RIP Neil Peart Tribute- Rush The Trees Reaction 

I'm so glad that you get Rush.

“Bang that magical drum set with them fiftyleven drums.” Cracked me up.

I'm 56 and this is the music I grew up on, I truly appreciate your show and I can't say enough how much I get a kick out of the young generation today hearing for the time what it is that old guys are talking about when we reminisce about the music. It's seems to me that the music of my time had more feeling more soal and more identity than the music of today. Who knows maybe it's just me.

R.I.P Master Neil peart.we will never forget you. Thank you PROFESSOR

This young lady is so sharp. Since she is a musician she has more insight and appreciation for a song. Respect to you.

I love this song.

I love it how much you enjoy it because its exactly how Rush makes me feel. RIP Neil Peart.😥🤘

Love this! Celebrating Neil's life is such a great way to remember him and keep alive the magic that he embodied

"Closer to the Heart" deserves a listen too.

I LOVE this chick. She's so damn cute and pretty....AND she likes rock. R.I.P Neil. Thank you girl.

EXIT THE WARRIOR 😇🇨🇦

welcome to the rush family.

It's rather pleasing that you began getting familiar with Neil, his works,... and his magical drum kit, prior to his passing (rather than after). I'd also think he sensed the complementary nature in your reactions/reviews.

Love love your reactions. You really feel, admire and appreceate their music. Cheers from a french Canadian

Great react. Amazing song. Neil Peart was an amazing lyricist. Rest in Peace "Professor". Never will be another band like Rush.

Hey Scribe! Those are called wood blocks I think. If you want a serious dose of THE MAGICAL DRUM SET, have you seen the Neil solo Frankfurt? 2004 I think. You WILL BE floored. Saw him do that live several times. What a blessing. Peace, Phil

OMG u are the best LOL thanks for making me laugh and smile because it SUX that Neil's gone.

I do admire her energy and enthusiasm. She definitely knows how to pay tribute one of the greatest percussionists of all time.

Do the man justice and honor him with a reaction to his "Der Trommler" drum solo. Over eight minutes of pure, drum fury.

Greatest drummer ever. Up there with the other 2 or 3 legends.

We are in need of A farewell To Kings. It's a classic that you dont see many reactions to.

Loved this reaction. You're right on about the song. RUSH 🤘🏽🤘🏽💯💯 #RiPNeil Rush - Witch Hunt

You are spot on about the lyrics. I remember seeing them do this whole album live before in was released and was blown away. Thanks for the love. RIP Professor.

You're correct, Scribe. The Trees exemplifies that we all have different natural attributes and "inequality" in certain respects, doesn't mean "inferiority." Communism is a perfect example; all are equally miserable and poor under control of a government. "....for they passed a noble law and the trees are ALL kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw." Neil was a master lyricist/story-teller. RIP, Neil.

DAMMMM. Geddy tears the Bass up in this. Way better than studio.

Thank you for doing one of my all time favorite songs

It’s obvious you are knowledgeable in music and drums. I love your comments on their hair. Geddy’s looked especially straight and shiny here.

You are a darling. So awesome seeing the joy that you get from the great music of Rush.

Nice tribute to his memory. RIP Neal Peart ! The sound you're hearing is Neal playing wooden gongs. You will hear this also on their song Xanadu.

Much prop to you for honoring the Professor. Peart was a one of a kind master.

So awesome that you discovered the gift of Rush! Welcome to the world of Rush. Your life and what you perceive about it is going to change forever. IN A VERY GOOD WAY! Thanks for the kind words to one of my hero’s.

I'm drumming along with you!

Nice. Great tribute for Neil. 🌲 is my fav Rush song.

This is the right video to see. Thanks. Perfect.

Let's rock N Roll!!! RIP Neal! Thanks so much for celebrating Neal's life. Magical drum sticks ready!

Have to agree that La Villa Stringiato and Xanadu from Exit Stage Left are the pinnacle performances you are interested in. Love to Neil. Thanks.

Neil is hitting temple blocks, which are tuned and made of wood. Very unique percussive instrument. Hope that helps 🥁

Thanks so much for this special tribute. Hope we can do another one. SO SPECIAL!!!!

Hit them licks Neil!!!

One of my favs let's get it, fire one up n press play😂😂😂

Rush - Losing It

You are hilarious, I know your into music, but with your personality you can host an award show. No limitations for you girl. Great reaction always

Wonderful reaction~! So many suggestions to view and react to shows what an impact Neil made. Everyone, from those playing air drums or those who have the kit can all agree that he truly was that pulse to the soundtrack of songs many have in our minds. I believe "Fly By Night" is very suiting. There is an "official" video here. Keep up the great reactions. New subscriber here. :)

Happy Monday beautiful goddess! Another great reaction to one of my favorite bands with one of the GOATs of drumming. Not only I'm glad to be an universal black rock musician but also love your inspiration, your beauty and letting me know that I can keep my dream going at age 37 (going on 38 in October). And also, this is one of my favorite Rush songs too.

Hey there, great channel from a fellow musician drummer; thanks for reviewing the great Neil Peart

Thanks for this you are the only one who deserves all of your likes and followers

They are "temple blocks", made of wood. The differnt sizes give them a different tone.

My simplified interpretation of "Trees": The 'oaks' are the USA and the 'maples' are Canada - national flag emblem is a red maple leaf. Instrumental (partial) interpretation: Neil's rapid-fire striking of the wooden blocks is probably representing a woodpecker because based on my experience with woodpeckers, they love to rapidly peck for insects inside telephone poles - which are formed from maple trees.

5:30 He's hitting wood blocks. Usually 5 or 6 tuned blocks. Appropriate for a song about trees don't ya think?

One of the Best and Insightful reactions i've ever seen!:) Neil Peart and Rush Rule!:)

As a hippy, I LOVE The Trees. No more oppression!

Please react to his drum solo in Frankfurt❤️

You need to do Xanadu. Live exit stage left to really see him use all of the magical drum set!

Those are Temple Blocks that he's hitting in the mellow section.

Another heartfelt and sincere tribute Scribe, THANKS for your appreciation of good music & musicians! I know you dig some Ska and Reggae, so a GREAT Rush song to react to would be “ Digital Man” off of the Signals album. I guarantee you will rock your..socks off girl!! R.I.P. Neil...

RIP what a gigantic hole in the world of music. He was the best but did not hold it over anyone. Humble and helped many others. I saw them perform THE TREES live & it was awesome. A friend was lucky enough to get a set of drumsticks from Neil. I tried to steal them, but alas I failed 😢 This is such an awesome song that is not reacted to much. It is my favorite Rush song, so thank you.

no you don't need to say more... however what you do need to do, right now, is to do "Xanadu" from Exit Stage Left 1981. That's the reaction I want to see from you as you're really starting to pick up on all the subtleties that he's injecting into the song … His drumming on this will blow your mind.

Scribe you had me laughing all the way through the whole video. You're so funny. Lol!

Great reaction girl, RIP Neil!!!!!!!

4:50 to about 5:20 are tuned woodblocks! I had a 6 piece. Neil made 25 pieces sound like 3 people. 🙏 👀

ScribeCash, you have a great voice. When can we expect a Rush cover from you? Get on it. Sales of their music is up 2000%.

Such an amazing song!!!

This tune is off of the album, Hemispheres, and it was released in 1978...

You just made day, you have incredible music taste!!

Have you done La Villa Strangiato? If not let's get it.

Scribe, you are the best! Love watching you react to Rush. I have heard every song in their catalogue hundreds of times some songs thousands of times and I still laugh in amazement at what Neil, Geddy, and Alex were able to do. Great song and I look forward to air drumming with you in the next Rush reaction... Maybe Jacob's Ladder?

“Vital Signs” one of their best songs ever. Really deep on the lyrics though, might need to ave them play along for those that are new to Rush.

It's too bad you never got the chance to see them live. I saw them live twice, and they more than lived up to their reputation. They just kept doing one amazing thing after another. And there was a vibe about them that made you feel like you were tuned in to another world, another level of existence where everything was more real than real, and you had access to all kinds of subtle truths. Very few musicians can make that happen. Rush did it consistently for 40 years. I'm glad you found them, and the others your do reactions to. I'm glad you have the ears and the heart to hear this.

. if you choose not too decide you still have made a choice. I Will never forget you Neil. thank you miss for doing this, it gives you wider ranging atmospheres to see them cities of light when you open your eyes on the passage to Bangkok, enjoy.

Those are called Temple Blocks. Neil was so innovative in how he incorporated percussive instruments.

Neil is a one man percussion section for real. Those are wood blocks

Please do Didacts and Narpets. Early rush from 75. Basically a 2 plus minute drum solo from the man with magical drum kit.

Also ,you go girl. It's amazing to me when someone says they don't care for RUSHES music. Many there not really listening?

great reaction...you know your rush

Scribe got my scribe with this one

U know he was the main song writer

There is always a delay between the sound and the videos. Maybe a second or two .Not sure if you ever noticed. Other than that I enjoy the reactions 👍

Wood blocks are a percussion instrument.

you need to watch one of his drum solos from Rush in Rio or R30 tour or David Letterman

Great reaction per usual! Check out La Villa Strangiato! It's almost like an intro to this song. Same sound.

Awesome Scribe. Thanks. Love how much you appreciate this band. RIP Neil. Master Professor.

He’s playing the “Temple Blocks”...that’s the wooden sound you hear ,and you’d asked what it was he was playing...

What’s great about this song is it can be interpreted multiple ways. The way Neil created it was he found the idea of trees acting human as Humorous. He was reading a comic in the newspaper IIRC. Also, check out Xanadu on ESL (Exit Stage Left.) it’s an amazing performance. Red barchetta was also great.

He is hitting "Roto-toms" in that soft section. They are small, tunable drums that usually come in 3s, and are set before the larger Toms on the kit.

Awesome reaction, please do Afterimage by Rush. One of my favorites and fitting for this moment. Thanks

Thank you 👍

Anything from the Clockwork Angels tour show is excellent. Their last tour together was R40. I saw both in Portland OR. 🙂

you're amazing.

Its plywood okay a cow bell ,he hits the edge of them with his sticks to get the wood dull sound .But on the album in studio he used plywood,he even gets credited for it .

Let's go Neil!!!

Dang girl..mellow out

Wood blocks. Each vary in tone do to their sizes.

He was a well read. man ad its Neal P (EAR) T

Neil Ellwood Peart September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020 #neilpeart #thegreatestdummerever #theprofessor #bubba

Hell yeah !!!

Nice video and tribute

I love your channel.😎

Temple blocks

This is one of those Rush songs that are just super powered by the great and profound lyricist and drummer Neil Peart There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples And they're quite convinced they're right They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade? There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream 'oppression!' And the oaks, just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, Axe, And saw This is really a commentary on the deception of Marxist thinking, the philosophy of greed and envy and how an appeal to social justice can lead to tyranny and the loss of even the noblest principles of life. I think at the time he was strongly influenced by Ayn Rand. He moved away from it later. Ayn Rand's great defect was her rejection of God and faith, which really was the catalyst and even underpinning of the Christian Renaissance. But of course that's another story.
