Greetings everyone! Welcome back to Groovy Thursdays.
This weeks offering are “5 Stupendous Neil Peart grooves”. Neil was such an iconic drummer. His gift to the world of drums and rock-n-roll in general cannot be understated. He was huge and deservedly so.
I picked these 5 grooves specifically to help work on the coordination between your kick drum and hi-hat. Neil was great at doing very clean stabs on the hi-hat and to get them really clean and powerful you need to practice. Listen to sound of Neil's hi-hat on these songs and others. It is precise and beautiful. These are the little things that can bring your drumming to another level. There is so much to learn from Neil's playing. He had great passion for the instrument and we can definitely all learn from that.
Cheers!

Just pure magic.

@tazdrum73 Год назад

Just the other day I was watching your GT video on Pat Torpey and wished you would do something like this for Neil’s playing - well here it is! Thank you for this! Your passion for drumming and music in general is truly infectious and your ease and ability to demonstrate and explain various drum parts is awesome!

Neil always had great composed parts that were so iconic. You could almost choose any 5 rush songs and find absolute gems.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Agreed! Thank you for watching!

The beginning of "show dont tell" is ma fav

@ZofoZofo Год назад

I always consider the best Rush songs are the ones when Neil was at his absolute best. Thanks Nick. We consider you an honoury Englishmen in the rock world !

@BenedettoMarcello846 Год назад

Fantastic... Bravooooo

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Many thanks!!

@mariano3516 Год назад

Beatiful tribute! Really appreciate your amazing interpretation Nick! You are a giant behind the drums! I would love to see you with Geddy and Alex. 💪💪💪👏👏👏

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Well that would be cool! Thank you Mariano!

@sgtLPH Год назад

I keep enjoying this series more and more. Thanks for all the effort, Nick :)

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!

@scottyecora Год назад

I discovered Prog Rock with Spock's Beard and don't know much about "classic" bands like Rush. Hearing these grooves, I better understand why Neil Peart is such a revered drummer!

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you Scott!

@kilianbeylymusic7283 Год назад

You can hear the whole song just by listening to the drum parts... I miss Neil's magic :'( That being said, you definitely belong to the few who stay true to his legacy 💪😎 Great as always Nick 👏

@ProgSnob14 Год назад

So awesome! One of my favorites covering another!!! Excellent choices as well.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you Stephen!

@MichaelVLang Год назад

No one can replicate what he did over 2000+ extremely intense shows in front of millions. A unicorn indeed.

@doggity5149 Год назад

Neil was surely one of the greats, but man I've been listening to old Spock's records again and you are such a legend in your own right. I hope you know that.

@jonfiala1144 Год назад

I think we all have some great Rush stories. Thanks for sharing yours, NDV!

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you Jon!

@sonormatt Год назад

Thanks Nick, absolutely LOVE this video! Neil was the greatest. It always amazed me not just how fantastic his drum parts were, but he was FLAWLESS live. So consistent across hundreds, thousands of shows. Night to night he would just nail every song and he played with such POWER. Man, what a player. You did an awesome job with this video Nick, I really like your playing and stories. 😁

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch SonorMatt!

@kevinbozman2572 Год назад

Great vids. Hopefully I'll see you with Mr Big near the Baltimore Area.

@mnto5879 Год назад

We've got to see an overview of the cymbals again, there are so many interesting pieces here they all sound beautiful as well. loving the Thursday videos keep it up Nick! 🤙

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you!

@paulk1 Год назад

Neil was one of my biggest influences as a drummer growing up!

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thanks for watching Paul!

@paulk1 Год назад

@@NDVirgilio Hey thanks Nick, hope all is with you. Your one of my favorite drummers too, and a great singer. I enjoy your commentary, reviews, and just great jammin! Rock On Nick!

@TinnyHidge Год назад

Thanks for this, Nick! Neil was massively influential to me - my 1st drum idol actually. 🤘🙂👍

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you Tony!

@andrewglasmacher Год назад

Nicely done, Nick! You too, are a drummer’s drummer! I had read in that era, Neil preferred 13” hi hats because he felt they responded more quickly to his hat work. I think he personified the blending of creativity with precision, and he certainly influenced me in a big way.

@PabloJ1968 Год назад

Here!

@mlhbrx96 Год назад

"Pratt" loved to incorporate the hi hat 16 beat, to express his love of disco! Such a legend! 🥁

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thanks Marc!

@donaldstiles397 Год назад

Neil,was a prodigy, I think he was able to tap into the left side of his brain deeper than most in his drumming and music writing.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Agreed. Thank you Donald!

@justinbeaney8168 Год назад

Wonderful to hear you playing those great Neil Peart grooves Nick. I remember my older brother bringing home Moving Pictures the day it was released and I was like “whoaaa”. As someone else mentioned before, getting a breakdown of the Weapon from Signals would be amazing.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you Justin!

@pierrebergeron956 Год назад

Thanks Nick, you are a man of your word! Sure wish you could have delved in a little deeper, but I think your idea to throw in multiple grooves was very adequate, a statement on its own. Great analysis on the stabs too

@NDVirgilio Год назад

It is difficult to know sometimes how deep to go. These videos could be very long and I don't want to bore anyone. I'm hoping they inspire and entertain. Cheers Pierre!

@andrewmcgee1001 Год назад

Thanks Nick for posting! I recall hearing '2112' for the first time when it was first released and thinking OMG..who are these guys?? I had the privilege of seeing Rush for their 'Moving Pictures' tour..my brother and I were down on the floor maybe 20 feet from the stage. An amazing show.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thank you for watching Andrew!

@jacehall4879 Год назад

Loved your playing but what I loved even more was your insight! Neil was so specific and precise! Loved what you referenced with his playing of the tip on the hi hat rather than the shoulder! I look up to Neil Peart because he’s a drummer that as soon as the playing starts, you know it’s him. Another one is Mike Portnoy. You ever play any of Portnoy’s parts? That would be awesome! Cheers!

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thanks for watching Jace. MP grooves are on my list. Cheers!

@psaikogroove Год назад

great video man!i’d like to ask you,and why not,demonstrate on a video,what’s your vision of jazz drumming,who your favourite jazz drummers are,and how they influenced your drumming.in lindness of,v,and snow there are a some “swinging drum parts”.cheers from Italy.

@bélalugrisi Год назад

Hey Nick! Anyone ever tell you that you have great taste in music, color and Sun Sign? Cheers fellow Scorpio! Really enjoy your channel! Are there any KG grooves you could share with us? ☮, ❤& 🎶 / 🌎

@NDVirgilio Год назад

For sure. There are some great KG grooves to demo. Thank you for watching Bela!

@jtchivers Год назад

Ahh, lazy left hand snare ghost notes. Can relate. But they sound so nice! 😁 Nice job here, Nick. I like your style of playing, quite often because of that lovely ghost note stuff you do, but great to hear you laying down some of the Professor's lines.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Thanks for watching John!

@pierrebergeron956 Год назад

Be honest: would you have been able to recognize the song these grooves are from? I mean, just by listening? For me, Subdivisions and La Villa for sure. For the other 3, probably not, unless I was given a hint. A little “name that tune” vibe in this video!

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Some you just know instantly Pierre. Cheers!

@roddmcleodable Год назад

staccato stabs indeed

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Yes!

@zebonaut Год назад

Thank you so much … I hoped to find “The Weapon”..which isn’t really a groove but very strange rhythmic melodic pattern. But : please, could you break it down for us? 🙏🏻

@NDVirgilio Год назад

I will put that one on the list for sure. Thank you!

@pcs56 Год назад

Awesome job, Nick. But. I think the roll at the end of the Subdivisions intro is a single stroke on the snare instead of a double stroke. :-)

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Those are some of those nuanced things in Neil's playing that are hard to figure out. You are probably correct. There is also a flam at the end of the roll that is so hard to do. I bet it is probably easier getting there from the single stroke roll. Good call Speck. Thanks for watching!

@kmburkhart 7 месяцев назад

My first stretch goal as a new drummer (but not a new musician) is to get Subdivisions down!

@cartelesargentinos Год назад

great job master Nick, one question, how did Neil hit the drums so hard? tremendous arm power, right?

@ProgSnob14 Год назад

I'd like to see you touch on some Fates Warning, especially since you did such a killer job when Mark left.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

OOhhh! That was an intense but super fun gig. Good Idea Stephen. Thank you!

@markmullen1852 Год назад

Hey Nick, whats the reason you keep switching drum kits. Ive seen you use Ludwig, Sonor and now DW. Is there a brand that is your "#1" choice? Id love to know your absolute favorite drum setup.

@wooshipuh Год назад

How about a Groovy Thursday delving into Alan White or Jeff Porcaro?

@PabloJ1968 Год назад

You could be without any doubt, a great replacement for Neil ( or any other drummer missed in their band (Foo Fighters?) if Alex and Geedy decide to do another tour. You fit perfectly and above all, knows, understand and respect all the nuances than made Neil’s drumming approach so special. You are a machine and a PRO League’s Pro.

@NDVirgilio Год назад

Wow! Thank you Pablo!

@thecoolfatdude Год назад

5 iconic NP grooves and you didn't touch Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves or Xanadu.... just goes to show you how many more killer grooves are out there ;)

@NDVirgilio Год назад

There are so many. I finally had to just pick some and go. That leaves room for more NP groove videos though! Cheers
