2. Neil Peart
Born - 09/1952 | Nationality - Canadian| Genre - Rock
As long time drummer for rock group Rush, Neil Peart has spent more than 30 years demonstrating his drumming talent. He is a master at creating meticulously detailed and complex drum parts that work beautifully.
Another great aspect of Neil's playing is his use of many different percussion instruments including tubular bells, temple blocks, triangles, timpani, and drum machines. They've all helped him to become one of the most musically creative drummers in rock, or in any genre for that matter.
Neil is also a master of the drum solo, producing intricate solos with odd time signatures, ostinatos, which make full use of his outstanding limb independance. He concentrates on creating something musical, not self indulgent and that's why his solos on Rush's albums work so well. He's a true student of drumming excellence and always pushes himself to develop and get as close to perfection as possible.
Neil is to the world of rock drumming, what Buddy Rich is to the world of jazz drumming - a true icon. He continues to contribute and inspire players all over the world and is an example of what hard work and constant development can do for your playing. Undoubtably one of the best drummers ever.
