Never saw a drummer like Peart. He was never not doing something with those sticks.......and it always fit perfectly.

But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.”

Tom Hanks to play Peart in an upcoming movie? I swore that's who I was watching in those videos.
I have always had a Mt. Rushmore of rock drummers --
John Bonham
Keith Moon
Neil Peart
Stewart Copeland
We lost an all-timer today. RIP, Mr. Peart.

This is weird timing. I just wasted a bunch of time yesterday watching Rush and more specifically Neil Peart videos.
He'll be missed.
He'll be missed.
In addition to his virtuoso drumming don't forget that he was the primary lyricist for Rush.
Blake Richardson, Thomas Pridgen, Chris Pennie just some younger drummers that will blow your mind. Peart, Bonham, Baker were great but drums are like a different instrument these days.
As a drummer myself I’m sad, Peart, Bonham, and jimmy chamberlain are those who have shaped my drumming, Jimmy is my favorite since my all time favorite band is The Smashing Pumpkins. RIP Neil thank you so much for aspiring me to drum!!!
I am not a Rush fan by any stretch, but I can appreciate great musicians and this guy was the real deal. One of the all time greats. 67 is pretty young. Here is a picture of his kit that he played during the opening sequence of "Hockey Night in Canada", which is a pretty big deal in Canada. The kit is now in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
