Respectfully disagree. This drummer is legend. https://youtu.be/6DVbt5W-DNc
PhloppyPhish1998
Rush is my all time favorite band but Imma just leave this here :)

StaticXster70
So subjective, but he is undoubtedly an absolute legend among drummers.
OddlyPacific
I wonder how Lou Mars would have done if he had lived when prog was relevant.
ThePirateCatsRock
And its a Yes from me.

Rip Neil.
frecklesaremyfetish
i can get behind this vote. it aint easy, being cheesy.
m4ttschneider
Lol
HoldMeCloseNowTonyDanza
He didn't start drumming using traditional grip. Well after Rush was famous, he got bored and wanted to challenge himself. What a legend...
McDerpNderp
I miss you.
FabulouslyTiti
Rightfully so. RIP, you wonderfully talented man! ♥
daliamonra
Well if I had a drumset like that I could... make an appalling din that would make people want to shoot me.
Mudpaws

THE DRUMS OF LIFE!
TCGView
Holy shit, that is a huge kit.
awildcharmander
Psh I could do that. After about 40 years of practice
artofrandall7
This is the way
coalminersknuckle
incrustwetrust
I was hoping for this
CheesersGhost
It ain't easy ,bein cheesy
mycleverusernameisthis
Rush fans knew this.
GodOfDunDer
He was amazing but this kind of stuff is so subjective.
tarataqa
Agreed. So many GOATs in music.
udmurt
Yes, plus I'm not hearing anything spectacular in this clip, technique-wise.
PhloppyPhish1998
Yeah, the entire solo is really good but this is only a small portion :/
Muskie4242
Keith Moon is my favorite, but Niel just had a level of calculated perfection no one else can match.
PhloppyPhish1998
Yeah, I’ve never heard any drummer that sounds like him. He’ll always have his own unique sound which I think is awesome.
GodOfDunDer
Exactly. What weighs more on the scale? Passion? Technique? Originality? What % of each? SUBJECTIVE!!
railgap
Opinions suck, but... um... it's Neil Fucking Peart, so I'm sure as hell not gonna argue.
The2020ElectionWasStolen
you sure you didn't just rush that opinion?
HelloSchitty
So absolute...yet subjective.....
BeardedMountainMann
It was a vote. Not absolute
WellWhatTheHeck
THE BEST OF ALL TIME
Donaldbain
I like his hat.
YourMotherApproves
His hi hats are nice too ;)
FireSolvesProblems
rjkardo
Yep, Pert stands alone! Somewhere behind Bonham.
Iseeyourpointandraiseyou
Agreed. I wonder what would've happened if they'd put Bonham behind a kit like Peart's. I can only imagine brain aneurisms.
OtherErinFromTheOffice
Peart*
YourMotherApproves
People also pronounce his name wrong all the time. His last name isn't pronounced like a shampoo, guys.
FireSolvesProblems
It's stolen and I was to lazy to look for a correct version.
wedontneednostinkingusername
And sporting traditional grip after converting from years of matched grip.
LosPer
He went back to matched grip after his wife died and he took a hiatus, I believe...
opus1
Wife and daughter. So sad.
LosPer
Indeed. That man took a lot of hits
SgtOscar
Unpopular opinion (as a drummer too): not a fan of drum solos. Think they flatten the atmosphere of a gig.
YourMotherApproves
Also a drummer, I'm with you on that. I never liked drum solos unless it's short and the other musicians are involved
Freightshaker
It's the Jeff Porcaro Theory: The Groove 'is' the solo.
Beaglese7en
And found the time to write the lyrics as well. Long live the holy triumvirate!
ThatWasBoring
Pretty sure he wrote a lot of the guitar and bass parts too if I am honest
timotomat0
I feel like someone should tell him...
Beaglese7en
Yeah I know. He lives on in my mind.
Beaglese7en
Just after I hit sent, I realised that I could have a better choice of words. Them again, I do not have his talents as a wordsmith.
lurkyouallnightlong
No, it’s better to keep him happy
SephirothVII
I can't argue, but I prefer Danny Carey.
jonmedium
Both are completely amazing. Love me some Carey.
shredder134
Very different, but probably not a coincidence that my favorite bands have tool and rush among them
railgap
It's okay to like more than one thing.
zenmaster11
Keith Moon
iamjman
Im currently listening to Invincible from Tool right now. What a coincidence.
ireplysometimes
Danny Carey is the reason I own my drumset
zephyruk
Likewise!
bedframe
Justin Chancellor is the reason I own my bass, you're definitely not alone in that.
RideTheStimutacs
TJ Childers for me. Dude is an absolute beast.

WilsonFisk
Green jello sucks!
thevortexmaster
Danny Carrey and Danny Walker
lon3wolf86
my pick too
AltEff4
Whole Fear Inoculum may not be the best overall Tool album, I think it's definitely Danny's best. Must be those magical polygons
AltEff4
*While
RideTheStimutacs
I've heard that album described as "Danny Carey featuring Tool".
kirmokum
i've been a tool fan for over 25 years. could not get into fear inoculum. it sounds like all their previous ideas were put into a blender.
kirmokum
imo, they need a session with john peel (RIP) or rick rubin.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
What are your thoughts on Brann Dailor?
OddlyPacific
What about Frank Marino or Robin Trower?
thevortexmaster
Dave Weckl, John Blackwell or Danny Walker
OddlyPacific
Steve Upton, Andy Powell
PocketSoDeep
Bozzio
TrainingTofu
My man! I attended drum clinics when I was in high school; Terry Bozzio and Jojo Mayer are definitely God tier.
Obamer
Baard Kolstad
Kuuppajumi
This. There is hope for prog drumming.
SpiceSlag
Aw man he rules, saw them live twice and they were incredible. Also check out the drum vid for sky is red.
Trowsh
Danny is a very very close 2
volunteervancouver
Mike Portnoy somewhere around there https://youtu.be/aSU0xBGfkfg?t=299
Kornisti
Bill Bruford gets my vote!
weldr67
Agreed. https://youtu.be/TyFVf7-Gdbo
HeadJamistan
I prefer Dana Carvey. Yes, that was really him playing.
WilsonFisk
He did a drop in with U2 once
XANDERcylinderPANTS
I like to play
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
I want to see what happens when somebody brings up the cursed name......Lars Ulrich.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Lamest drummer of all time.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Oh, I never said he was great, I just wanted to see if people would downvote me just because I said his name...and they did. Lol.
justinchancellorsstandin
Get out.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
No!
Valerec
Don't get me wrong, I love him, but if the premise of this vote is to elect the best PROG musician, I don't see how he's over peopl (1/2)
Valerec
Peter Gabriel, John Amderson, Waters to name only the known ones of that era. Rush is a great band, but if you ask me to name my top 10(2/3)
Valerec
prog bands, I'm not sure the would make the list. That being said, Neil Peart being celebrated as a great musician is undeniable (3/3).
Shamwowser
Waters as in Rodger Waters?
