Neil Peart

I can only repeat it: Peart is an exceellent drummer, and so are many others. Period. He is no better or worse than them  Anytrhing else is personal taste. My personal taste is that I find his style boring because he never does the unexpected, but that is merely my pesonal taste. Period again.

When have I claimed he claimed that?

But I did not bash Peart at all; this is only in your imagination. I even explicitely acknowledged his skills. Please quote me where I bash him.

You should really read my posts. I NEVER said Peart is not a good drummer, I only said he is not as exceptionlal as he is being depicted and that there are several drummers who are just as good.. But of course fanboys don't want to hear that; they want to put their belovd Neil on a pedestal with a  laurel wreath upon his head, and if I don't agree I am a Peart hater. Nonsense.
WhenI  was younger I loved huge drumkits. Today I see them as the equivalence to big cars. A good drummer does not need a big drum kit. That does NOT mean that someone who uses a big drum kid is NOT a good drummer. But honestly: What is that big drum kit of Peart being used for? It only gets into action during that solo of his. In other other words: it is nothing but frills.
