Neil Peart (Rush)
“all these percentages are wrong or all the voters are to young. nobody can change up like neil can. I quess bass is here to stay for awhile
”
“Neil Peart is certainly one of the best rock drummers ever. Smith or Beauford don't even come close”
“Neil Peart of RUSH is hands down the best drummer of all time. This really isn't an opinion.”
“I agree Neil is the best one alive. It's unreal that Chad Smith is being considered the best even when he couldn't cut it for the top 100, I also agree most of the ones who post here must be under 20 or so...”
“Hands down Neil Peart has this. why people don't recognize this is beyond me.”
“yyz---/o baterista
i have to say it again..ok
THE BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!”
“Neil Peart is the best rock drummer ever. Period.”
“I totally agree. Neal is the best drummer EVER!!!...no question about it. He belongs here at #1.”
“I JUST DONT SEE WHY HES NOT NUMBER 1”
“Peart is like the Mozart of Drums, People wont realize how far ahead he is until they evolve to his level.”
“best drummer on earth..listen to his polyrhytmics and you'll be amazed!!”
“Neil Peart is in an entire league of his own... he basically stands alone at a level no other drummer can even come close to.”
“Peart is number one. Bonham was not even in his class.”
“he is def no 1 listen to o briesta and the rymthic structure and all he has been trough he deserves the no 1 spot”
“NEIL SHOULD BE #1 HE IS THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO DRUMMING. HE IS THE BEST WITH THE BIG DRUM SETS HE HAS THE 2 BIGGEST THE R30 DRUM SET TOMMY LEE AND NEIL PEART ARE MY HEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“The only drummer I know who has a PHD in music. He has truely been the most inventive drummer in his time. As far as speed, I dont believe he can be touched. Although with the exception of Carl Palmer who is incredibly fast, Neil Pert has a complex and sophisticated style that would frustrate most drummers of today.”
“Without a doubt, the best! I have seen hin 18, yes 18 times in concert. Nobody can top him...”
“Neil Peart idolized Buddy Rich in his early years. To this day Peart says Rich is best of all time. I have seen both and agree they are the two best. But Peart is by far better than anything that has even looked at a drum. He is in his own universe.”
“Neil Peart need I say more who else has carried the weight he has for 30 yrs. No one can do it like him and he makes it look so easy. He is the best hands down everyone else just looks up to him in awe”
“i dont know why hes not number 1 that is stupid hes the best ever
”
“HES THE BEST BAR NONE and who is that person in number 1 i cant ever pronounce his name
”
“I realize that rush, although my favorite rock band, is not the biggest band out there, but has anyone had the chance to listen to the live version of yyz with the 2 minute drum solo in the middle that may show some of you that Niel Peart really is the best drummer out there.”
“No one can even come close.”
“He can drum in 3/4 time with his feet and 7/8 time with his hands... By any reasonable standard, this technique should be impossible. Technique makes the drummer, not the ability to hit the drums hard really fast, and that is why Neil is the best drummer of all time.”
“Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time and that is final and the only reason you idiots can't see that is because you've most likely never listened to alot of rush #1 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I agree. Neil is who made me want to play drums. Awe-inspiring, complex and tight. The only drummer I've ever heard who can make MUSIC on a drumset. Moon and Bonham were pioneers, but NOBODY beats Peart!”
“If you didn't vote Peart at #1...man, you've got some living to do.”
“the best”
“o baterista is the BEST
and yyz and cygnus x-1 and everything else he does”
“Peart gets better with time. 30 plus years of great drumming..”
“he is amazing
”
“Neil Pert hands down is the greatest drummer ever to the play the drums. No one can play like him.”
“I saw my favorite band (Rush) in Chicago for the first time in concert. I have seen their DVDs and tapes. I have never seen a human being play the drums like my idol, Neil Peart. For anyone to imply that he is getting better is accurate, but that means that he pulling away from the pack that he has led for perhaps all of his 30+ years with Rush. He is the standard by which all drummers in all walks of music should be compared for time eternal.”
“Neil Peart is the standard by which all drummers in all walks of music should be compared throughout the world.”
“he should be number one.”
“Neil Peart is a God.”
“neil peart is the best drummer in the world.”
“Neil Peart is by far the greatest drummer of all time!!! I don't think that most of today's drummer's have given Rush a fair listen. Because if they would have, they would see that Neil's drumming is far more complex then any other drummer out there.”
“You have to see him play to believe it. The speed and stamina are incredible, even at age 56.”
“Neil is in a league all his own. If you ask anybody else on the list they would pick him also.”
“Neil Peart - THE DRUM GOD”
“No matter what anyone says or does Neil Peart will always be the number one drummer of all time.”
“Neil Peart is the greatest not just drummer, but all around percussionist of all time, he plays anything be it electronic acoustic, foreign to any mainstream and he nails it like he's laser guided. Truly an outstanding percussionist in an all around incredible band. Neil Peart will live on centuries after his passing through his ingenious lyrics and his masterful drum beats.”
“Neil Peart is freaking awesome.”
“20 years of air drums, and I still can't get it right!”
“No words, just bow to Neil.”
“as quoted from family guy, "neil peart is the best drummer ever! " as quoted by school of rock "for you, rush's 2112, and listen to neil peart, one of the greatest drummers ever" I have every rush album, my fave drummer: neil peart. my fave bassist: geddy lee. my #3 fave guitarist: alex”
“The best ever”
“Nothing needs to be said just listen to what is done!”
“The best I ever heard!”
“He's the best ever.
EVER”
“This poll is accurate and fun. Neil is the master of rhythm, percussion, beat, and, yes, timbre. When they make "The Neil Peart Story" movie, Tom Hanks gets the lead.”
“Neil Peart is just... just... not even words can describe how incredible he is”
“NEIL IS THE BEST!”
“ok... what happened here? neil peart #2? I doubt any asian is better than him”
“The Greatest Ever! He Is God On The Drums!”
“he's great. mike portnoy is on par with him.”
“watch the drum solo from Rio and you'll understand why I think this guy is better than hayashi”
“Peart is sick #1 for sure. It's insulting that Keith Moon and Ginger baker aren't even on this list.”
