RIP Neil Peart

I suspect there may be at least one Rush fan on the site.
I watched a time lapsed video of his drum tech setting up his monster kits once. It made me tried.
RIP Neil.

Peart studied and admired Buddy Rich, I believe.

RUSH was an iconic rock band from across the lakes... RIP Neil.

RUSH drummer Neil Peart has passed @ 67, apparently to brain cancer.

Peart solo...

Sorry Crank. I didn't see your OG post in the endless BS thread.
You would be hard pressed to find a great drummer that wasn't influenced by Buddy Rich.
(Wether or not they would admit it.)

Been a Rush fan for 40+ years. Attended first show in the 70's. RIP Neil.

Big fan here as well, saw them a few times through my years and read several of his books. I even played in a band back in high school and all we covered was Rush. That and Neil was born on a farm just a couple roads over from me.
A tragedy to be taken that young, and just another reminder for all us to enjoy every day on the planet!

Sadly... the kool old rockers are droppin' like flies!

No issue! I should have posted here to begin with.
