When ever anyone does a poll on the greatest drummer, it was always who finished second to Neil Peart. Not a Rush fan but he couldn't half play. RIP

Was a superb drummer who was not only technically excellent but his excellence suited the songs without being overblown.

I wore my 'Hemispheres' tour badge with pride on my school blazer, the rock equivalent of the henna beard at the time.

Magnificent drummer in a magnificent band. First saw them on the Farewell to Kings to tour in Manchester 1978 and then many times since. RIP Neil, so much more than ‘just’ a drummer

Just heard this. Such an awful shame. The guy had more bad luck than most with family stuff.

Never missed out on the promise of adventure with his bike trips latterly and back with his daughter now....

RIP legend.

Couldn't call myself a big Rush fan. However I admired Neil Peart as a great drummer and the driving force in band. May he RIP.
