Neil Peart

[skaman607]

One of the best drummers of all time, i fyou don't now who he is I suggest checking out some of his stuff, he is the drummer for Rush.

The guy from Helmet, the guy from Dream Theater and the guy from Lotus.

But Neil is on the top.

I've been a Rush fan since the early 80's. I haven't heard any other drummer that even compares...neither in creativity or ability. I'm glad the band is touring again...saw them a few months ago and it seems they just keep getting better and better!

I saw Neil on a Buddy Rich tribute show.

He was the worst drummer there.

Not to say he was bad, but he was outclassed by all the jazzbos.

Dennis Chambers.........best drummer......evar.

If you're talking 80's rock there are

Steve Smith, Stuart Copeland and Terry Bozzio to name a few.

No doubt Peart is one of the best drummers of all time. I have been a fan since 1979 and have seen every tour since 1981.

That being said - I DID see the Buddy Rich tribute tape and I have to agree, Neils' style of playing is not well suited to Jazz.
He loves the music and even did a little jazz bit during his drum solo this tour. He was good, but he appeared uncomfortable behind the kit.

Well, it's kind of hard to judge between rock and jazz, it's two different styles, there is no way to really define a good drummer, like there are no stats you can look at.

Yes Code is right- John Stanier from Helmet is BAD ASS! His fav drummer is Neil Pert by the way. Dont forget these awesome drummers:
Stephen Perkins
Joey Jordinson
Carter Beauford
Danny Carrey

Its too bad Rush has such an annoying singer. It gets on my nerves.
