Members CHUCK HERBERT Posted August 25, 2002 Members Share Posted August 25, 2002 Going to see Neil October 15th in baltimore for the 7th time !! If you get a chance go see Neil and RUSH you won't be dissapointed. What are your thoughts on Neil and has he inspired you as a drummer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scheming Demon Posted August 25, 2002 Members Share Posted August 25, 2002 Neil is one of my personal favorites and has inspired me more than any other single drummer. I'm such a Rush fan that I've been in a Rush tribute band before and a friend of mine asked if I wanted to do it again. Which I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fafnir777 Posted August 26, 2002 Members Share Posted August 26, 2002 Well, He really didn't inspire me until his video came out. Sure, I thought he was killer, but by the same token, I had a hard time listening to RUSH because I thought the timing was too Rigid and had no "groove" to it (I'm from the Appice/Bonham/Paice/Powell School of drumming. My Timing is very good, but everything's got to a "flowing" feel to it, rather than a mechanical feel.) When Neil put out the Video and Test for Echo came out, THEN I was really impressed, because he had added the Groove to his playing....I was completely blown away by it, and then I started practicing my ass off, which was something I hadn't done in years....sure I put in practice every day, but instead of just practicing normally, I began doing things like spending an extra half hour on certain rudimetns, or the fact that I began spending an extra 2 hours a week just double kicking.So yeah, he gave me a big kick in the ass. I haven't heard the new RUsh yet, but I'm going to have to get it just to see how he's sounding, because I loved the Interview MD did. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the grooves on that disk (no pun intended) are much deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
