NEIL PEART of RUSH plays 'The Camera Eye' missing a TOM at the Ahoy Arena Rotterdam 27-May-2011

Neil Peart plays "The Camera Eye" while Lorne "Gump" Wheaton repairs and replaces one of his toms. Open-Heart Surgery on a live patient! Neil looks happy to get is tom back and is at his finest.

Alex Lifeson is the most underrated, under appreciated guitarist of his generation.

Neil's kit has become so big over the years that they are still building it after the show starts...

We all owe these guys the biggest thank you.. We are in debt. They earned every penny they have ever made and deserve every penny. They have made my life a better place and i'm sure they have yours too :-) There has never been another band like RUSH, and NEVER will be. Period....

And that - ladies and gentlemen - is why we call him "The Professor". Well played sir!

Prima Donna.... NOT!!! Peart's little smile and tilt of his head after realizing that the tom made it back for an important flare was precious. But not so much as the look and smile of acknowledgment given to the technician for getting it back to him while still playing. The smile lingering for 4 to 5 seconds after just shows how appreciative he is about the people around him.

Props to the camera dude. One of the best "home" videos I've seen.

As a drummer, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! for zooming in so others can watch him at work.... its so stinkin hard to try & see how he plays his various fills & rudiments. Glad to see he goes back to the advanced basics in the beginning here...
many thanks

I love the way he smiles at 4:35. He's glad to have that tom back. I also like the way looks over at Gump at 4:42, as if to say "thank you"!

I think it's ok if Neils missing a tom. He's got atleast 43 others to hit ;)

[armhammer]

That's like getting a flat tire changed while doing 80 mph!

Neil is truly such a bad ass! Love how he goes from traditional to matched grip effortlessly. The guy has put his time in, that's for sure!

My one and only Rush show was at Saratoga, NEw York on 7/23/2010 and it was freezing and raining all day. Cleared up about a half hour before the show started. Geddy actually said "Thank you for enduring the rain! And thank you for WANTING to sit through 3 hours of this stuff!"

Also, these guys are the Gods of music

Started listening to Rush this year and there's so much to them that makes them great. Neil's little things here and there are just crazy. This has become one of my favorite song, the drums are just amazing.

Excelent camera steadiness... congratulations!

[petescarinzi]

THAT is why he is the master! He doesn't miss a beat at all and just continues to play like there is nothing wrong with his kit!

[TheMoonchild]

My childhood idols. Love and gratitude for their out of this world music. May they live for more than 1, 000, 000 years.

Always a privilege to watch a / the master play !! You would never no he's missing a Tom until the roadie brings it out .

[Marz]

Excellent footage. Hats off to the camera man.

I saw them in Virginia Beach (May) on the 2014 Clockwork Angels tour.  I can't remember the song, but I happened to be looking at a big screen when I saw Neil toss a stick in the air...and he missed it coming back down.  He grabbed another one lickety split, and if I hadn't been watching the screen, I would never have known he screwed up, because there was nothing sounding off on the drumbeat.  A consummate professional, this video just proves it!  thanks for posting my friend.
