Neil is every drummer's favourite drummer! He is known as THE PROFESSOR. Cheers from Toronto, the home of RUSH.

[@jasonwilliams6005]

Saw Rush 20 times over the years. Neil was the greatest. I miss him and I miss Rush.

[@batman1169]

What a empty mark he left on this earth. 💕

[@jpmbz]

I was lucky enough to see them three times.

[@Mike80528]

It's depressing every time I consider that there will never be a new Rush song or new Neil Peart Lyrics...very sad indeed.

[@susanmccarthy4979]

I’ve seen them over 100 times. It’s never enough is it. I miss him as well. I can’t believe I’m never going to see them live again. RIP Neil

[@SoCal780]

@@susanmccarthy4979 man, I’m envious! Good for you!

[@skoon002]

My favorite Peart story is when he was considered one of the greatest rock drummers in the world and he decided to take lessons from a jazz drummer. He was always learning and pushing himself.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Neil is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer. All of the current bands I listen to (usually European, American music lost me in the early 90's), their drummers all list Neil as a major influence. Even though he's gone his legacy will never die. He will continue to be a major influence to drummers as long as music exists. Despite his talent, he was always very humble, always putting himself down and saying he wasn't that good. RIP Professor.

[@ionildorodrigues]

Legend never die, we miss you Professor

[@kenmolinaro]

One thing he has not hit yet? The rim of any of the drums :) And I like that you said that it sounds very musical. I've always said whereas most drum solos sound like drumming, Neil's solos sound like music.

[@butchgifford1809]

Ken Molinaro Very Perfectly Spoken!! Neil Peart,was the biggest influential drummer for the end 70's up till the day he retired!! And I,like so many other's has heard.." The most air drummed too drummer!!" And I loved how the,Commentator (Steve) mentions all of the big name and well-known Drummer's that The Professor influenced!! Like Thomas Lang and Steve Portnoy!!! R.I.P NEIL!! YOU ARE SO VERY MISSED!!

[@davesimmons9033]

He does though. It's the ride he hits slightly.

[@stephenfowlie4429]

Rush, the worlds finest 3 piece orchestra

Hi Jason - thank you for doing my request - Cheers from Toronto Canada !!!

[@JasonSayersDrums]

Not a problem at all. Hi from the U.K.

[@BruceBaxter]

Neil Peart Reactions are one of my most favourite things to watch. There is a moment when the person doing the reaction just sort of melts! They are never the same after that! Thanks for your views and the reaction!

[@djlp2212]

The 3/4 beat with his feet and going crazy 4/4 with his hands was Neils way of saying I'm above everyone else. Plus the horns you hear right before the big band part is Neil using his left foot to play them.

[@EnerGeezerSquirrel]

Congrats! You're the first drummer [ that I've seen ] to review this piece to mention that fantastic left foot. I'm not a musician but even I can appreciate the multiplicity of parts his brain has to keep in time to accomplish this solo. About his snare, check out his last, longest drum supplier's channel DW, for vids on his various kits. There's one only on his "ICON" snare. Neil is brilliant in the piece "Masters Of Resonance." A bonus for watching that piece is learning to pronounce Neil's family name properly! p/s: Another piece you might enjoy is Zanadu from "Exit Stage Left" ( 1981 ) where his kit is even more massive because there were no electronic pads to synthesise sounds back then. So while there's no solo as such in the piece, he hits everything from tubular bells to castanets around him! (and the other two guys aren't exactly chopped liver either, if you knows what's I means...)

[@SoCal780]

Xanadu from “Exit Stage Left” is my all time favorite live performance of Rush. It’s awesome! Whenever I want to impress someone who’s never seen them before, I play that one for them. Works every time!

[@av40229]

Rik you beat Me to it, He's the only Drummer reacts that has mentioned it. I've been a drummer studying Mr. Peart for over 40 years and STILL don't have the disconnect to keep timing like Mr. Peart does during the single foot bass and double high hat sequence. To top it off on that, He purposely goes off time with hands and still keeps timing. I totally agree with exit stage left but to add I think the solo the YYZ solo is the best solo He's done.

[@EnerGeezerSquirrel]

@@av40229 Relax! Even if he were still alive, I'm sure he'd insist you call him Neil. ;-)>

[@av40229]

@@EnerGeezerSquirrel I'm sure, RUSH was My life for 40 years, He was My teacher along with 10's of thousand I'm sure. Mr. Peart will Always have My respect.

[@jackteppo9633]

Neil was the master of using all 4 . Damn Great!!

[@jimrupe9991]

More Rush reactions....yes please. Spirit of radio..Freewill..Working man. Oh yes very much please.

[@jimrupe9991]

I lost count of how many different sounds he got out of just the freaking snare! I have also been a rush fan since the fly by night album.

[@infectedvector]

Coton Tiail (Buddy Rich tribute) when Neil was younger. Check it out.

[@jackteppo9633]

Da Bomb!!! R.I.P Neil Neil Peart. Miss these guys jamming.

[@jameshawryluk7383]

You might want to check out "Malignant Narcissism" (with the drum composition "De Slagwerker") from the 2007 Snakes and Arrows tour. (Please forgive me if my spelling is off)

[@jimrupe9991]

This was from Rush's R-30 tour which I saw in Seattle Washington. Omg the best show EVER!

[@paulrobinson5833]

He is the Professor, good video.

[@1AMERICANWORKER]

The first thing I can help you with is how Neil's last should be pronounced. His name is often mis-pronounced, PearT . The ear is actually pronounced as it is when you are talking about someones ear. Fun facts about the drum kit. The wood that was used as veneer and structural laminations for the entire kit was salvaged from a river in Romainia, where it was preserved by silt and cold water ever since it fell into the water 1500 years ago.

[@markkeith9055]

I was hooked on Rush when I heard Peart's YYZ solo Exit Stage Left. Watch that one

[@jimtatro6550]

Check out Where’s my Thing?(Here it is), for another incredible live performance.👍🤘🏻🔥🎧

I saw you watched Buddy Rich. Neil put together a tribute concert to Buddy Rich and you might watch his betraying of Cottontail.

It's worth it. Buddy Rich tribute

[@compnnburns8831]

anatomy of a drum solo video by Neil

[@ukdnbmarsh]

this and the John Bonham solo are just mind boggling

[@mattisola6629]

Xanadu live from exit stage left by rush. You will not be disappointed.

[@blackfender100]

Check out 2112 it's an early rush album . In my mind some of his best drumming ever ! RIP Neil

[@marvbush5592]

You can do that. That’s the trouble ... check out his work in by progress and anatomy is a drum solo You can do anything he does... and he would tell you that ... but it takes practice and commitment to that end. As Geddy said “Neil is the only guy who would rehearse for rehearsal “ Think about that.

[@jimrupe9991]

React to anything by Rush. You will be in for a treat. I have been a fan for 45 years.

[@SoCal780]

You beat me by one year, 44 for me!

[@davidsmith4010]

Max Roach, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich. Neil was 15 years older than Mike Portnoy so I think it more likely that Portnoy was influenced by the same people rather than influencing Neil.

[@crossbearer365]

Check out his solo on the Dave Letterman show.

[@davidkoblentz]

Neil was awesome, I could watch this all day. I wonder why no one gives props (or reactions) to Away (voivod).... Tribal Convictions off the album Dimension Hatross was such a massively ahead of its time tune, and Away has always been different, not some mega drummer but just his own thing

[@christophercheck1590]

4:30 That bit where his feet are in 3 and his hands are in whatever they feel like is a bit of a quote from Max Roach's "The Drum Also Waltzes," a jazz piece from half a century ago that's worth a look. It's supposed to be a sort of exercise in limb independence, as you noted with his foot's precision.

[@raymondpopple6390]

YYZ, from the Exit… Stage Left album 💯😳

[@paulrobinson5833]

JASON,check out the story about Neil's R40 kit. Mind blowing. Peice of Art.

[@reallymysterious4520]

Another reactor said he beat that kit like it owed him money

[@JasonSayersDrums]

I would agree highly with that statement 🤣

[@djlp2212]

I have to disagree. Neil never beat the drums, he played them.

[@nodrush80]

Not your average usual solo, very musical. Anything portnoy does comes from NP. Check out some of his older solo's.

[@JasonSayersDrums]

The way he performs all of his solos are amazingly beautiful and musical. I can not honestly think of anyone who has done drum solos like him!

[@TheFingerFrame]

The funny thing with this recorded version. Neil hated it. He was suffering from a touch of flu or something. So he never felt it captured him at his best. THAT is Neil “not up to standard”, or at least his standards. Can you imagine what hitting his standards would sound like?

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

I don't know if it's true or not, but he's said to have played this with the flu.

Sorry you did Frankfurt. It should be Rio which is 10x better, but as per usual Rush fans are ignorant with their recommendations and simply don’t know…..

[@lindapryor3747]

There are no bad Neil Peart recommendations. Shows how much you know!

@@lindapryor3747 I know. Trust me. Frankfurt has been reacted to 100x for every Rio drum solo, yet IGNORANT Rush fans ONLY recommend Frankfurt…..I hope that helps….

[@robertpinazza4043]

I believe Moto Perpetuo was his absolute best drum solo ever and I’ve seen him in 24 shows, right from ‘84 onwards; never missed one. He was an absolutely inspired during it all.

[@thatsnice99]

@@robertpinazza4043 see, you have perspective. I believe it’s very good and has a much better flow than Frankfurt. Rio for me was like a rebirth of prior greatness…..

I will definitely check out that performance of Neil. Let’s be honest though. Has he never had a jaw dropping performance?

[@paulbeucher8483]

A drummer that doesn't know Mr Neil Peart isn't a real drummer. And you don't seem to know him. Sorry for you if you don't know John Bonham, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa... You may post your marvelous comments, you're not a passionate drummer
