Rush- YYZ Live With amazing Neil Peart Drum Solo Reaction

[@devinnickle1310]

You are watching the best drummer on the planet. The Professor.

[@BTom16]

Neil beats a set of drums like LAPD working over a black man in a routine traffic stop.

[@Darrin.Crawford]

"ONE" of the best drummers. Not "THEE".

[@lambjack1]

God Bless thee Neil Peart. RIP

[@TeeDOG6]

I think he has a new nickname. Big Dog!

[@ikki411]

Do you know if this live version is available at spotify?

[@kesleycottrell1416]

RIP Neil. The world lost the best percussionist ever.

[@robertdaxon3117]

If you want Epic, try the live version of “Xanadu” from the Exit Stage Left Tour, 1981. Will blow your mind that only 3 people are making the sounds of 5-6 people. Mini orchestra!

[@metoo7557]

This is why they call Neil Peart 'The Professor'. He's a, maybe THEE master of switching tempos.

[@Darrin.Crawford]

So is Phil Collins. Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson.

[@ryansutchy3197]

Actually no lol Ged and Alex came up with that name because he has a striking resemblance to the Professor character in Gilligan's Island 🤣

[@richwilliams7787]

That's just Neil doing what he did. Greatest drummer of all time. And now we live in a world without him. RIP.

[@davidchambliss5909]

Neil Peart is in an elevated class known unofficially as "percussionist". He's not just a drummer. That's why he has no issue with tubular bells, glockenspiel, or straight up xylophone baby... oh - he writes all the lyrics too ;)

[@chrisdarkly]

If you listen to Alex Lifeson's guitar playing on this song you'll realize that he is using scales common in Middle eastern music rather than traditional western scales during some of the piece. Which gives it some of that exotic vibe. Stuff like that flies under the radar because he doesn't shred like a speed metal guy. But incorporating non western techniques into your guitar playing and doing it seamlessly takes a lot of talent.

[@TeeDOG6]

And it sounds awesome.

[@kippsguitar6539]

Great but just a simple harmonic minor scale

[@rimskykorsakov2892]

It's called the Arabic scale

[@PromLesbian]

'RUSH Headaches' are a realization that you are a Rush fan!! 😎😎😎

[@Matty0923]

Yes you just witnessed the greatest band of all time and of course the greatest drummer of all time(as well as a tremendous lyricist). RIP Professor you will be sorely missed!!

[@Matty0923]

Yes you really need to watch YYZ live in RIO. The crowd is actually singing along to it, and it is an instrumental!!

[@redSectorA]

10,000 hours is all it takes. Start now and you can be as good as Neil by 2112!

[@0okamino]

40 hours a day!

[@spiff2268]

Maybe by 3112, but that's still pushing it.

[@redSectorA]

@@0okamino You'd have to give up all your free time and weekends!

[@fyodorkaramazov2136]

10 000 hours is roughly 10 years with 20 hours of practice a week

[@paulwilkinson8308]

😂

[@garykelly7422]

Three men who are each masters of their instruments. Brilliant, masterpiece of music.☮️

[@dominjav]

RIP Neil Peart....we'll miss you every day...thanks master

[@daveh9335]

You have the same look on your face that I did when I saw Rush live on Permanent Waves then Moving Picture s tours. RIP Neil. We miss you.

[@eclectic_ascension]

RIP Neil.. You are the goat!!! So, so, so amazing!!! I'm so happy I got to see them in concert.!!! It was epic!!!

[@chimneystacks9155]

Hands down best drummer ever!

[@antoniocharo1724]

That That My Friend Is The PROFESSOR on the drums ...

[@montag4516]

"Wooo, her come that magical drum set Big Dog, let's go..." 🔥🔥🔥

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

RIP to not only the greatest drummer of all time but also known as The Professor. If you get a chance, can you react to his drum solo performance from any Rush's tours either The Time Machine tour or the Clockwork Angels tour in honor of his passing?

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

What a difference two weeks can make. :-( ... R.I.P. Neil Peart.

[@eleazargutierrez8553]

I've attended Rush concerts since 1975; all together 18-20 concerts, and each and every time I walk out feeling as if I fought 15 rounds. Yet pumped up, amazed, and satisfied to have seen the best 3 synchronized Rush Musician's perform. I always wondered how 3 people

[@bluetopguitar1104]

One of the best drummers on the planet. Glad you feel better. Winter is tough on vocalists.

[@georgesabol459]

I never had idea, wow. Your reaction to Mr. Pearts drum solo brings us all closer together. I'll be watching for ya. Also, Merry Christmas.

[@benredmond6636]

Great reaction, Scribe! There certainly is a wow factor to Neil's playing. Watching him play live was like a dream come true... It is hard to take your eyes off of him and his magical drums

[@yvesvolupte8486]

I kept giggling and laughing the entire time...... I can never get over the shocked look on her face. So cute and hilarious!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤩

[@JF-Sebastian]

The drum set can only ever be as magical as the drummer lets it become.

[@captbrownbeard1599]

That was Niel Peart. End of explanation. One of the best drummers in the world.

[@AmatuerOasis]

I like your style. Loved watching you enjoy Rush.

[@michaelnorman2967]

That is an electronic marimba that you are referring to. I love how he utilizes what is called a cowbell tree and several wood blocks at the very beginning of his solo. This solo should make you feel much better for Christmas, Scribe.

[@johnhaas9984]

Never again will there ever be a drummer as great as Neil Peart! The music world is less great without him.

[@StGeoRUSH619]

How is that possible... talent, desire, dedication, and the drive for perfection EVERY time you sit behind the drum kit. All three of these musicians have that attitude... R*I*P* Neil

[@rutssy]

That drum solo was a whole nother level. The best drum solo I've ever soon!

[@ratowey]

That is why he`s called The Professor

[@Neonbob]

Magical Drum Set. 😘 love it

[@devinnickle1310]

I hope you're feeling better? Merry Christmas! 🎄❄

[@Military450Veteran]

I'm SO, SO SAD Since yesterday. WHY GOD, WHY??! 😢 💔 HE'S DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 5 of MY MOST FAV. Male Drummers IN THIS ENTIRE World. 🌎 PLUS of COURSE i LOVE ALL of RUSH's SONGS (as a Female, i'm NOT a damn FAKE FAN, i've BEEN Listening To RUSH Since THE EARLY 1970's). 🎸 🎵 I had just Bought MYSELF a set of Neil Peart Drumsticks last year for MY Birthday 'cause i SERIOUSLY WANT To LEARN How to play the DRUMS. 🎂 #NeilPeart 🌷 #iLoveRush 💌 #canada ❄ ⛄ #RIP 🙏 #FemalesDoLoveRush 😍

[@rutssy]

Loved the drum solo

[@gavooon]

Yep, mind blown..I had that feeling too 🤯 ‘Xanadu’ from the live album Exit Stage Left. Read the lyrics first and then enjoy their musical interpretation..it’s truly epic. Alex’s guitar solo towards the end of the story is painfully beautiful and one I’ve always loved.

[@garylindsey5174]

I could watch him play for hours!

[@julianlongden4054]

Always jaw dropping to watch Neil Peart. Get well soon.

[@stretchgilbert]

The drum kit has some electronic drum pads were he's able to make those "horns" sounds but the rest is all drums, chimes, blocks of wood, etc. Feel better girl. Merry Christmas!

[@markjohnson4217]

I have been a professional drummer for over 20 years, I have learned every Rush song of course, as all drummers must, my kit is considerably smaller though, Lol... But DAMN!! HOW DOES HE MAKE HIS WAY AROUND THAT DAMN LABYRINTH SO FAST AND WITH SUCH HARD HITTING FORCE??? THIS FOR ME IS THE REAL MYSTERY OF THE PROFESSOR!!

[@Menyhard]

Love your. Openness

[@rutssy]

Love this song. Thank you for reacting to it! It really is a masterpiece!

[@philstone3859]

Neil Peart is considered if not the greatest drummer of all time, certainly one the absolute best regardless of genre, regardless of personal musical taste. His talent is undeniable. He’s also is the band’s lyricist.

[@jamescharles1588]

It WAS on another level !!

[@teejayaiono7180]

I’m so glad someone reacted to this video lol

[@infinitysconcinnity2418]

Give us all A Show of Hands! You know that you just LOVE this band!!!

[@Matty0923]

Yes have to love the magical drumset. RIP Neil!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VinciGlassArt]

Yes. Yes he was playing the xylophone in the midst of that. And even did a call and response with key changes and then back to drums. There's next level genius. And then, high above that, there's this. RIP.

[@C_Melvyn_James]

Bwah-haha-haha! I love the part a little while after the drum solo starts when you suddenly stop using your energy to enjoy what you're hearing and sit back with arms folded to critically analyze WTF is going on. I say that as a person who doesn't dance (I do groove a bit and tap my toe but I never dance to music) Great reaction. I can tell you were totally "MIND BLOWN!"

[@ten4thebguy]

Simply the GOAT !!!

[@lowrider4266]

Great reaction to a Epic song. Neil does leave you speechless on his drum solos. Thanks. Get better soon. Merry Christmas.

[@Darockrobster]

Hey great video, I love your reactions. The next Rush song you should listen to is The Analog Kid! Once again great video! Shine on.

[@eleazargutierrez8553]

Man band. You give outstanding reviews Glad to see your back

[@jlawishere6685]

Rush - The Camera Eye, The Big Money and Force Ten

[@evilvolts]

you should see YYZ live in Rio the full song no drum solo. also "By-Tor and the snow dog"

[@andy431431]

Definitely the best version.

[@imontheoutsidelookingin2257]

an absolute must

[@alainrobillard4300]

The famous live show in Rio where the crowd was singing that instrumental song...!!!

[@omxsks]

Glad to see your feeling better! Merry Christmas and have an awesome New Year Scribe.

[@robertchesky277]

You are watching the best live band in history. I was priveledge to see them around 18 times (lost count) always incredible, consumate musicianship all around. These three guys fused into something amazing and unique.

[@EJ-tm1fe]

I just KNEW you were going to say "headache" at some point during this reaction!... Get Well Soon, $C. The Scribe Squad has missed you.

[@qualitycontrol2086]

You have the most musical reactions. I've never seen anyone feel every note the way you do. You obviously have a natural talent of your own, hope you make it big someday.

[@metalhead4206]

New subscriber here. love your channel. Been watching some of your other vids love em. Looking forward to seeing more of your awesome reactions. Have a merry christmas🤘

[@paulveach3030]

Welcome to the Neal PEART experience... You just witnessed the best drummer of all time. That's how it was possible...

[@glendadixon8319]

That was a great solo, I was lucky to have seen it live. Please check out Neil's solo O Batirista from Rush in Rio. Wait till you see it. Cant wait to see your reaction!! Hope you feel better soon.....Rush strong

[@KenNPotter]

One of the best if not the best bands out of Canada! Proud to say that drummer/percussionist Neil Peart was born in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario.

[@yyz125]

I love her reactions to my favorite band...I feel the same way everytime I hear them

[@roncalvert7988]

The worlds greatest. Not because of the press. Just his SHEER precision and talent. Him Geddy & Alex had a bond that was unique. He was an introvert and shy , but the main lyricist, a writer, philosopher, Father. I am Drummer. I cried when he died. An incredible educated man. Lost. He was a Biker too. Toured a lots of the world on his Motorcycle.

[@reyznbran9586]

best rush guitar solo ever ! for the drum the best the best the best he's a legend like john boham !!

[@TheSteveDallas]

Neal Peart drum solos have evolved. I highly recommend watching a newer one with overhead video to see what he actually does. You might want to check out "RUSH in Río - Leave That Thing Alone and YYZ" on KZbin. Leave That Thing Alone is a great instrumental, and it doesn't have YYZ is actually O Baterista (person who uploaded the video made a mistake), the drum solo Peart does evolved to its final form.

[@tommyv8584]

That’s straight up epic.so frickin’ dope.🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼(live)!!!!!

[@michaelnorman2967]

Scribe: you are the best! I knew you would do a reaction video to this! He is your drumming Professor. Watch and learn as we all have over the years. The greatest living drummer on the planet.

[@michaelnorman2967]

Glad you are feeling better. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and much applause to you from Minnesota. i am so glad I found your channel.

[@felishiadarling]

These guys are special. A year ago, Neil Peart passed away. It was devastating to ppl around the world. You should check out Geddy Lee the bassist play solo. It’s just as amazing. I love them

[@brianfrickinmeehar8650]

R.I.P. Neil Peart

[@RedDawg]

I am glad you are feeling better! Welcome back and you were missed!! Merry Christmas.

[@rutssy]

I like how you enjoy Rush so much!!!

[@vaultiplexc]

Clarity beyond that cloud. Yay!!!

[@markandrewrathof1583]

The Greatest Drummer To Ever Live Within Our Lifetimes Made That All Possible from playing Acoustic & Electronic Drums and Percussion Instruments With A True Love & Passionate Preciseness, Near Perfect Timing While Living A Humble but Hurtful Life In Doing What GOD Simply Created & Called Him to Do. Thank You for the Honesty & Sincerity which Naturally Shown Through Simply In Your Physical as well as verbal reactions. 💛

[@tomatoseed1443]

Love your enthusiasm, Scribe, even when you're not feeling well!

[@itcomesback]

Hey SC, have been enjoying your channel for the last couple of weeks. That instrument to the left of Neil is called a "malletKAT" (he always tended to refer to it as his "midi marimba"). Between 1984-85 he expanded his exploration of electronic percussion with this instrument, creating a couple of songs/extended demos - in particular one called "Pieces of Eight". In those days, he was sampling individual drum and percussion sounds using instruments from all over the world and building himself a very impressive library. 30 years later, you can pretty much buy this stuff off-the-shelf (for a price). Worst kept secret ever: Rush fans - like myself - are huge nerds. Anyway... by the time of this tour (Hold Your Fire, 1987), he had incorporated bits of his malletKAT experimentation into his drum solo. For what it's worth - this is not the best official video of YYZ, nor is it his best drum solo (imho). For YYZ, hands down it has to be Rush In Rio (you'll see why right away). Also, the drum solo in the video version of the HYF tour (for some inexplicable reason) gets cut. Bummer. Solo-wise, some of his earlier stuff is impressive simply from a speed and stamina standpoint, but he was only a dozen or so years into his career with another 30 to go. You might find some of his later stuff even more musical and impressive. Keep on doing what you're doing and Merry Christmas from a life-long Rush fan and recent SC fan! OK, back to the egg nog...

[@ScribeCash]

I never heard of that instrument before thanks for the info !!

[@CreativeWarrior-]

The version of YYZ from the Exit Stage Left record (Also live) has a badass drum solo!

[@ryansutchy3197]

Finally!!! U go girl! Ur the only one that's reacting to earlier NP solos WHICH R MUCH BETTER!!

[@yyz125]

The transition when geddy gets on the keyboard and guitar gets passionate sounding

[@rickthomsen3133]

That is Mr. Neil Pratt the Professor of the Drum kit. One bad man!!!!!

[@rickthomsen3133]

PeirtMy bad

[@sciwiz57]

Dearest Scribe-recommend U-2 show from Manila about a week ago-“Where the Streets Have No Name” celebrating the renowned album “The Joshua Tree”. And Happy Scribe Year!

[@Islander2112]

Damn, you got to do RIO!!!

[@petemianowski495]

The name is Neil Peart!

[@rayphelps2129]

My favorite live version of 'YYZ' is on the Clockwork Angels tour, where they have a live backing string section. Also, on the Clockwork Angels tour, we got three drum solo's.

[@roncalvert7988]

RUSH ..... Greatest ever. The world wont get it for another 50 yrs . But they eventually will.

[@7475bluesman]

This a great work from Rush in thier progressive era. I think La Villa Strangiato is thier best work from that Rush era. I'd love to see your take on it. You rock!

[@funkster007]

Hopefully Neil knocked that flu bug right out of you. Epic solo, epic reaction. You're gorgeous and you rock girl!

[@leehanson1416]

Neil is also an astounding songwriter and poet. He wrote the vast majority of Rush's lyrics. Listening to a Rush song is like watching a Swiss watch move- on the first glance, it's interesting and beautiful. However, if you know how to make a watch, you get an idea of how well the parts work together to make the watch keep perfect time.

[@big106razor]

Natural Science, Vital Signs, The Trees, and later stuff like The Big Money, Roll the Bones, Mystic Rhythms, and Animate.

[@stevenmotchan2048]

Good to see you're back. Merry Christmas.

[@nattijeff]

Close to 200 baseballs, all autographed by former Negro Leagues baseball players or backers, have been donated to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum by a somewhat surprising fan ... Rush singer/bassist Geddy Lee ... ... Lee, whose band performs Saturday at Starlight (see Page 39), dropped by the museum last year unannounced, Kendrick said. �I wasn�t here, but another employee walked him through the museum, and apparently he fell in love with the place,� Kendrick said. �He already had a huge respect for the Negro Leagues, as the collection shows, and this brought it home to him.�

[@scotsbillhicks]

Merry Christmas. Get well soon. Thank you for your videos.

[@darthcreepio]

Love videos of this song live cause a lot of times the crowd sings along which is crazy to hear for an instrumental song

[@santyrush]

The best drummer from the best band of the galaxy.

[@efakter1]

You need to play “Bytor and the Snowdog”. Have a Merry Christmas young lady

[@tedregal4726]

Check out the drum solo from Frankfort Germany.

[@miconis123]

Yea, see him not only change up the beat but change up the whole kit.

[@CHRISFREEMAY]

Rush rules!!!!!!!!!!! From Chile!!! 🔥🇨🇱🔥
