Janie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thank you! I just finished reading Neil's update. I look forward to those and enjoy reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyswing Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've only scanned it but I think it's pretty cool that someone seen as one of the best rock drummers in the world isn't so high on himself that he won't submit to someone else's instruction. Sure, he was trying to improve his abilities in a different form of drumming, but still. He could have been, "Aw, man! I'm Neil Peart! I'm the baddest of the bad! I don't need IN-struction!" Instead, he took the time to seek out someone who could help him and listened to their advice. Glad he shared this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowSnake Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I always enjoy those updates. It's cool to read about Neil's lessons with Peter Erskine. "For the first time in recorded history, I commenced to SWING!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course his life would be perfect with his wife and daughter but otherwise its going great for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time NEP swings is when he goes to a party and chucks in his car keys to see who he gets, or maybe a bit of dogging in Sainsbury's carpark.

Verena Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Neil's way to tell stories is a way to make fans closer to things he lives. It seems he learnt a lot in this experience. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I knew he wasn't happy with his performance in 1992, but I had no idea it had gone so poorly for him. No wonder he was nervous this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I really enjoyed reading that and thanks for posting. It's refreshing to learn that after all the years Neil has been playing that he can still take the trouble to study again. This is one of the qualities that truly does make a great musician - Bravo Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think Neil's far too self-conscious / self-deprecating about his drumming ability. But it's obvious that he's not a jazz drummer and never will be because jazz is about improvisation and flowing with the moment not scripted, rehearsed parts. The original Burning for Buddy sessions f*cked with his head too much. He's not been the same since. It's cool and all that he's taking lessons I guess but if you have to think about swinging then it's not in you. That isn't bad or good it's just the way it is and he should stick to rock drumming, his particular brand of rock drumming that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
