Personally, I think this album and hold your fire, is the pinnacle of their arrangements and technology - some of the hardest played live Wild seeing all the stuff going on in this song and his arrangements fit so well incorporating digital samples with acoustic drums guy could play tennis back there on this chart . Another note you see the shear raw power he pounds the hell out of drum then changes his approach once he studied with Fred grubber plays it with more finesse later tours but switched back to matched grip on charts he plays prior to Freddy instruction era .

Thanks for sharing. This is so great! I’m pretty sure this is a drum clinic Neil did for the drum school students at Musician's Institute in Hollywood. I was at the guitar school there in 89-90 and Neil and Geddy had done clinics there earlier in the 80s. 1985 maybe? Neil was an absolute force on the drums. He’s mashing them. This song has it all. Power, intricate stuff, dynamics. Thanks for the music, Neil! 👊

Im not sure if its known that he said that. I keep hearing that same phrase about alex being said by eddie van halen and other guitarists, and same with other drummers for neil. There are a lot of people who still think bonham was better than neil. But neil himself has said there are many drummers better than him that play stuff he cant play, which is true. Difference is neils lyrics. No drummers can match that.

I'd like to believe that it's true, but I doubt it. Considering that John Bonham died in 1979..That's 5 years after Neil joined Rush. He hadn't had time to establish his status yet and was probably still running below the radar of most other drummers at that point.🤔

In retrospect I wish I would have spent more time studying other great drummers and musicians in general. But finally figuring out a tough time change passage or intricate bit of independence on a rush song was always quite an accomplishment and definitely a whole lot of fun. I can't believe the amount of musicians this band inspired. Just phenomenal. RIP Neil.

I started to watch his left foot, looking for when he hits the trigger. I noticed that he would take his foot off the trigger, and instead of putting it down next door on the hi hat pedal, he would sometimes go past it to the left kick pedal. He didn't play it, just seemed to set his foot there for a second before going to the hats, or back to the trigger. You can see it repeatedly from 3:30 - 4:00. Wonder why he did that?

Neil literally responded personally by letter to all his fans who wrote to him via Modern Drummer until the internet came around & word spread. He was bombarded with thousands of letters he couldn't feasibly answer & apologized he could do it anymore. Granted, he's not as open as Geddy & Alex, but he's reserved & fame can get to a person like Neil. I'm sure he appreciated his fan in his own guarded way.
