Hello,
I have Music by both and it just depends on my mood what I'll listen too. I grew up listening too rock n roll and even playing the drums for vigorous bands. Today I have a very broad music interests.
Buddy Rich: 9/30/1917 - 4/05/1987 Started playing the drums at the every young age of 18 months and by the age of 5 became a soloist. Buddy's career spanned 7 decades and was at the top of the Jazz list. Buddy was also noted as the "Best Drummer" year after year. Buddy hit the Jazz aria around 1939 when it was dying off and gave it new life with his speed.
I got a rare chance to see Buddy Rich and his band play at the Prom Center back in 1973, I was about 13 at the time.
Neil Peart: DOB 09/12/1952. Though Neil did not become a member of the group Rush, untill after their first release, I was still a fan from day 1. I remember seeing Rush when they toured the States for the first time, it was awesome, Working Man (live) sounded just the way it did on the LP. Neil is truly a Percussionist thee Professor on the Drum Kit. I am a very big Rush fan, I have seen them in Concert 9x, have all of Rush's DVDs & Neil's DVD's and all but 2 or 3 CD's in my collection, and lets not forget those Concert stubs.
You can choose for your self who is the best, you and others may also read bios on both of these World Class Drummer's at www.drummerworld.com Enjoy the web-site, it is full of bios/history on all of your favorite drummers.

I have been a big Rush fan for decades. I strongly prefer Ruch music to Jazz. However, if you take the time to watch Buddy Rich's technical abilities, I really think that there is no comparison. My son's and I watch some You Tube videos and can't understand how fast he can move his hands. It does not look real - it looks like the film is speeded up by a lot!!

I consider both genius. I saw Buddy Rich play in 1968...Increduble..Have seen Peart 3 times..If you notice Pearts set-up on stage. Its multitudes of drums, cymbals, effects, etc.Rich had no effects. A little miking and mixing, the rest was strait up..
Rich has my vote

The people who know Buddy Rich probably don't know who Neil Peart is, and vice versa. Too bad they weren't generationally closer. It would have been great to watch them in dueling drum solos!

I've been playing drums professionally since I was 17 yo and I'm 54 now. I've taught privately for 30 years. If anyone asks me who I think the greatest drummer is (I get sick of the question) I just smile and say they're ALL great. They may think I'm being sarcastic but I'm serious. I might follow that first sentence with "it's who inspires you". That being said a lot of the general public have not even heard of the greatest of the greats but everybody's heard Ringo right? So since Ringo inspired the most people maybe he's the greatest.

i'm no expert, yet i've got continuously enjoyed his drumming. fantastically in "She stated She stated" and "an afternoon in the existence." "Ringo's have been given the main suitable decrease back beat i've got ever heard and he can play super 24-hours an afternoon." -- George Harrison "Ringo is physically powerful down the middle, by no ability overplays." -- Paul McCartney "better than the different drummer, Ringo Starr replaced my existence. The impact and memory of that band on Ed Sullivan teach in 1964 will by no ability bypass away me. i will nevertheless see Ringo in the decrease back shifting that beat along with his entire physique, his splendid hand swinging off his sock cymbal on an analogous time as his left hand pounds the snare. He became superb, yet i think of what have been given to me the main became his smile. I knew he became having the time of his existence." -- Max Weinberg "i think of he's massively underrated. The drum fills on 'an afternoon in the existence' are very complicated issues. you could take a brilliant drummer as we talk and say, 'i prefer it like that.' they might not understand what to do." -- Phil Collins "Ringo has an staggering sense for a music and he continuously helped us hit the splendid pace the 1st time. He became rock good. This made the recording of all the Beatle songs lots extra handy." -- George Martin
