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.

    Probably did a 20 minute warm back stage before doing the 5 minute performance. He was such a great drummer because he worked hard to get to that level and maintain it.

    Neil Peart have been my favourite drummer for decades, the guy is an absolute master and there will NEVER be another. I've seen Rush 5 times live and honestly I was so fixated on Neil that I forgot Geddy and Alex were even there half the time. If there is a Rock'n'Roll heaven they just got one hell of a drummer upgrade .. R.I.P

    I'm a guitarist and watching him just gives me chills... Just finished my first historical book on Rush... Called Rush: Chemistry
    The professionalism of these three musicians is off the charts... Reading about them somehow really fired up my practice time on guitar, quite an inspiration...

      Frank Yeah I get you there. Most of the music I play is Rush. The first song I learned was Working Man, and then Xanadu, and 2112 (the entire piece). Great music, and it will challenge you to grow as a guitarist. As Geddy said, "I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will"
