If you ask most drummers who their favourite drummer is, 50% go for Buddy Rich but nobody can ever tell you a song buddy Rich drummed in. There is no doubt he had the hardest wrists in the business, his snare technique was mind blowing but listening to his music is dreadful.
Do guitarists sit down on a night and thing I'm going to listen to a bit of Yangi Malmsteen?
I have no doubt Peart is a technically gifted drummer, easily in the top 10 drummers of all time but there is nothing there foe me,
Hal Blaine is probably the 'most prolific good drummer' I have heard and superstition is probably the 'most rhythmically superior'' piece of drumming I have heard.

It's like saying the fastest speaker in the world has the most important things to say because occasionally he might say something important.
In the videos above, other drummers play some recognizable NP solos. They are great: fast, skillful and precise. But they don't sound as good, and seem to play everything at the same robotic speed, without that "swing". Peart has that certain something, a bit like John Bonham and Keith Moon, but their somethings were different.

That blood curdling scream he does half way through is right out of the left field. Pure Warhol.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI got a formal training in pad when I was 10 with Pomeskis I wasn't allowed to get near a snare till I had mastered rudiments on a pad, then I got 2 years on a snare then I eventually got near a kit.. I was pretty exceptional at the kit.
I was tulip hot, I could rhythm out the most complicated beats, I would do stuff then try and add in more hits and more beats.
Then I heard Superstition and realised I had missed the point of the whole thing.
That is a long winded way to say Neil Peart lost it well before me.
