I was a big RUSH fan growing up. Neil Peart was idolized by many rock drummers. He got a lot of flack for not being a Jazz drummer but, I don’t care. RUSH was a trio and sounded like a much bigger band and he was a huge part of it.
RIP Neil

He was a great drummer. He may not have been a jazz drummer but he studied and appreciated Buddy Rich and played on his tribute album.
RIP

He was real good at what he did. He wasn’t my favorite drummer of all time but, I enjoyed his playing. Rush was a three piece band that sounded like a much bigger band and wrote interesting music. I even played in a Rush tribute band a few times.

I saw RUSH in Texas. The new girl was a hit.

Anika Nilles looks like the perfect choice as the drummer. The videos of their early concerts are pretty impressive.
Geddy's voice is certainly showing his age though. He's certainly not terrible like David Lee Roth is now, but let's face it, he's 72 and age will do that to you.
