goose Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'd vote neither. Honestly, I'd like to see Neil shorten it up a bit by cutting out some of the same stuff he's been doing since the mid- seventies. Keep the more rhythmic stuff, and maybe add more musical accompaniment, like that swing arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieces of Eight? Enlighten me, please A solo recorded by Neil which incorporates a lot of use of the midi-marimba. It's also an album by Styx. Included in a Modern Drummer magazine "flexidisc" (who remembers those?) http://www.2112.net/artifacts/volume1/track8/8.html I also remember a contest he held, and the winners entries were on a flexidic too, I think....

Retrospective Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I was just watching Rush in Rio today and I got to O'Baterista and now I am starting to understand how all of you guys voted for it. But you still have to admit that Der Trommler was a good solo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh i have to agree with tht, i like how der tromler eases in with the electric side at the beggining, then Neil smashes in with the acoustic side a bit later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil#2 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I like O Baterista better...but i thought the R30 drumset was better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwing Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Definitely O Baterista! Der Trommler doesn't even count to me because it seemed like too much of a last minute attempt to come up with a different drum solo from the last tour, so he kinda just rearranged O Batterista and threw in some recycled bits from The Rhythm Method that he hadn't played in years.

Pieces of Eight? Enlighten me, please Back in the eighties, Neil played around with his new Midi-Kat Marimba (now known as the Mallet Kat). He wrote a piece named "Pieces of Eight" The public only got the taste of it through Modern Drummer magazine but Neil has used it in every solo since. If you get a chance, pick up Anatomy of a Drum Solo. In here, Pieces of Eight as well as Momo's Dance Party (another piece he wrote) is here for your listening pleasure. As for the choice? Well, see my name? Go see my myspace page....Why? It was structured so much better. Inadvertently on some parts but still much better. Although I love O' Baterista as much. The edge has to go to DT for me. I wonder he named the new solo this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Trommler Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 QUOTE (Deadwing @ Sep 29 2007, 11:47 AM) Definitely O Baterista!

Neil always uses parts of previous solos. Little blurbs that he likes to work in & out. Example: Cowbell solo for All the World's a Stage, then Exit...Stage Left. He changes it a little bit but still remains fairly close to the original. Another, Scars part....Neil has liked using this piece in his solo as well & thus has played almost religously since Presto. Sometimes, it may seem like he just threw it together, he was writing the solo from little movements....Another one is the crossover piece. That has been going for 20+ years now & will never get old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rummut71 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 QUOTE (Fridge @ Apr 13 2006, 05:57 AM) What happened to the "Neither" option? :-) Yeah... Ditch the four minutes of Roland TD-20 wankery and cut to the meat and potatoes. I would much rather have four and a half minutes of all out acoustic drum shredding any day of the week...
