It's about time. These guys are the greatest of all-time. No doubt about it. They've had more influence on me, and most of my favorite music than anyone else I know of.. blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah, and yes Alex is one of the most underrated guitarists of his time. We all know Neil is the master. No one else has won as many awards as this man. No one will ever be better than Neil Peart. And we all know Geddy Lee is universally revered for his technologically-advanced multi-tasking, and superb bass-playing.. Kudos to Alex Lifeson for this bit! These guys... They are.. well,

Simply the greatest band of all-time!

Rush's Neil Peart On Letterman's Drummers Week - 6/9/2011

Yeah, if it were not for Neil Peart, I would not be the person, let alone the drummer, that I am today. I sat and learned a ton of Rush songs, and played along with a lot of rock music. Iron Maiden, Metallica, a lot of others.. But there is no other drummer who is as great an influence to me than this man. I literally drummed to Moving Pictures start to finish hundreds of times. Then I went back to Permanent Waves, 2112, Farewell To Kings, and Hemispheres.

Ask any great drummer today his major influences, and if he doesn't mention Neil Peart, I'll be shocked.

He's the master.

This man-legend is now 56 years old! Still one of the very best ever to pound the skins..

Neil Peart - And the Masters - At Work


There might not ever be anyone better.

3:03-3:09 OMG!

Neil Peart is now 57, and still rockin'.. My one idol growing up. Certainly one of the dozen men I would give anything to meet in my lifetime. His influence will linger for decades... Simply amazing!



Now there is.. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater


Currently the best drummer in the world. No doubt about it. Just go listen to some Dream Theater.

Old, and long 80's hair, but an incredible demonstration:
