peart? Hes pretty fricken good.

  • Your right, sure solo's are cool, but its not the solo's that makes someone the a good drummer. And Neil isn't nessicarily the best. ( I know I spelt that wrong.) Because people have different unique styles of drumming.

  • I have never understood the godlike status that everybody bestows on Neil.He is a fine player and has endured personal tragedies that would have crippled most people.Nobody wants to hear anyone criticize their Gods and I'm no different but....when I watch a video of Virgil or Mangini or Lang and someone posts a comment like "He's good but Neil Peart is better"I have to chuckle because these guys drummers would eat Mr. Peart for breakfast.Ever hear of a Canadian drummer named Paul DeLong ?..

  • Manka 06. Yeah bring it up. You are right. the problem w/most metalheads is that they have been molested or mistreated and now resort to violent music for therapy instead of killing the original perp. Also high % of methampetamine addiction in here.

  • I completely agree, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a metalhead too, but I do like rock more. This is an amazing solo and Metalduder06 is fricken retarted. Neil Peart is a drum God, John Bonham comes second, but there definately is a gap.

    There are a few Metal drummers that are amazing, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) for one, is phenomenal. Blake Richardson (Between the Buried and Me) is also amazing. There are many others too.

    But seriously, Neil Peart is by far the greatest drummer of all time.

  • LARS ULRICH

  • Well.. I can play what he played here..

  • Why is evreything so rare and special about Neil

    Peart?

  • Because difficulty does not equate to quality.

  • I can't agree more.

  • 3:20 to 4:04 fav part! he is just god

  • fuck ya this kicks so much ass fuckin awsome on da drums rock on neal peart

  • What a moron. You're a whopping 22 and still live off your mom and have never even had a paying gig and never will probably. Then you call me old. How old is NP ? We're about the same age. I can play swing however and he sucks at it. Then you said I simply say he sucks when in the post right above your dumbass inarticulate rant it's clear I say he's alright. Nothing compared to Carl Palmer or Buddy Rich or Cobham or Donati Or tony williams or Sonny Payne or Philly or joe M and I really mean 0

  • Metalduder06 = Retarded.

    Most metalheads are.

  • So what Vinnie paul said this is god..VP is a moron and half ass drummer. Not to be taken seriously. cause NP is alright way overated

  • I would go down to your level and make a comment. But your just an old geezer who needs his afternoon nap. If you don't have anything better to say other than "he sucks and that guy who said that sucks too.". Then go crawl under that fuckin rock from which you came. None of us care for your comments. I feel dumber for having read your comment. So take your stupid comments and low iq and shut the fuck up!! Your a moron...it takes one to know one and you know them all!! Apparently

  • neil pert overated? dude u r totally an asshole, i can even discuss with you... i have no words to express the pathetic feeling that u just gave me... im sorry 4 u

  • Speechless. I can't even begin to comprehend what this man can do to the drums. 5*

  • even tho some people may be able to work a set as well as neil i've never seen anyone be able to compare to this guys skills with multiple percussion instruments

    i mean damn he's good

  • Fucking amazing

  • can you not pick up a beat you dumbass? theres tons of them and all intricate but apparently you dont know enough about drumming to hear them

  • Dude? What the heck are you talking about? First of all chill out man, you don't know me nearly any to talk to me that way, apparently you know nothing about watching your mouth. Last time i checked, anyone could post their opinion, take it out on the administrators. These children think their experts at drums keeping backbeats of 2 and 4 nowadays.

  • OK,here we go ....Bands like Slipknot have been coming and going for years while the Extreme talent of Rush has kept them around for decades......

  • Don't even compare Joey from slipknot to Neil from rush..its like comparing Hercules to Zeus.

  • drummer and a half man. leg.end.

  • i think i just came...

  • i think my balls exploded!

  • MY BALLS JUST EJACULATED FROM MY DICK

  • this dude is how old? and he still outplays most drummers 1/3rd of his age.

  • Like Vinnie Paul said, this is GOD on drums!

  • the best part is exactly at :50.

  • that part, btw, lasts for about two seconds.

  • this is god

  • ha 3:00 is so badass

  • rampagin4fun get fukd mate yeh. did u actualy watch joeys solo. nufink but duble bassdrum geez all the way through. neil peart just pisses all over him 2bf son

  • Oh no you didn't. Joey? Joey Jordison? You can honestly say a metal drummer has nothing on a god? Get a clue man.
