Neil Peart: The Floating Snare

the greatest of eternity

A shout out to Tommy Aldridge from the prof. I always loved Aldridge’s double bass style especially on the live Ozzy album Speak of the Devil.

The professor....teaching us his craft .....

Damn, this is why he is the professor, Neil was a a God sent genius!!

Rest in peace Neil play for God now

Love hearing Neil talk about stuff. Wish he and Bonham got to know each other and hang out. Maybe in heaven.

Neil Peart… my favourite drummer of ALL TIME….a very clever man and superb author.
Music lost a genius the day he left this earth..
God bless sir and thank you for giving me so many hours of enjoyment along with your RUSH band mates..👍

Those triplets were terrible. Completely off. This guy needs to practice a lot harder

“There’s no tempo. It’s really implied than stated.” This guy was so brilliant

There will not be another Neil PEART

🙏

Obviously he was a much better speaker, than a drummer. That "solo" in the end sounded like this was his first month, taking drum lessons. Absolutely horrible playing from a man who has played for decades.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

When I was in San Antonio, my friend and I hit a strip club the night before the Rush Snakes and Arrows show. The DJ at the strip club was a HUGE fan of Rush, playing the start of the drum solo at least once every half hour letting everyone know that Rush was playing the following night. Made me enjoy that weekend a little more.

still love your work!!

I wonder what Neil would say to Ginger Baker talkin shit on Bonham.. I thought it was ridiculous n arrogant... and I'd much rather listen to Bonham than Ginger any day of the week

OK 1st lesson, all I need now is 100k+ for this kit

Before watching I just wanna say if the damn thing actually takes off and flies away…I will be unsurprised.

I will never forget the night I was up in the front row in Rochester NY having my internal organs rearranged thanks to Professor's drum solo. He was among the very best.

"There are no mistakes, just new parts" - Neil Peart channeling his inner Bob Ross

Drum Solo of Life!!

Neil isn't gone; he's in another time.

The Professor

Accent is key to music!! In all instruments my belief- timing accent change

The uniqueness of Neil Peart: his double-bass "triplets" are often not triplets at all; when all 4 notes are evenly spaced in the time occupied by a single eighth note, those are just straight 32nd notes. But sometimes he plays "hertas" between his hands and feet where the hands are 2 32nd note triplets and the feet are 2 16th note triplets, so though it is 4 notes, they're not evenly spaced and does include the 3 notes of a triplet (plus one other). Also, although he's right handed, he leads with his left foot, which results in a heavier 4th note of the pattern, which just sounds "different" than how most drummers plays what I like to call "oggada-oggadas". :-)

silly Neil, he referred to himself as only human. what a beautiful cat, miss him.

Small wonder that the drumming world referred to him as THE Professor. No drummer in history was as precise and knowledgeable as Neil Peart. His drum fills and solos were legendary. He attacked the drums like they were the enemy. His crew simply said, "He hit hard," A gentleman, a scholar and a wonderful human being who overcame the loss of a wife and a daughter, he was loved by his fans and his peers. We will never see his like again. When he passed, the music stopped. Rest in Peace Neil Peart. You will be remembered.

Note: he's wearing oxford shoes with a heel.

Der Professor ist Tod.....😭😭😭

Just that easy.

Not even a hint of cockiness! What a demeanor for a guy who could be considered to be one of, if not the greatest drummer of all time! Thank you so much for some of the most moving drum grooves Neil Peart...

I was amazed that he played basically the same solo for so many years

Rest in Peace sir! We miss you!

Motif

Think Peter criss had to play after this guy every night and neil and him were friends says alot about neil

That guy is super duper genius

Wow his vocal tember is identical to his sense of rhythm. But in only the most illuminated experience

I GOTS TO HAVE MORE COWBELL

I like pert shampoo

awsome

He meant momentum. RIP, Peart.

The thing that always gets me about Neil is that if u listen to just how good he was and yet had this quiet humble confidence about him that could make any self professed rockstar look foolish by comparison. He was so good that Tom Sawyer and Limelight could have remained his apex, but no. He actually was so humble and respectful of his love of music and playing that he went and got lessons! If thats not a winning attitude that sets one well apart from others, I dont know what is. Though he is gone his legacy will always be in a class by itself. Peace and respect Sir.

If neil peart isnt at the top of your alltime greatest list u need to check into rehab

What motherfuckers gave this a thumbs down u will get your kharma u douchbags

I still can’t believe he’s gone🥲

Another great Canadian who died to soon.

A legend who gave back.

He made it look so effortless.
Thank you for the many gifts you left behind. RIP Neil
