Amazingly, his lyrics also stand alone as pure poetry. Just read them sometime without the music; wow!

I won't get too flowery here. Neil Peart was simply an otherworldly talent. We were lucky to occupy this planet with him.

As a former drummer, what really separates Neil Peart from the crowd is how clean he was. The stuff non-drummers don't appreciate is the fact that parts of his solo are single stroke rolls, matched grip... then he switches effortlessly to traditional grip, double stroke rolls... his drumming is perfect, never sloppy. Simple elegant, yet often times almost impossible to duplicate! He was also a brilliant lyricist and songwriter.... He is the GOAT! There will never be another drummer like him. Thanks for giving him your attention.

extremely clean.. the sound is not dragged by an uneven hitting force in the mix of continuous hits with the sticks. his hemispheres are completely separate for timings. I think in the beginning he had 6 different rhythm timings going when he was reaching back almost 180 degrees to hit some drums. later the snare rolls in either style were so fast and clean

Canada...and the world, lost one of the greats today.

So much truth with just a few words . Neil has inspired a generation of new drummers and as much as he is one of the worlds greatest his life was filled with tragedy . Lost his first daughter to a car accident years ago and two years later his wife dies of cancer , remarries and has a new daughter in California , now Neil is gone . Rush was the bookmark of my life ..

"Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". I like that. That said, Steve Perkins of Jane's Addiction (my favorite drummer) posted a tribute to him. As did Les Claypool.

I think you'd love to know that in the 80's and 90's he travelled all over Africa ON A BYCICLE, just to learn about rhythms!

Not only the most talented drummer of all time he also wrote all the lyrics. A truly amazing musician that will never be forgotten. RIP Neil!

His level of complexity to what you hear within this performance is extraordinary on many levels: technical, agility, cut rhythms, creativity and natural ability to mention some of those things. Spent years playing this bands music (as guitarist), and this has to be one of his greatest live performances .

There really are no words to adequately describe how good he was. I came upon RUSH late in the game but have quickly grown to really love their music. RIP Neil.

No doubt about it that this man had great talent. He'd suffered from shoulder problems possibly tendinitis and probably knew he had cancer. So he retired from the band to live out what days he had left. God bless him and all of us who had the chance to meet or see him live to share his gift to the world.

He added to the composition between tours. His solo kept getting longer. Huge loss.

He was indeed “your favorite drummers favorite drummer”. The professor.. there was only one of him..he was a high-powered mutant, never once considered for mass production

I myself have played drums for 30 years. This is the master of Drumming. When he drums crossing his arms back and forth starting at 1030 and not hitting the rims plus the qauds on the base is the hardest thing to do. I have the ability to drum using various techniques I've learned throughout my life but I have to say that I am not capable of doing it. I have tried about 25 times and I always hit the rims. Amazing Job From The Master

Neil Peart made a drum solo sound like an entire band playing. As a Who fan, I am humbled that Neil's favorite drummer was Keith Moon of The Who. Keith would be smiling while watching Neil Peart putting on this amazing drum solo. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

It was Summer of 1974 a band came from Canada 🇨🇦 to New York and a song was being played on our local Rock radio station 95.5 WPLJ Fm New York’s Best Rock. the song, was called working man. It was all over from then onward. Rush was not just another band, but a force of Nature.. 🎸 with then drummer, John Rusty who also passed away on 2008 then, Neil Peart 🥁 both of you will live on in our hearts💔and in our souls 😢

All Neals solos were amazing but I have seen him take it to another universe. He improved a large part of his solos over the years. I watched Neal in concert over 30 times and his solos have been Phenomenal. NEAL PEART IS THE GREATEST ROCK DRUMMER OF ALL TIME. We are missing him so much.

The Professor on the Drumkit! I grew up near to where Neil did and RUSH was one of my favorite bands from 1975 onward, Neil's lyrics and his unmatched drumming were the main reason. 2020 started out with the loss of Neil and has just gone to hell since :(

He loved jazz. He still studied with a teacher in order to continue to improve his craft. He was not satisfied. He continually wanted to get better. What a great line.....He was your favorite drummer’s favorite drummer. There are performers and there are musicians. Neil Peart was a musician. Rush may not have been a favorite of yours. That’s ok.

"He's your favorite drummer's favorite drummer." Can't say it any better than that.

It’s easy to forget how a great musician, maybe especially a drummer, is also a great athlete. Making real music is a physical art. Besides the brute force and endurance required, rhythm has to be unconsciously perfect, memory flawless, reactions lightning fast, and hand-eye coordination like a baseball hitter’s. Like you said, he’s not young. So he’s dedicated. Great drummer. Drummers are like goalkeepers: they’re born that way. You either want to play drums or goalkeeper and nothing else, or you want nothing to do with it. R.I.P., Mr. Peart

Thank you again Jamel. As for you saying " the least you can do", this is the biggest thing you can do for us RUSH fans by sharing the musical talent of the great Neil Peart

RIP to a true legend.

Hes the best ever drummer. period. hands down. and was a good friend of my bro. RIP Neil.

One of the reasons Neil was so great, is he considered himself a student of the drums all of his career. He felt you never stopped learning. He was in fact my favorite drummers favorite drummer.

Maybe so, and I saw Buddy Rich and his orchestra in person once play the theme for Rocky and Bullwinkle by the by, and everyone knows how great he was, but I'll bet if Buddy Rich could see this he'd have a hell of a lot of nice things to say.

I got away from listening to Neil and Rush for quite a while. Thanks for bringing me back. Neil's percussion compositions became so rich with his study of music outside Rock. It's astounding that one person could embrace that much diversity of music in one lifetime. Rest Neil, you made the world a better place.

It is so much fun to see Neil Peart get into his kit because he is one of the few who once he sits down they shove another drum set put behind him so he can't get out. This was his life and his love too be the best at creating a sound for every song without sounding the same. He real did an amazing job.
