Several members of this forum, have made comments on why Neil Peart. As I said, the Drummies are based soley on the voting by ANYONE. If you read the release that I included in the post, it makes it very clear that the Drummies are open to voting from anyone.

Those musicians, drummers and fans made the decision on Peart. I appreciate all of your comments, but the Drummies have always resulted in questions like those that have been asked here.

That's all I can say. If you don't like the results, Peart, for example, I ask this:

Did you vote? DRUM! posted the voting rules and stipulations months ago. If you don't like the results, I encourage you to exercise your right to vote in the future.

Thanks for your comments. I can only answer based on the information that I know...

As much as I love Neil Peart, there are sure to be others who actually deserve the award. Especially progressive drummer? What has he/Rush done in the past 10+ years that could be considered progressive?

As a writer, I would rather not comment directly on his victory. However, it does indicate that there is a strong population of drummers and musicians, who respect him greatly.

There were many other winners this year, that made this year's Drummies very interesting.

Here's a link to the winners.

Don't get me wrong. I totally respect Neil and love his playing, but there are a few other drummers I find more interesting these days.

Gavin Harrison to name one.
