Speaking as an admirer of the Prof's work - this solo is not one of his best. The acoustic drums are fine, but - the sound effects used on the Roland E drums is absoloutely horrible!
To be honest I will never be a fan of the electronic section of his solo - dont mind the malletkat too much though.
He does however use them to good effect during certain songs, Mystic rythms being a high point for me.
RUSH is the most horrible rock (progressive) band ever on this earth! I always put my radio off in the car. The only genius is Neil Peart who plays that lousy music and makes it come to life - i mean only that section of the band. I hope they'll never get inducted in the R & R Hall of fame.
@agankachu09 If you don't like Rush, then don't comment on a video. Honestly, nobody cares if you like them or not. Keep your opinions to yourself. You don't need to tell the world.
@trecoolmania No way. To understand the Legend of Neil you have to understand the legend of RUSH.To understand RUSH you need to understand the music.To understand the music is to realise its complexity and composition.To understand its complexity and compositon you either need to be a fan or a musician.To be a fan or a musician,you need to posses passion and to understand passion is to listen to RUSH. Neil Peart said himself "God is in the details", and RUSH is a perfect example of that.
Electronic drums sound awful, why do they even bother. Bruford in the 80's Crimson lineup is the only player who actually expanded his sound in a beneficial way with electronics. The current Crimson incarnation records and tours with V Drums, it's absurd. Mostello doesn't even use an acoustic snare. But anyway, I digress. Go Neil!
Yah I don't like the new electronic sounds I heard there and at the last concert. But I love that he experiments with new stuff. I like most of the electronic stuff he does usually.....but his solo from YYZ on the older Exit Stage Left CD is one of his best.
My favorite kit of his so far. And I don't think those aren't brilliant Paragons. On the video A Work in Progress he or his drum tech mentioned that his cymbals get polished every night before a show and after a while they take on a brilliant finish. That's why all of his Zildjian A series cymbals appeared to be brilliant finish and had no black logos or markings on them.
I'm quite sure these are custom brilliant Paragons especially made for Mr. Peart. Talked to Sabian before and they said they can do just about anything with their cymbals. And yes i have seen his Paragons with the brilliant finish with freshly printed gold logos on them. Hmmm lucky Neil. : )
i love how creative neil is on the drums in his solos, but i hate to say i wasn't a huge fan of the sounds he chose for the electronic portion of the solo, it sounds very choppy and not musical. i personally like Der Trommler the best.
I Agree, but theres only so much you can do before you run out of ideas right. He just wanted to come up with something new because he had done virtually the same solo for the past8 years on T4E, VT and R30. My personal favorite solo was O Baterista but yea i agree with you, S&A setlist was great, but not my favorite drum solo.
dont hate it, Neil past the years of drumming and listening, he's way past us musically, basically I hated it as well, but it'l grow on you, wait a bit, I know it sound very futuristic and mechanical? right? but thats the whole point, he meant it this way, well thats my opinion....so think about it? Neil always change sound, check his drum sound! totally different than the old one, he evolve....:)
@Qalstootel What do you mean the same??? Maybe the same 'Heart' or 'Framework', but his solos are NOT all the same silly. Pay attention and you'll hear
I couldn't agree more. We all love and respect Neil's contribution to drumming, but let's be honest..... his best work has been recorded some time ago now.
I couldn't stand the solo from this past tour. Goofy sounds, as if it were a musical box making the sounds.
@larkydozer His best work has yet to be recorded, the guy is allowed to experiment, thats what makes him great, he's not afraid to try new things, I like the way he plays now, much smarter, more controlled, he's always interesting!
@belac5 I think the idea was to make it sound VERY old-school as in classic Rush sounds :D instead of the "WOW Synth Drum FX" sounds... using shitty sounds to make a solo = COOL
The #1 thing that makes this guy so great is the fact that he's willing to share his technique that was once so mysterious and elusive to his fans. Like the song goes, "It's not what you got, it's what you give." Neil peart has given me so much emotionally and as a musician...thanks DC for making this gem available to us!
