Neil Peart. If you know who he is, is he not the worlds best?

Question

Absolute excellent human being, not to mention the best percussionist of all time.

Answer 1

sorry, don't care.

Answer 2

I don't know him personally, and I suspect neither do you, so I won't go into that. I highly doubt he is on par with someone like, say, Mother Teresa, so go easy with such assessments. The "best" percussionist (or any artist) is always a lie, since
a) there are no criteria by which to evaluate who ranks where, and
b) each musician is the best at what ss/he does.
I could argue that Bill Bruford is "better," but that would be just a very, very stupid way of saying "I like his playing better." So, no, neither Neal nor anyone else is the "best," but I like his drumming, too.

I just can't stand that squeaky squealing voice, like a constipated girl.

Answer 3

i have a friend who's father is obsessed with rush and neil peart, and no matter what time we would be at his house if he was awake he would be watching a rush live dvd and would always stop us to watch the same drum solo over and over again.

i would have to say he's quite amazing and i never got tired of watching.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say he's THE best, but back in the day he was one of the best drummers in the business.

Oh and George G-that's Alex Lifeson not Leif Erickson.

Answer 5

Ya. I thought he was a drummer, maybe Rush or some 70's
group. I forget. But I remember a little...cool

Answer 6

Without a doubt the best.

Answer 7

sticks down!!! (Play on hands down) And Geddy Lee on the keys and Leif Erickson on the strings.

Answer 8

I will stand by that... that is true and stewert copeland always a favorite
