R.I.P. Neil Peart, Best Drummer and best Poet (lyricist) in Rock and Roll! Period! Hands Down! Nuff said!

Neil started incorporating African drum rhythms into his solos after a cycling trip he took through Africa. He met a lot of villagers through his travels and learned to play some of their instruments and then he incorporated their sound into his solos. 🤘🤘🤘

Neil was hugely talented, and he worked his heart out at his craft. RIP

Neil Peart said once he didn't feel like he had some kind of immense talent, he was just relentless in his practice and study of his craft

The foot control on those bass drums is insane!!!!

RIP Neil Peart "The Professor" the greatest of all time (next to Buddy). He was not just a drummer he was a percussionist! I saw Rush 9 times they have been the soundtrack of my life. All three of them are absolutely incredible musicians. You should check out some more Rush. PS he also wrote the lyrics to all but a few of their songs. He wrote several books as well... a very intellectual mind. He is truly missed. 🙏😔

I saw him do this 10 times live. This dude had everything in his bag, and then some. Once in a lifetime drum talent.. Nobody is better than Neil.

Neil Peart was the professor of the drum kit. He's the reason why I learned how to play drums 🥁

You know what’s even more impressive? He never took a lesson in his life. He was a self taught drummer, who learned how to play on old magazines and phonebooks. There will never be another one like him. May he rest in peace 🙏🏻🥁🙏🏻

Now aren't we all glad Neil's Mom insist he take piano lessons, so he would know how to add melodies to his incredible drum solos??!!

Neil Peart.

He will never be replaced.

I spent most of my 51+ years trying to convince others that Rush concerts were the best you could attend . Saw them many times. All 3 members of Rush are exceptional ,especially Peart.

arguably the best drummer the world has ever seen. his work in the Canadian rock band RUSH was monumental. ty for the fantastic watch

The true GOAT🐐

Pure talent. Master of his craft. God rest his soul. RIP 2020

There is a DVD Peart made called Neil Peart: Anatomy of a Drum Solo, where he talks only about this solo.The solo is called "Der Trommler". He took the name from the Grimm Brothers story "The Drummer Tale". He choreographed it to showcase the various different percussive instruments, including the marimba, electronic drums, and cow bells, as well as the different playing styles and rhythms. In the DVD, he breaks down each section of the solo and plays it at a slower tempo so you can see what he is doing. At one point in the YT video, you can see him switch from a more contemporary grip on the sticks to the more traditional jazz grip (

And that’s why he’s known as the professor!

Rush is legendary band. Go down that path yall. Every song is art. Rip Neil

You just witnessed The Professor.
