The first part of the video is me talking a bit about my history with the Modern Drummer Festival and the 2nd half (starting around 2:50) is a tribute to Neil soloing in HIS style and playing some of my favorite moments of his. Enjoy and Happy Birthday to the Professor! 🥁🎂

I'm a truck driver from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada, and as such had made many deliveries and pick ups at Sabian in Meductic New Brunswick< Canada. One one occasion. while being unloaded I had asked for a tour of the factory. I got to meet with some of the artisans who made Neil's cymbals by hand. They had said that he was the most pleasant drummer to work with when he had visited the factory, getting his cymbals designed. I have a few pictures of what they call the vault, and some of other drummers in their museum who endorse Sabian products. It really was a great experience to see the factory.

Great story. Very cool of them to do that for you!

Thank you Mike for this tribute to one of, if not the best rock drummers of all time.There will never be another Neil Peart. Rest in peace Professor. Cheers from Toronto Canada.

Impressed. And I'm even more impressed that I knew exactly which songs he was playing. I sure miss these guys.

I was so fortunate as to have been able to take Neal Peart out on a horse ride up at diamond lake Oregon, where I’m from he came in riding a all-terrain BMW motorcycle. It was his last solo trip before his passing. It was such an honor I always wanted to meet him RIP, Neil Peart

@timothyweiss619 Год назад

Awesome Mike, keeping the love for Neil in our ears and hearts. Mike if Alex & Geddy ever go out and tour as Rash, I sure hope you're behind the drum kit for it. Rock On !!

@_Moya_Ten_ Год назад

Thanks Mike Portnoy. I'm always glad to see you, but especially to hear, your work is magnificent. I heard you for the first time somewhere in 2007, then you recorded video drum lessons and met dream theater, it’s a pity that you left the group, but I still love you, I’m from Israel, we listen to you here all the time. Thank you!!!

@btairborne71 Год назад

Thanks for keeping the "Professor" alive Mike!! 7Jan 2020 was a very sad day for the drum world and the world as a whole, Neil Peart was a true inspiration to many of us drummers, if you can nail a song on the kit like Neil played it, it was definitely an accomplishment. One of the first Rush songs back in my earlier days that really inspired me to "try" and play like Neil that I still play today is "Subdivisions", this is a Rush classic in my opinion and just a great song to try and play the Neil Peart way. Great Tribute Mike!!

@@DB-kl9bp it sure sounds like it but he plays it differently perhaps that's why I missed it. Anyway, there you have one more to the list, Rush On!

@commonman317 Год назад

The Signals tour was my first ever concert, and I was only 15 years old. I was mesmerized seeing Neil's red drum set up close. They were so beautiful. I'm a life-long amateur drummer, while Mike Portnoy is an iconic professional. Yet, we both share a genuine love and a deep appreciation for Neil and his playing.

@soppanaamas 10 месяцев назад

it's so bizarre reading the comments. i swear the hater(s) is just one person with a bunch of throwaway accounts just to shit on you. brainless one-note criticism of your excellent playing. love what you do mike. keep on rocking man!

@alexsartandmusic 9 месяцев назад

Of course! It's always dumb455es who just try to jab at Mike because he's "not Todd Sucherman or Greg Bissonette or etc.", it's always the same losers that just compare apples with oranges and end up looking like even bigger losers. Mike is Mike. Mike is that one young prog drummer from the late 80s and early 90s, in the band that kept the genre alive when grunge ruled the waves. Mike is, even if they don't like him, an influence for a lot of people. Mike's artistry and talent is evident in all the Dream Theater records. He's got ALLLL the marks of what made other drummers like Neil Peart great. I would consider Mike's work with DT to be an ACHIEVEMENT for this side of the drumming spectrum. He's a big deal for a reason! They don't like him because they don't like him, is what I'm trying to say.

@magick1969 Год назад

Mike is fantastic as he should be with his discography of work. Yet, he would no doubt say he's not at the Professor's level and you can see it throughout. No one is as consistent in pressure/applied force on the kit from end to end as Neil. His efficiency of energy with each strike, to his harmonies always transitioning seamlessly from end to end, without any one piece overpowering/volume drowning out other elements is readily apparent. Watching Neil perform this set with his original kit he makes every bit seem like an extension of himself. Nothing misses their part in time and tempo.

@Steven-xd5kn Год назад

Had that very same Neil Peart banner back in the '80s. Unfortunately lost track of it over the decades. Beautiful kit man... 🤘🏻

@RandyHanley Год назад

Mike, you're a genius across so many different areas. Bands, Drums, Movie, Audio Engineering...etc. Great Video!

@craigmoggy3461 Год назад

All you're missing is the live reverb and the crowd cheering you on!! Well done, I believe the Professor would have been humble yet proud of your recreation.

@Elric70 Год назад

Thank you Mike, I love hearing some of those familiar rhythms.

@jeffhurley756 Год назад

Your respect for Neil in the way speak of him and precision in the way you play his part makes me hope that if Rush goes out on tour again, you will be sitting on the throne that was once occupied by the king. You and Neil have always been two of my favorite drummers. I got to see you with DT and I was always blown away. Hope to see you on tour with Rush. Hey Geddy and Alex, we need to see more of you and Mike is the guy for the job.

Always love it when Mike does Neil & Rush tributes. He is the only one out there that really nails the feel as close as possible while also putting his slightly heavier tasteful twist on it. Perfecto Mike! Cheers!

A tribute from one of my favorite drummers, to my favorite drummer/lyricist/author/theologian. An absolutely AMAZING piece Mike, you managed to pick out so many very distinct parts that are so clearly Neil. Particularly the intro to Digital Man made my hair stand up! Thanks for sharing this to your channel for us all to see!

@BaconIsNotBiceps Год назад

SO damn inspiring. I haven't played drums in about 30-years but miss the hell out of it. My last kit was a 9-piece Tama Rockstar with 4 mounted, two floor, double bass, snare and all Zildjian cymbals. I miss that kit a lot. Bought it off a guy at work because it was reminiscent of my idol, Neil Peart. I very much remember that solo and those songs. Spot on, brother. Thank you so much.

@jdavishornet Год назад

Probably a lot of people could. But mike would be great choice.

@drummerdan95 Год назад

No disrespect to Mike but Alex and Geddy shouldn't and probably won't ever tour as Rush again. The odd appearance to jam a couple songs is cool but Rush already ended on the perfect note, time to let it rest. ...but, hypothetically, if they did, Gavin Harrison would be the pick.

A great drumming medley by Mike. Some solo stuff, By-Tor, Digital Man etc. I think back to all of those hours I spent trying to learn Neil's drum parts back in the day. Mike's playing here makes me miss my drum set, as he is having so much fun. Great, enjoyable video! R.I.P. Neil.

@toddkloes478 5 месяцев назад

This is amazing. Please call Geddy and Alex and have them discuss a tribute tour with you on a replica of one of Neils classic kits. Steal Queen's idea of playing Freddie's legendary call and response "Ay-oh" on the video screen, and play YYZ or Der Trommler on the video screen while you guys exit stage left.

@stevedriscoll2539 11 месяцев назад

@flavy1000 Год назад

I love that kit..and that sound! Much better that the latter drums he had., perhaps , due to the simplicity of not to much embellishments... And, though Neil himself always tells out that on that period he didn't like the way he was drumming, because, it was "too tough" or something, I love it, much more than the way he played afterwards ( which I obviously love too!!), when he undoubtedly grabbed the jazz grip and so on, from the training he did about ,changing his hitting style... Thanks Mike, that's a Gem!♥

You are super human and a kind one at that. Cheers bro'.
