Another big loss to music.
Damn. What a loss
Peart wrote most of the lyrics, on top of mastering his monster drum set which defined most of their music.
Listen to a recording of The Trees live sometime and get a feel for this man's talent if you are unfamiliar with the band.
Was really sad to read this...first LP I ever bought was 2112...
Arguably the best drummer ever...
A few of my favs. This is just a taste...there are so many more that just rock! Back in the day I sent my Vu meters into the far end of their ranges many, many times enjoying Rush

In 1976 I bought the Destroyer album and started playing the drums because of Peter Criss. In 1981 I bought the Moving Pictures album and kept playing the drums because of Neil Peart. Talk to any drummer who played professionally in the 80's and 90's and every single one of them will tell you that Neil is the drummer they most wanted to be (and every single one of us failed).
RIP. There will never be another like him.
Took my son to see them (Neil really) in 2013 on their Clockwork Angels tour in Kansas City. Glad I did, for SO many reasons.
RIP Neil.
