The Absolute Goat on drums . Notice every drum was used multiple times ,not just for show. At the end he's not even sweating or breathing hard.

[@Westend2767CW]

From 3:07-3:50 he was beating that snare drum like it owed him money.

[@EuphoriaDeep]

There's never been another drummer like Neal Peart. R.I.P.

[@aaroncasey9696]

Love how he switched from match to conventional ❤

[@AlanHoss-pb1bc]

What a genius call! This fellas is the GOAT! Your favorite drummers favorite drummer. Enjoy pure mastery of craft

[@sicotshit7068]

Yet John Bonham is the most sampled drummer, though nobody even comes close to Bonham’s groove or power. Peart can be the GOAT, because Bonham is the drum GOD!

[@AlanHoss-pb1bc]

@ good call… no other like JB

[@Rock_Snob]

@@sicotshit7068 Bonham said that Barriemore Barlow from Jethro Tull was the best drummer to come out of England… True story, look it up.

[@sicotshit7068]

@ I will, though I’ve seen & read everything to do with Led Zeppelin, & never heard that.

[@Rock_Snob]

@@sicotshit7068 look it up… Bonham is the top, but I saw Barriemore Barlow in 1978 with Tull… I got lost watching him…

[@THOR6471]

All three members of Rush are insanely talented musicians!

[@tom9188]

I love seeing people react to The Professor, I have this solo memorized after watching so many. RIP Mr. Peart.

[@Jollymon66]

The only thing better is getting to see him to do this in person!! Fortunately I got to do this twice !! RIP Professor !!

[@MetaPhysaNaut]

The professor at work 🤘🤘🤘

[@cityhonors1]

More Rush please! 🥰🐰

[@debbieplato5107]

Neil did not feel that this was one of his best performances as he was dealing with having the flu at the. Yes, he was triggering those horns from his drum kit. Cheers

[@Bill123058]

keeping track of 40 drums/cymbals, the notes on the cowbells, the notes on the xylophone, the notes on all the horn triggers and where they were. plus some truly incredible drum expertise. have been a Rush fan since 1974, was lucky enough to see them 4 times. first tour, the last and a couple times in between. they were one of the best bands ever. check out "best intro ever" by Rush.

[@klasseact6663]

This is awesome..now you've gotta follow it up with YYZ Live in RIO...THE CROWD📣📣

[@geoffburns3540]

There's an old video on YT of him playing "Cotton Tail" on a basic kit with a jazz band - well worth checking :D

[@CoronaMechanics88]

I’m one of the lucky dudes that saw Rush in concert 4 times in the 70’s/80’s…I’m sure they’ll love you dudes at the Villages…Respect…

[@Retromolarman]

The best drummer ever! RIP the Professor! ❤

[@Fred-vy1hm]

The GOAT of all rock drummers and a brilliant lyricist as well this guy did one of these drum solos every single concert and usually during the second set after he'd already been drumming for well over an hour. RIP Professor. 😢

[@mattbaker5757]

As a honky myself, I was laughing even more than you, laughing at the Honky McGee name. Hiding the face behind your arms is priceless!

[@user-mw3mb2uv8n]

Mr. Neil Peart - The Professor - Percussionist Perfectionist

[@davidkneitel1840]

Yes. He was triggering those sounds at the end with him, hitting with hands and feet. And his solos are all mapped out. He was a complete genius at his craft just like Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. The other two in Rush. They have been my three favorite people since I was 12. I'm 56 now. Neil was the main lyricist for Rush. He wrote about social issues a lot. Rush is music for the thinking person. Neil had issues later in life because of his intense beating of drumming. Tendinitis is the main issue. Sadly, we lost him to brain cancer in 2020. He fought his battle personally for three and a half years without too many people knowing. Only family and close friends knew. Please. Explore more down the rabbit hole. ❤❤❤

[@christopherfoerstel9116]

The washing machines are a throwback from their days growing up in the 60s-80s playing with HUGE SPEAKERS behind the whole band. When better surround systems came out and theater bands adapted, the stage felt empty so they did washing machines!

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

Thanks for your reaction. His name was pronounced just like it was spelled: P - ear - T It was not meant to be pronounced: P - ur - T

[@louisenglish8069]

Stunned silence. Mouth wide open. Yep.

YYYEEESSSS Finaly !!!!! The professor !!!! Neil Peart RIP

[@jamesmcclain5005]

This guy is the PROFESSOR!

[@tjmasson1013]

One of the All time GOATs

[@jimtatro6550]

I was lucky enough to see this man played live 15 times between 1982 and 2008. As a drummer myself, he is and was the greatest influence in my life.

[@user-mw3mb2uv8n]

Rush fans are second to none. What other group had fans follow the tour?

[@suefranklin8177]

Im a Tampa person.. easy drive over there.. lol xo

[@klasseact6663]

I saw them once, 1993 w/ Eric Johnson opening the show and everyone SAT while RUSH played, same for the drum solo but afterwards...STANDING OVATION❗️❗️

[@Buds1own]

AWESOME REACTION!!! Great stuff! sooo amazing! !! Been with RUSH since 1980... Also learned tto play drums playing along to NEIL PEART!!! ♥♥♥ Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

[@greekadmirer2204]

Missed just like Bonham ❤

[@billc.5861]

Neal obviously was a very talented drummer, a rock icon and a big drum influence on me as a younger guy back in the day . He was very mathematical in his approach. To his credit in his later years he studied with jazz drum legend Freddie Gruber - so cool.

[@davidosborn7675]

The craziest thing about this that most people don't know😮 he was battling stage 4 brain cancer at the time he did this😮

[@Stevedrums741]

NO he wasn't. That's a stupid, untrue and ignorant thing to say. What the hell is the matter with you?? This was 15 years before he had the disease. You think he'd be anywhere near a stage if he had that then? Smarten up, dude. You're an idiot.

[@MrCyberious]

No he wasn’t. This was from 2005. He wasn’t diagnosed until 2017-2018 timeframe. The kufi hat he wore was to keep sweat out of his eyes while playing.

[@lisaharrison1031]

@@MrCyberioushe was actually diagnosed in June of 2016. Less than a year after the last RUSH show in Los Angeles.

[@davidkneitel1840]

​@lisaharrison1031, you are correct. He fought a three and a half year battle. Neil Peart September 12th, 1952 - January 7th, 2020. 😢💔

[@rickschlosser6793]

The washing machines are because Geddy plugs his bass guitar directly into the sound board. They needed something to replace the stack of amps on Geddy’s side. This tour they used washing machines but they used other things over the years.

[@rutgerwaters7834]

NP is wild KISS 100,000 years is a decent drum solo

[@damonhines8187]

Total control. Masterful. Neil sequences sounds as does Geddy, MIDI enables lots. ✌🏼😊🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@necromancer6558]

Thank's dude..

[@patcandelora8496]

Fun fact: when this was recorded Neil was just getting over the flu and wasn’t even feeling 100%

[@robertholmstrom2974]

As a Canadian, I've always viewed Neil Peart, as, the goat.... until I watched Danny Carey drum cam, on "pneuma"... that's stunning drumming.

Now you gotta read the unfinished poem by Samuel Coleridge called Kubli Kahn, then watch the live version of Xanadu from 1981! (the first time I saw Rush)

The professor

[@brigid4815]

Good eye on washing machines and yes they were washing clothes and keeping beats…😅rip professor.

[@patcandelora8496]

Every sound you hear including the horns in the big band section are triggered at the kit by the man himself. The man was part octopus.

[@zceamzz5238]

You should listen to: system of a down chop suey

[@loadedorygun]

About half way through, he starts hitting that tambourine sound. And then he does all kind of freestyle shit--while keeping that same simple tambourine beat. Humans can’t really do that. But Neil could.

[@davidkneitel1840]

Nothing was freestyle. It was all mapped out. Every new solo he did over the years was mapped out beforehand. .

[@loadedorygun]

@ I didn’t say improvised. Freestyle is different.

[@troygarrett3497]

Tampas where it’s at

[@sicotshit7068]

You need to then checkout LED Zeppelins drummer, John Bonham’s 15 minute solo at Royal Albert Hall (1970). Which I think is far better. It’s called Moby Dick, & Bonham beats the shit out of them with his hands too.

His "hat" was because he had cancer. Not dissing y'all though, just putting it out there.

False information. Please stop with untruthful comments. Where did you get your information from?
