Neil Peart

I adapted a quote of yours from not reading your posts I guess. I never said you said he wasn't a good drummer. I've already told you the problem I have with your posts. Read mine?

I guess she has a Drumometer to tell her the optimal number of percussive units. You should really read my posts. I NEVER said Peart is not a good drummer,

I NEVER said Peart is disrespectful, to other drummers. You should really read my posts.

You single him out for criticism for no good reason when nobody has done any of the things which you claim as the reasons for you speaking out against him I'll consider that bashing.

I have not criticised him at all. What gives you the idea? I merely said he is not as exceptional as his fans make him, which means nothing else that there are several other drummers wo are just as good as he,. Period. Buit it seems you Peart fans can''t live with that.

I do not disrespect his big drum kit, I only say ij is not necessary at all, only for his  solo. Or do you disagree there?
But I give up; you deliberately twist my words. 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.

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.

Peart is definitely one of my favorite drummers. Especially his drumming on "Moving Pictures" has always amazed me. I also love the sound of his kit on that album. Generally I´m not a major Rush fan though, and I actually wish he would play even more flamboyant than he does on most albums by the band. The lyrics? I don´t pay much attention really. Lyrics seldom interest me. As far as I´ve given them attention they are not fantastic. They are allright.

Period again. Actually as Tony quoted you clearly disrespected it. You called it nothing but frills. That's not a compliment.  I'm not twisting your words. You're twisting mine actually while claiming I don't read your posts. Every time a point is made you simply ignore it and switch direction.  Thanks for the punctuation clarification by the way. PEART 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!! Nonsense. Where is the disrespect there? You twist my words. Did I or did I not acknowledge Peart's skills? So where is your  problem? Can you really not sand it there are many other drummners who are equally skilled?
