    In terms of influence, he is one of the most important drummers in history.

    On August 10, 1997, Peart's daughter and only child, 19-year-old Selena Taylor, was killed in a single-car accident somewhere between Ottawa and Toronto. His common-law wife of 22 years, Jaqueline Taylor, succumbed to cancer only 10 months later on June 20, 1998. Peart, however, maintains that her death was the result of a "broken heart" and called it "a slow suicide by apathy. She just didn't care."

    [edit] Awards and honours
    Peart has received the following awards in the Modern Drummer magazine reader's poll:

    Hall of Fame: 1983

    (As a member of the Honor Roll in these categories, he is no longer eligible for votes in the above categories.)
    Best Instructional Video: 2006, for Anatomy of A Drum Solo
    Best Recorded Performance:
    1980: Permanent Waves

    My main influence in drumming by far right next to flo mounier and george kollias and inferno from behemoth.

    and for the record.
    tommy lee is not even a good drummer neil peart can handle passages in stride that would make tommy lee fall apart

      Neil Pert is good, don't get me wrong, but I would think that John Bonham, the drummer for Led Zepplin, has more talent then he does. Keith Moon was good, but he was too insane. I've seen Danny Carey before, he would rank up there with the rest of them

      well if you say john bonham then you might as well add ginger baker. but pert and carey were more innovative and technical. we could go on for days with this topic..i'll try to up a clip of danny carey tonight.

    I'd rather watch Dave Grohl play the drums like he used to in Nirvana. IMO there was just more emotion to a guy like Dave's playing as opposed to this pert guy who's had a lot of lessons and plays perfectly. That sort of drumming bores me.

      In all honesty, FUCK nirvana. All they ever did was start the trend of people sucking at their instruments, and they ruined people who were actually good, by making people think they were just showing off. Bullshit.

    jackalope says:

    neil peart is far and away my favorite drummer and one of the top 2 or 3 best ever. this particular solo isn't exactly one of his best, though. it's close to what he did on 'exit stage left', but changed up a little. he's easily the most coordinated drummer in modern times. each limb can play independently of the other - play 4 different rhythms/tempos. one clip i like is on youtube. search for "neil peart subdivisions" and look for 'anatomy of a drum solo'. it's only a couple of years old and the cameras are fixed on him throughout the song. (however, even he lists buddy rich as the greatest ever and i'll always call peart the best.)

      Buddy Rich is one of the greatest drummers to ever have graced this planet. Every accomplished drummer I have ever met has cited Buddy Rich as an influence. His ability is enough on it's own, but when you learn he never learned to read music or took a formal lesson, I don't know how you can avoid having your mind blown.

    Why didn't anyone mention Mike Mangini on here? He's a fairly beastly drummer. The guy layers so many time signatures on top of eachother at once it's ridiculous...And he hit a snare 1203 times in a minute, which is pretty cool, and the record. (although I realize that doesn't make him a good drummer).
