lifeson90 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Been giving Alien Shore a lot of love recently and the drumming particularly rich, cymbals all over place so real In fact drumming on whole of CP my fav of all the albums possibly, even The Speed Of Love becomes a glorious track when you focus on the drums Edited June 15, 2018 by lifeson90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 What's your favorite Rush drum performance? Mine is the hopelessly immortal Xanadu So easy. Every drumming second on "Hemispheres." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Barchetta Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Good post. I've seen several here that you don't normally think about. Someone said "The Weapon". Killer drum intro to that song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 So many, but for sure the albums AFTK/Hemispheres is what initially convinced me that Peart was a demi-god amongst mere mortals in the rock drum world. After that, I really like Digital Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatribein Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I have to say, one of the elements of music I least pay attention to are the drums. I prefer music with drums, but have difficulty appreciating the nuances of different drummers or performances. One of the things I disliked about heavy metal as a genre of music, was the fact that concerts would often be stopped for some inane drum solo. It always feels like such a complete waste of time. We could get a whole other song if not for the damn drum solo. I feel the same way about live performance guitar & bass solos where the band vacates the stage so that a musician can twiddle for a while. Still, nothing was worse than a drum solo. If I had assigned seats, it was 100% guaranteed pee time! All that said, I gave this question the respect it deserves and listened to many songs specifically for the drums. I took a lot of time to carefully pay attention to drumming I felt was unique or special and really brought something interesting to the song. The conclusion I came to may not be popular on the board. My favourite drum performance on any RUSH album is Red Lenses on Grace Under Pressure. The drumming on it is amazing and it includes a small drum solo that not only doesn't take away from the song, but adds to it. I feel like the drumming on that song is so full and interesting that you could strip it down to just vocals and drums and still have a song. Granted it wouldn't be as good, because the other elements work perfectly, but I feel like the drums are the driving force and heartbeat of that song. I know it is one of the ones that is largely hated here, but in my opinion the drumming on it is spectacular.

Contrarian facts from what might be growing into TRF's most alternative perspective, but darn if Neil doesn't put together one of his headiest beats without loosing his groove on Red Lenses. Geds bass work on that one is super underrated as well, I actually just noticed that as the track was running out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
