Neil Ellwood Peart (Hamilton, September 12, 1952–Santa Mónica, January 7, 2020) he was a Canadian musician, best known for being the drummer and lyricist in the also Canadian progressive rock band Rush. Peart becomes part of the Rush lineup in July 1974, after auditioning for bassist and singer Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson, as they urgently needed a drummer to replace John Rutsey, who left Rush when only two were missing weeks to begin the promotional tour of the debut album in the United States.
In its beginnings, Peart's interpretive style was deeply rooted in hard rock, obtaining most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, who marked the vanguard in the British hard rock scene of the late 1960s Over the years, however, it has also absorbed the influence of jazz and big band musicians, such as Gene Krupa and later, Buddy Rich - especially from his last stage. In musical terms, Peart has received countless awards for most of the performances he has recorded and is widely respected for both his technical ability and the energy with which he performs his instrument. In terms of influence, he is one of the most important drummers in history, the forced reference of thousands of artists worldwide and has been consistently recognized by experts as one of the greatest rock drummers of all time.
In addition to the musical work done with Rush, Neil Peart has also made several recordings together or in collaboration with other artists and has published two instructional videos where he teaches some of the techniques he usually uses to play drums. In addition to being a musician, Peart is an accomplished writer, which has earned the official position of lyric composer in Rush, where his work deals with topics as diverse as science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, humanism and freedom of conscience. In addition to his work as a composer, he has written and published four books.
Together with his bandmates, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, he was awarded the Order of Canada in the degree of Officer, on May 9, 1996, being the first rock band to receive such recognition, as a group.
Neil died on January 7, 2020, a victim of brain cancer at age 67 in Santa Monica, California.
