@@jeffbunnell Thank you for saying that. At least one person agrees with me! I've only seen Buddy Rich on video and there was one where he was drumming so fast his hands blurred. You know? I am not a drummer (tried to be) but I appreciate that kind of talent. I'm just a bit tired of all these accolades to Neil Pearl and really (am I too old [55]) I have even heard of Rush. Perhaps because I live in New Zealand. These posts say he was The Master of Drumming. Is that true Jeff? And if so, or thereabouts, how do I get a recording where I can hear the drumming isolated? I am partially deaf so I find it difficult to hear what you hear. Drums and bass... okay - then too much and I can't hear each instrument. Get what I'm saying?

Like the way I'm a fan of Rolling Stones from U.K., Bruce Springsteen from U.S.A. or John Legend or Jimmy Hendrix. The fact is, as so much we can open ourselves to the World, Neil Peart was a big part of our modern rock heritage, here, in Canada. So many students in music, espiecially drummers have learned about his technics and tolls. We don't call him "Professor" for nothing.

From day one Rush has been my soulmate band. 1974 I was 14 & three yrs trying to play bass. Then I heard working man I found my influence geddy & Niel Peart. Well John rutsey then in 75 By-Tor anthem man I was obsessed. This is hard to take. Pratt, yer the greatest drummer of all time. R.I.P.

Neil Peart was the perfect drummer for Rush. Not only was he a perfect fit for the band, but he also wrote all of the lyrics for the music, and is an all around very good musician. That being said, without a specified platform, there is no greatest drummer. We have bands locally that have nailed covering Rush tunes. If you want to discuss the most technical drummers then you're comparing Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl, Terry Bozzio, and those cats. If you're talking speed then you have George Kolias, Mike Mangini, etc. What Neil has done as well as any drummer is take odd timed phrasings and make them sound interesting... so much so that the average person doesn't even realize that anything is being played in odd time. That is the mark of a really good musician. In the end, I don't really care if someone can play 16th notes at 200 beats a minute (although it is cool to see). How do you make the songs sound... that is what really matters.

+Anthony Yanni Thank you. Finally someone who isn't just a fanboy and bitching about who their favorite drummer is and why Neil Peart isn't "the best". An argument worth agreeing with. Thank you, sir. Hat is off to you.

Neil has an amazing ability to progress the beats and fills throughout the song adding flavor and complexity to the foundation as the song moves forward.
