I understand. Felt that way about Chris Cornell.

He was an original. Don’t think I’ve heard anybody play like him. Most drummers pretty much keep the beat, Pert was the star.

The best drummer that I ever saw play live and I saw some good ones Zac Starkey, Charlie Watts, Chris Slade, Alan White, but Neal Peart was absolutely amazing. People often overlook the fact that he was also a great writer, Rush's popularity skyrocketed when he joined and became their main lyricist.

Never was a huge Rush fan but listened because of Neil Peart. Has to be one of the top 5 all time drummers. Enjoyed his Chicken Foot work also.
