BuzzArd Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 This guy was so important to me growing up… https://pitchfork.com/news/neil-peart-drummer-and-lyricist-of-rush-dead-at-67/amp/ 2
NSXCIGAR Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Wow. Wasn't aware he was battling cancer to that degree. One of, if not the, greatest rock drummers ever. 1
Chibearsv Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 One of the best in one of the best bands. Too sad. I'll make sure to put 2112 on the headphones tonight and air drum between puffs of cigar 1
Puros Y Vino Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Aw man. So young. IMO the best drummer on the planet. Got to see Rush at least 5 times. Didn't know about the brain cancer. RIP. ? 3
Wookie Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Amazing sound those three could produce. RIP Mr. Peart. 1
mbflash80 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 yea this one is painful...my all-time favorite drummer...technique and style...I always remember a dumb joke we used to use: How Many Drummers Does it Take to Screw in a Lightbulb? Answer: FOUR...one to screw it in and three to tell him how Neil Peart would have done it better... Rest in Peace 4
ebhead Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Heart broken right now. I can’t even think of the words to convey.

mtd057 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 One of the greatest drummers of all time! Sad day indeed - RIP Neil 1
Xavier_Dredo Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 “Tom Sawyer” may contain the best 4 bars of drums of all time...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
FatPete Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 So shocked to hear of his passing. One of the best drummers of all time. 1
Arctic Dude Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Given the tragic loss of his daughter in a car accident at 19, and his first wife less than a year later from cancer, you’d think that this Canadian icon and rock superstar should have just died peacefully in his sleep at 93. The fact that he seemed, by all accounts, to be an extremely humble, thoughtful and true gentle man makes this feel all the more sad. ? 2
Erm310mce Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 As a young musician Rush was by far my biggest influence neil’s playing taught me about how melodic a drummer could be while also driving the power behind the trio. he was simply incredible. Rest in peace Professor
Islandboy Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Aww man...sad news. He was one of the greats. May just have to watch their documentary again, it really focuses on Neil’s talents and heartbreaking life challenges. RIP Neil Peart. 1

wineguy Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 RIP Mr. Peart. The greatest drummer ever and from what all could see a great person.
PigFish Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Started seeing Rush when they were an opening act... Sad to see talent lost. RIP NP. The music industry is lesser today without you! -Piggy 1
BJRPorter Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Soundtrack of my teenage years. Thanks for the company. RIP NP! And the meek shall inherit the earth...
Pharmacovigilant Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I was only a casual Rush fan until very recently - when I discovered “Classic Prog Radio” on Pandora. They play a lot of Rush, especially their lesser-known works, and I found myself hitting the Like button on them constantly. Such a creative and distinctive sound. He was an incredibly brilliant drummer and lyricist, and a profound influence on his peers. RIP Neil Peart.

Obviously known as a killer drummer, but many may not know that he wrote a lot of Rush's lyrics as well. RIP ❤ True Rush fans know it. When he started contributing to the song writing process Rush really took off.... Good stuff!!
Mikeltee Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Not really a rush fan but as a percussionist, Neil is one of the greatest drummers of all time. It's so sad to lose a star at such a young age. May he RIP.
Baccy Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 I know this is old news now but, man what a drummer... what a band... what a legend, RIP. I always wanted to see Rush in concert but now I will never get to, just like I will never get to see Tom Petty... 1
