RUSH SUBDIVISIONS by Neil Peart (Drum Sheet music PDF) 

Which other Rush song should I transcribe?

The world became a lot less rhythmic when The Professor left us. Thank God for the rich and beautiful tapestry of music he left us.

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

Innovation, composition, endurance, pure skill, longevity…. A person like this surely one per generation TFD

i love how neil peart sometimes plays the same rhythmic figures as the singing voice, it really makes it all come together so it's not just a drum base but instead an active interaction between all musicians. and plus it makes it seem all so simple when it really isn't, genius!

5:12 its actually really cool watching old and young neil playing that part together

Truly the most precise drummer ever.

This is awesome, two recordings at once, perfect

The best!

O primeiro e único mestre dos bateristas,o maior baterista da história, Neil Peart,seu legado é eterno 😎

Such a huge part of my life! ThNk you Neil! Neil forever!

holy crap. I grew up on Rush and this is amazing.

5:11 In the top right video, slow playback speed, neil hits the crash cymbal early but it makes no noise

GOAT!

I don't mean to get all Boomer (even though I'm gen x) you kids today have no excuses. The teaching tools at your disposal on RU-vid... You can accomplish and be anything you want if you put in the effort!

Nice work putting this together...It's gonna be helpful using this as I take on this drum cover I've always wanted to play...Thanks!

Wow. Damn impressive!

Tremendo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow how did I not know about this?

Had to be tired at the end of a concert. Major exercise.

Una masa! RIP Neil :(

Cuánto laburo, felicitaciones!

Aliens will one day discover this drum score and interpret it as the 9th wonder of our world. And they’ll be right.
