THEY DIDNT CALL HIM THE PROFESSOR FOR NOTHING

The Drum Master- Modern Drummer magazine Drumming has the power to unite people, no matter how varied their language or cultural background might be. On a recent trek through Africa, Neil Peart had a singular experience that proved just that. "I was in Gambia, walking through a small village, and I heard the sound of a drum. So of course I was curious! I looked into a compound and I could hear the drumming coming from a curtained room. I walked up to a woman doing laundry in front of the room. She could see my interest in the sound, so she waved me to go in. Inside I found a young, white missionary from a nearby Catholic school. Sitting across from him was the commanding presence of the local drum master. He was attempting to show the missionary how to play any kind of beat. The missionary was trying as hard as he could, but he wasn't having a lot of success." After a time the drum master, frustrated by the missionary's lack of ability, noticed the other man who had come into the room. The master had no idea who this person was, but he thought to himself, "Why not see if he can play?" According to Peart, what happened next was fascinating. "The drum master gestured to me to try and play a rhythm. So we began playing together, and he started smiling because he could tell I had a rhythm - maybe not his rhythm, but a rhythm of some kind. We were playing and playing, building the intensity, and little kids started coming in, laughing at the white man playing drums. Then a few women came into the room, and everybody began dancing to our beat! The master and I even started trading fours. It wasn't a spoken thing, but he could tell that I would lay out and listen to what he was doing for a certain amount of time, and then he would do the same. It was just a magical moment." When they finished, a confused and startled missionary ran up to Peart and asked, "How can you do that?" Chuckling to himself, Neil politely responded, "I'm in the business."

Dude totally pronounced the name correctly the first time. I totally respect that. This is one of the best drummers that has ever existed in whatever ever is. His sticks never miss.

to paraphrase the man himself, 'playing drums for Rush is like running a marathon while solving calculus equations'

There’s a reason he was known as “The Professor”. Rest In Peace Neil. There’s a saying, “Whoever your favourite drummer is...Neil Peart is THEIR favourite drummer”.

This isn't just musicianship, it's athleticism.

Very fitting that you are sipping on a Canada Dry 🇨🇦

Neil was nicknamed the professor. He was a complete student of drumming. He was probably still taking lessons at the time of this solo

Neal Peart, John Bonham, two of the best drummers EVER. RIP gentlemen

Neil Peart has been inspiring drummers since the 1970's... I heard a person say that Neil Peart is "Your favorite drummer's, favorite drummer"... He is the shoulders that were stood on for so many of the greats of the 80's 90's 2000's and even to this day. One of the greatest!

He was the Mozart of drums. Other can play harder maybe faster, but none could compose like he did

Neil states that drum solo was to represent the sounds drums as they progressed. Yes, he is keeping 3/4 time on his feet while playing 4/4 and free playing on the rest of the drums. The horns you hear at the end are all from triggers on the set that Neil is hitting to activate them and the big band at the end is the Buddy Rich Band that he played with and did two records with.

BTW, the drummer in the black and white video is Buddy Rich who was one of Neil Peart's favorite drummers.

This has to be one of the best reaction to a Peart drum solo I've seen. There's Peart and then everybody else. Peart's drum solos are a composition and very musical. It's not about hitting a drum, it's about creating music.

Neil Peart: Born: Hamilton, Canada September 12th 1952 Died: Santa Monica, California January 7th, 2020 😢 Rest in Peace ! 🌹🙏😢

"you know, I don't believe that" Neil: Hold my drum kit 10 seconds later, his eyes believe. Also, that solo was 90 minutes in to a 3-hour concert.

You are the first reactor that I have seen that has noticed the intricacies of Neil's playing--feet separate from hands, etc. This man is a genius and he's Canadian to boot (being Canadian used to be something to brag about; however...). Liking your observations and analyses. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Canada
