    Very sad news. As a drummer, I've always considered him among the best ever. He really drove Rush in so many ways. May he rest in peace. I'll be watching this video for about the 100th time later this evening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSToKcbWz1k

    I recently watched a Youtube video Neil Peart a work in progress. Fascinating to say the least. Before Test For Echo Neil took time off to completely reinvent his playing. Even more poignant today.

    Highly recommend you watch. It takes a special kind of person who has been super successful to stop and realize he can still learn and reinvent himself just because he wanted to.

    Yep I have seen that as well Brock. He went and took lessons from someone who I can't remember but the guy was 80 some yrs. if I remember correctly.

    Lyric:
    My eyes have been opened and they're open very wide.

    Lyric:
    The whiteness of confusion is unfolding from my mind

    I stand around and wonder
    Have I left my life behind

    The teacher that Neil Peart went to in the 90s was a guy by the name Freddy Gruber, and old-school drummer/teacher. What spurred him onto that was he produced a recording of big band music entitled Burning for Buddy. He lined up Buddy Rich’s. Band and a veritable Who’s Who of drummers! It has some amazing music in there if you love drums check it outhxq7xvaph4ak.jpeg

    Arguably the best drummer who ever lived. His mark on the music world will go on forever. He was one of my very favorite drummers and his knowledge of the instrument is flat out fascinating. He will truly be missed and I hope he is in a better place with his drums and soul of music.
    I'm sad to hear that he passed but I'm glad on another level that he is not suffering anymore.
    RIP and ROCK ON!

    Perhaps my favorite band, and Neil being my favorite drummer.

    Put on Caress of Steel and for so many reasons I can't listen without 😢 crying . I was there at the St. Paul civic Center to witness the live show of this album and then some. What a huge impact the group made on me. Not an easy loss this one is.

    This is what I copied from Youtube. If it doesn't work. Google Neil Peart A Work in Progress.

    I guess I didn't make it clear that was the title of the video

    P.s It's 2 hours long so I watched on my TV rather than on my computer.
