Day 703 - Day 338
( Instrumental )
The Rhythm Method: Neil Peart (Rush), A Show of Hands
Anyone who has been to a Rush concert has experienced a Neil Peart drum solo. What that mad can do with the skins always leaves me blown away and in a state of awe and wonder. I often ask myself “how the hell does he even do that?”
I was on my way to Philmont Boy Scout camp in 1988 when my friend told me to listen to this song. I asked what band was playing with him and how many drummers were on stage, and he told me “just one, but that’s the best drummer in the world…” After that night I wanted to learn percussion. My friends were all drummers and they thought I wanted to learn so I could be “cool like them”, but it was because I was inspired by Neil Peart.
I taught myself to play percussion just like I taught myself every other instrument I play. After high school I played on the SWT (now Texas State) Drumline in San marcos where we kicked a lot of ass and took a lotta names… thanks for the inspiration Neil!
*** Artist Notes ***
Drumming in the traditional style (left hand pose) and the rock style (twirling sticks) LOL.
