He's like a frontman behind the drumkit, and he beats the shit outta his drums. That said, Neil Peart is fundamentally a way better drummer. He's also a master of playing odd time signatures. Something you never see outta Tommy. Y'all gotta react to some old school 70s Rush to see what Neil's really capable of. Also, there are a ton of wicked drummers out there to react to. To me, Buddy Rich is THE G.O.A.T.!! Also, check out Dennis Chambers, Terry Bozzio, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, and so many others. Cheers, from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

Neil Peart was nicknamed 'The Professor' for his intelligence, lyrics and his immense drum skills... his drum solos were very intricate & technical in execution, playing rock, jazz, blues, African rhythms, electronic pads and echoes, etc. Tommy Lee is a showman on drums and beats... his drumming skills were great, but he was not into the technical or methodical aspects of drumming like Neil was... Lee's drum solo was a spectacle for entertainment, but he was also skilled in making electronic beats. Peter Criss, the original drummer of Kiss was the same way... a fan of jazz and swing music, he didn't have the technical ability or the power of Neil Peart or John Bonham of Led Zeppelin... Criss was also about making an entertaining spectacle w/ his drum solos. (Late) Kiss drummer Eric Carr was much better... his drumming skills were exceptional. Carr could entertain and hit his drums like no other. Then, there was (the late) Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, who would play in a mask and coveralls and also do his drum solos on a riser that would turn and lift him (and his drumkit) sideways.

Neil is the complete and ultimate percussionist.

Ok at the risk of being slammed, when you strap a mediocre drummer into a carnival ride, it causes a stir. Best drummer? Best drum solo? I prefer pure talent as opposed to gimmicks. Talent doesn’t need to spin. If you want pure drums, I suggest you check out John Bonham solo (Led Zeppelin) from 1977. Just a genius and a drum set. It will change your life. In 1980, he was found dead, after binging 40 shots of vodka with a 24 hour period. He was 32 years old. After the band released this statement. "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend, and the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were." The statement was signed simply "Led Zeppelin". For the top hard/metal rock band of the 70s to just walk away because they could not continue without him, is testament to his talent. His son Jason Bonham, has performed with tributes to the band, wearing his dad’s signature bowler hat. I hope you check it out. ✌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻

It was Neil's bumping into Steve and commenting on how much he had improved in his playing that lead to Steve mentioning working with Freddy Gruber and Neil going and studying with him (IIRC).
Neil was voted best drummer in the world ten times in a row, which is an amazing accomplishment, and what most people don't know is he has written a few books as well. They don't call him the professor for nothing! Tommy is a showman and no doubt good.

Neil Peart is about talent … Lee is about distracting his ‘basicness’ with flashing lights Go watch Carey’s famous drum video from Tool … thats talent too
Long time drummer here. Tommy made me want to play drums as a kid in the 80s. He was more of the rockstar/entertainer. But from a pure drumming standpoint - it's Neil, all the way... The guy in the front right knows what's up.
Tommy Lee would say Neil was the Goat, Neil had a greater influence and inspired Alot of good drummers, but they called him the Professor for his talent and skills not only drumming but a great lyricist as well. Neil was a Percussionist and learn to play any genre.or style of music. Making Neil a legend in the music world..

If you close your 👀 then Tommy Lee loses.
It makes me happy that you are trying to get closer to the Lord. God bless you.
Neil Pert for sure is the greatest...I saw Rush live in the 80's and memorizing. Saw Moltley Crew open for Ozzy in the 80's too...
Tommy Lee is crazy and that's how you become legendary. Even if he's not best all time which is something that can't truly be said, it's all opinion, he's still an amazing artist that inspired many and that's what's important.
What people forget is that Tommy was himself a drum prodigy. His persona, fame and pron has taken away from his musical legacy. But at 17 he was part of one of the biggest and most famous bands ever. And well known in a time when drummers didn't get love
They didn't call Neil The Professor for nothing. High class, well educated, super talented individual. Never bragging, always demonstrating. Just the GOAT. Tommy's technically good, Neil's got the flow...
Time to do John "Bonzo" Bonham from Led Zeppelin. His solo from "Moby Dick" from the movie The Song Remains The Same is classic. Niel Peart and Bonzo are constantly compared as the best drummers in rock. Two totally different styles of drumming but both are insane. RockOn guys!

From a pure talent and skill set not even close. Neil was light years ahead. From a showmanship and fun, Tommy Lee was fun and his gimmicks were close to a fun to watch as Neil awesomeness.
Peart and Lee are probably 2 of the best. Watch the Godsmack drum battle it will definitely entertain you.
Tool Pneuma Drum Cam definitely the most insane drum preformance I've ever seen
There's no way Tommy Lee is in the same league as Neil Pert. Neil had raw talent and skill, Tommy Lee had a gimmick. And if you want to talk top tier drummers, you have to go all the way back to two of the GOATs, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.
I'll just leave this quote for you "Neil Peart is your favorite drummers favorite drummer"
Tommy Lee drums with some of the best guys out there. You guys have to check out Mike Portnoy or Mike Mangini both played in a band called Dream Theater. Portnoy played with them first then later was replaced with Mangini. They both have some of the best drum solos out there. If you like Neil Peart from Rush, you'll definitely dig these guys. Or do a reaction video to judge which one is better!? That would be awesome! Keep doing what y'all do, bros! I really enjoy y'all's reactions!✌️✊🏽
It's fair to say Neil is technically skilled a better drummer - with so many more surfaces and time signatures. Tommy is def a better showman. Growing up - Tommy was one of my fav drummers, and one of the three drummers who inspired me to be a drummer as well. (the other two were Lars of Metallica, and Robert Sweet of Stryper).
My metalhead friend showed me this clip and we both thought it was the coolest thing ever
Now that’s what you call a drum roll please 😂😂loved the 80’s
Drummer here. Since 1986. Tommy Lee inspired me to start playing. Tommy Lee rocks 100%!! No question. He just oozes stage presence and charisma. He's like a frontman behind the drumkit, and he beats the shit outta his drums. That said, Neil Peart is fundamentally a way better drummer. He's also a master of playing odd time signatures. Something you never see outta Tommy. Y'all gotta react to some old school 70s Rush to see what Neil's really capable of. Also, there are a ton of wicked drummers out there to react to. To me, Buddy Rich is THE G.O.A.T.!! Also, check out Dennis Chambers, Terry Bozzio, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, and so many others. Cheers, from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Tommy got a reality check when he went back to school and tried the drum line. You need to check it out.

Tommy was always my drum hero, but there is no denying Neil Peart is the GOAT.
You have to do God Smack Dueling drum solo. Mind blowing
Neil Peart was nicknamed 'The Professor' for his intelligence, lyrics and his immense drum skills... his drum solos were very intricate & technical in execution, playing rock, jazz, blues, African rhythms, electronic pads and echoes, etc. Tommy Lee is a showman on drums and beats... his drumming skills were great, but he was not into the technical or methodical aspects of drumming like Neil was... Lee's drum solo was a spectacle for entertainment, but he was also skilled in making electronic beats. Peter Criss, the original drummer of Kiss was the same way... a fan of jazz and swing music, he didn't have the technical ability or the power of Neil Peart or John Bonham of Led Zeppelin... Criss was also about making an entertaining spectacle w/ his drum solos. (Late) Kiss drummer Eric Carr was much better... his drumming skills were exceptional. Carr could entertain and hit his drums like no other. Then, there was (the late) Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, who would play in a mask and coveralls and also do his drum solos on a riser that would turn and lift him (and his drumkit) sideways.

I got to see tommy lee when the scorpions came into town, they needed a drummer for their tour, and tommy was with them. He did his solo with the flipping drum kit too was awesome
I like Tommy but he's not on the same level as Neil. RUSH was a musician's band and musicians can hear the difference. Look at all the different things Neil was doing during his solo compared to Tommy. Tommy is straight forward drumming holding a beat while Neil incorporates all kinds of different sounds and instruments (bells, chimes, xylophone, etc.) into his drumming. Neil is the complete and ultimate percussionist.
Peart was the best; Bonham, Moon, Portnoy, Copland, Paul (Vinnie Paul) all beyond phenomenal too! But Peart IS the GOAT! :)
I’ve seen him live.. he plays drums upside down as well.. it’s really phenomenal
Ok at the risk of being slammed, when you strap a mediocre drummer into a carnival ride, it causes a stir. Best drummer? Best drum solo? I prefer pure talent as opposed to gimmicks. Talent doesn’t need to spin. If you want pure drums, I suggest you check out John Bonham solo (Led Zeppelin) from 1977. Just a genius and a drum set. It will change your life. In 1980, he was found dead, after binging 40 shots of vodka with a 24 hour period. He was 32 years old. After the band released this statement. "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend, and the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were." The statement was signed simply "Led Zeppelin". For the top hard/metal rock band of the 70s to just walk away because they could not continue without him, is testament to his talent. His son Jason Bonham, has performed with tributes to the band, wearing his dad’s signature bowler hat. I hope you check it out. ✌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻

For drummers, John Bonham - Moby Dick, the 15 minute live version. Also check out The Who - My Generation live on the Smother's Brothers. I would also recommend checking out Michael Jackson's drummer, Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett, playing Beat it on a Drumeo video. His cymbal choke in that is absurd.

I saw a motley crew on this tour, and Tommy Lee’s solo was nothing short of amazing! His solos at every show I’ve ever gone to were awesome! Much respect for Neil Peart. Yes, he is a goat, but choosing between Tommy and Neil is all just a matter of taste for their drumming style…
Tommy has a few different drum set ups that move about. I've seen two of them live. So cool!! 🔥
I haven’t drummed for years now but I could still do most of what Tommy Lee was doing with a months practice. It would take me years to learn the independence Peart showed on his solo esp the bass two hi hat beat underneath while playing all sorts of polyrhythms over the top it Tommy Lee is a superb showman though and obviously perfect for Motley Crüe, no hate intended but Peart runs rings around him and almost everyone else
I've seen Tommy Lee fly across from one side of an arena to another back in the day in Boston. Great show!
My first concert was Motley Crue (Shout at the Devil tour) April 30 1984 in Colorado Springs. I was 14 we waited all day in line for general admission. We ended up right on the barricade. It was amazing!
I seen them on this tour, and many more actually, but that's why Tommy's in my top 5 drummers of all time, cause not a lot of drummers can do that shit!

Tommy brought the funk and flash but Neil easily holds the throne . Watch some older Neil solo's if your looking for greatness . The man doesn't need a spinning drum kit to make your jaw drop . The man only needs drum sticks .
