Drummer from the band Rush. Known for his innovative use of unusual time signatures, steely countenance, extremely intelligent lyrics, and overall awesomeness. He is the greatest living drummer.
Neil Peart freakin rocks, I'm glad that first drummer left Rush so that, along with Mr. Peart, they could become one of the greatest bands that ever existed.

One of the few Drum Gods, alog with artists such as Budy Rich and Steve Gadd. When Neil isn't creating amazing, innovative, musical and truely original drum solos, he can usually be found beating up Travis Barker for fun.
Neil Peart's drum solo 'O Basteria' is the greatest existing example of drumming. Other Peart solos include 'Der Trommler' and 'The Rhythm Method'.
