Rush's drumming and the longing for Neil

[JoãoCarvalho]

 

On the eve of his new world tour, we're revisiting an impressive documentary to see Neil Peart from a different perspective and understand how the instrument helped build one of the greatest sounds in rock history.

Don't you post anywhere else on here apart from the Rush section?.....it's the least interesting part of the forum.

So much marketing crap about the building of a drum kit that was the worst sounding instrument he played in his whole career.

13,000 year old trees turned into a drum kit for him.

Maybe not 13K, but still some ridiculously old number for the waterlogged logs. 

To turn them into a drum kit. 

That never sat right with me.

The trees being used for the kit never bothered me, but I have never been a fan of the DW sound, I honestly don't know why Neil stuck with DW for so long. I think the absolute best drum sound Neil had was when he was using Tama Drums. A close second would be Ludwig.

So what you're both saying is that Neil...

 

...was having trouble with the trees.
