I've always thought he was one of, if not the best, drummer of all time. Plus he writes some really interesting lyrics.

Saw RUSH as one of my 1st concerts in '76 at a small movie theatre in port chester ny. They were the warm up for blue oyster cult and stole the show. It was incredibly loud!!! Good to see them still kickin' it.

Not even sure there is anyone even close. I've been a huge fan since '76. Not sure how many times I've seen RUSH, but I'll bet it's over 20

Cool as shit. Thanks Greg for sharing.

I have been a big Peart fan since I was 10.

I remember arguing with my High School band teacher about how Niel blows Buddy Rich out of the water. After a couple of days of me showing him the light, he agreed whole heartedly.

There will never be anyone as good as Niel, and he makes it look easy. Stewart Copeland was great until he got tied up in International (tribe) music.

Thanks again Greg.

A guy I work with is a mega-fan of Peart's. He stood in line just to see Peart's drum kit went on tour. That's right - the drum kit went on tour. Not Neil. No one playing it. Just sitting there and people lined-up to see it.

One of the best drummers out there. As mentioned in another post, he is also a great writer. He has written 4 books with his 5th just about to come out.
In his book "Roadshow" he talks about this drum solo .It was recorded in Frankfurt on the R30 tour. He wasn't satisfied with it. Wanted it to be better. Damn good solo if you ask me.
