This last video I really enjoyed. The guy is not doing anything super fast but it just has a lot of natural feeling coming from his soul to his arms and sticks, whereas Neil Peart's looks like rigid, fast accurate drum drills put together in a big routine
You are correct about Neil. Back then he was rigid and played with matched grip for like 30 years. He wanted to improve his playing and worked with Freddie Gruber to help with movement, switching to traditional grip and improving his timing. Playing style then changed after that. Think this was like in the late 90's. The video I posted was earlier.
Found this interesting article about his reinvention of his playing style.
