Rush is my favorite band, and Neil’s drumming and lyrics always looms large in my mind. Neil’s passing was a gut punch and was a profound loss for me and all fans of Rush. RIP Neil Peart.

I'm in my sixties now, and I'm just now starting to realize what an awesome gift it was to witness Rush evolving in real time.

Neil wasn’t a drummer. He was a world class percussionist, master lyricist and best selling author. RIP Professor.

An AMAZING drummer and lyricist, who never ceased to inspire and motivate anybody that heard Rush's music! RIP PROFESSOR

You cant deny that Neil Peart is the main reason rock drumming took a huge leap in the 70/80s

Great piece on a legendary drummer. Thank you. The "Spirit of Radio" lives on

[paulseano]

Neil has marked an epoch in drumming history. Never tire of listening to him in interviews explain his approach to drumming. Neil was a very genuine soul. He will be missed by those of us that had seen him live and for those that will come to know of his legend into the future, they will be inspired and changed. Thanks to Neil and Rush and thank you for sharing! Cheers

I can't begin to describe how proud we feel, as people of the musical community are here in Canada of the talents of the late Neil Peart.

His musicianship and literary skills held no boundaries.

fantastic short video depicting very well who this humble genius was. Fought through adversity and anguish, ever being the gentleman. #1 for me for sure.

Things changed for Neil in 1978 when he added the infamous subscribe button to his kit.

[stevenwilson]

I love the enthusiasm in Neil's voice and drumming. We have so much in common, surely we could have been friends.. Thank you RUSH for all the shapes and colors.

[Raellives]

Such a well produced piece on a great human being. So captivating, I wasn’t tempted to read the comments until the video was over.
Neil Peart makes You proud to be human.

[thumostheos]

A tearful tribute to a man I never met but who forever changed the course of my life with his beautiful drumming and touching relevant lyrics. I miss him every day.

[dr.thrashfinger]

I've never understood why Caress Of Steel was so maligned by critics and fans alike. It is one of my favorite Rush albums. It was an integral part of their growth and in my opinion, did most of the heavy lifting from 'what they were' to 'who they are now'. Criminally underrated, and a huge void in the true Rush fan's appreciation of the totality of Rush. Tolkien would've loved it!

[poindextertunes]

RUSH is my favorite band. Seen them 5 times. They are one of those rare bands that sound better live than they do on their recordings. And for a 3 piece ensemble, they have a HUGE sound 🔥

[Snowdog]

Neil comes from my home town so I am biased but in my opinion he's the best. Very few other drummers possess his chops, limb independence, and technical skill but no others in my opinion have those qualities plus the ability to make the kit sound so very good. He is a master drum part composer as well. Did I mention that he was a great human being too?

[pulsedrumschoolbassindarca]

Very interesting! thank you for your videos.

The spirit of Peart lives on in Pau Villarreal.
The drummer, composer, lyricist, and occasional SINGER of The Warning.
She won a pair of drumming awards in 2023, and is mesmerizing to watch perform.
