Neil Peart Is The Best Living Drummer

[Syrinx]

[Rocinante]

1. Yep

No doubt about it.

[Syrinx]

3. I lean toward your view.

2. i'm voting no,but only because

i'd rather puncture my eardrums with knitting needles than listen to Rush :puke:

4. Robert Wyatt

Though he is grievously reduced.

:(

5. I always wondered if the syrinx handle had

anything to do with 2112. IMO That intro to Overture/Temples is some of the best drumwork on a rock record ever!!

6. Followed closely by Mike Portnoy and Nick D'Virgilio!

Word.

7. You forget Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead

He is not only a drummer but he is active in preserving indigenous music from around the world.

8. No.

Billy Cobham and Jack Dejohnette are just two that come to mind as better drummers than Peart. but Peart is damned good, there's no doubt about it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. "Best" is an irrelevant ranking

There is "best" drummer. Though in the realm of the very cream of the crop of drummers, Peart's in that group absolutely! Incredible drummer.

10. "Rush is touring!" "What, is Neil out of money again?"

Banter between me and a neighbour years ago....
