I don't think the fact that Ghostsnotes uses them should be held against him.

Hell yeah it can! Sabian is crap... I totally hold it against him.

 

Zildjian. The Only Serious Choice.

Well that's a different story. I still wish he used Zildjians. You think they wouldn't have made him a signature set of cymbals?

Sabian offered a larger sack with dollar sign on the outside...

 

I miss the quick beats... Such a good open/close sound and terrific 'chik'.

 

But I am not fanboi enough to have to have a pair... I have one of the best sounding set of Rock hats I have ever heard! No clunk. Great 'chik'. When I bought them in '91, the guy was like 'Do you want to order a pair of those?'

 

'F*ck no. I want 'these!

 

I refused to believe the rumors when they came out about Neil switching. Bags of cash make people do crazy shit!

I think a sizeable chunk - if not all - of Neil's personal profit from the Sabian signature line of Paragons goes to charity.

That is commendable... His bag with dollar sign comes from Sabian endorsement check and not from the sales of cymbals.

I'm just gonna put this out there:
If I ever happened to run into Neil by some really odd coincidence, I would probably go up to him and say something along the lines of "Thank you for being such a big writing and musical inspiration for me," offer a hand, and walk away.

He actually says in Roadshow that when he randomly encountered a fan, all the fan did was say "Thank you for everything." The message was across, Neil politely thanked him, and that was it. And everyone was happy.

What's wrong with a little admiration?

Not a thing. And nothing wrong with approaching him - or any celeb - in public. I'm sure that his reaction to such an encounter as you describe would be appreciation for your being so considerate, brief and non-apeshit wink.gif

 

But, IMO, going out of one's way to find the address of someone who has been quite adamant about his privacy being important to him is selfish and obnoxious. And maybe a tad fing.gif

I would love to drive by Neil's home when he's out in the front yard staring at ants. I would drop the window down while driving past yelling "Woooooooooo! Neil Purt! 2112, baby! Booooyaaa!", while doing the headbanging gesture. The next day you'd see the for sale sign up.

As creepy as it may or may not be to find out Neils address and drive by his house, it is done everyday in Hollywood, Belair, etc. Tour buses full of people who paid to be driven past their favorite celebs' houses happen throughout the day every day.

You should have made like those kids in Beverly Hills Cop and set off the alarms on all the cars parked along Rodeo!

I think most of us would be mature enough not to aproach a complete stranger based on some hero worship bullshit.Seriously,you openly admit that you would aproach him in public given the chance,that in itself is creepy and downright wrong.

You would offer him some technique advice??? puuuuullease dude give me a break. You said you'd aproach Neil in a completely normal manner.What is normal about a complete stranger approaching another stranger.


I see you have a mounted gong bass drum.Where did you ever come up with that idea???

Your labeling of it as "Hero Worship" is bullsht in itself and far from what it really is. What's wrong with someone wanting to briefly convey their admiration to any tremendously successful entertainer? Are you hoping NP will read your white-knight ass-suckery and feel that-finally- someone understands him and his work- Like Kramer and the Soup Nazi?

 

Also, any truly intelligent person (like NP wants us to believe he is) would take the time to listen to a fellow drummer offering input in regard to improving technique. I'm sure there are many ppl who could surprise Neil on variations of technique.

The dude went out of his way to find Neil's address and drove by his house(I'll bet my life he took a few pics too).He plays dw drums just like neil,has paragon cymbals just like neil,has a gong bass drum just like neil,has an electronic kit behind him just like neil.Plays with goddamn promark Neil Peart signature sticks uhm just like Neil.

 

If that's not pure Hero Worship then what is ???

If anyone does get his address, could you please PM it to me? The Professor doesn't realize it yet, but he and I are soul brothers and are destined to be inseperable. I'm going to hide in his bedroom closet dressed like the posing guy on the Hemispheres cover. When he comes in I'm going to spring out to surprise him, squirt superglue on his head, and then permanently bond my hands to his skull. Then we can live forever in the destiny that is and ever shall be.

Is it just me, or don't you hope that Neil doesn't read threads like this?

Neil knows there are people out there who think he's the greatest thing since powdered toast, and we all know that makes him uncomfortable, but if he read this whole thread I'm pretty sure he'd just shake his head and move on without much thought.

Yeah, you are right.

 

Although, I have to say, powdered toast is way better than Neil Peart. tongue.gif

Well, nothing's better than powdered toast. Even Neil would admit that. yes.gif

Are you clinging tenaciously to my buttocks?

If I had the desire to master drums I'd mimic as closely as I could the ATWAS kit. I wouldn't care if ppl accused me of hero worship. Phuckem, if they think the worst.

Ok since I'm here in la now does anybody know where he lives. I did a lookup and found the area and zipcode but not exactly where. I'm going to the walk of fame and from what it seems, it is not too far away. I know he is not there but it would be nice to see where he lives.


Thanks

resonable enough. you're in LA and you want to do some star-searching. that's what people do I.

 

you certainly don't need to be called fucknut stalker and loser and you certainly don't deserve to be shot up by gangsters in the streets of LA!

 

don't mind the rabid fans on here. yeah, Neil's a private guy and he'll make sure you don't find him. no biggie.

 

 

I always laugh when people get all up in arms when someone desires a little "too much" info on Neil. most, are the same ones who are always calling him a dick! lol

I agree with both of you!

 

Sabian sucks! I bought a few Paragon cymbals to try them out and they are like hitting tin foil. I bought the "effects" package. The splashes are totally weak.

 

Zildjian is the only way to fly. yes.gif

My oldest daughter wants to go to the University Of Santa Barbara to play soccer there in about 4 years.

I will make sure to swing by Neil's house for dinner before we drop Zoe off for college.

I'm sure Neil would love to talk about futbol instead of Freddie Gruber over a few red apples. I prefer the fruit, not the cigarettes.

 

Hopefully my youngest daughter Skylar will be able to play with Olivia by then.
