The next neil peart

me.... (maybe)

aahahahahahah

Neil Peart is still the best and will always be the best, regardless of his age!

However, if someone has to succeed him, I would go for Jon Theodore of The Mars Volta.  Technically outstanding and the vulcrum of the band's live performances.

jon theodore will never be the best drummer

Pah, Neil Peart and Bill Bruford are untouchable, but if I HAD to pick a new drummer I fancy, i'd probably go with Martin Nordrum Kneppen from Wobbler, and i'll probably be the only one to say that.

Axel Von Blomberg (Winds, Age of Silence and hundreds of others), Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar, Lunaris, Spiral Architect), Martin Kneppen also has a nice performance on Asmegin- Hin Vordende sod og Sø. Another great one is Zoltan Csörz (TFK, OPus Atlantica)

if you mean who will be the peart as in same style then portnoy. he is on the verge of being a pert wanna be but IMO peart is overrated anyway, the best drummers right now (also IMO) are danny carey, john theodore, chris pennie, and ben koller

You can never call Peart overrated.  Just check out YYZ or O Baterista to realise why he is a legend.

You know, I've been listening to Peart, but I honestly can't see what all the hype is about. Maybe it's because I'm not a drummer so I can't really make an accurate judgement of how good someone is, but I think Peart pales in comparison to someone like, say, Billy Cobham. In fact, I never thought Rush as a whole had an overwhelming amount of technique, although admittedly the Geddy Lee does pull some cool stuff on "YYZ."
