    I agree. Primus was sick.

    Neil Peart? ehh... Every drummer goes through their neil peart phase, then they get over it for the msot part. I find alot of NP's drumming predictable. Its alot of [insert fast drum fill around all toms] here. Tim Alexander was more creative.

    Plus Neil Peart looks look like a constipated cancer patient playing. It looks like he has so much trouble playing what he does.

    Peart is one of the least predictable drummers. Please show me where any of his music is fast drum fills around toms. Have you seen him before? He is the highest regarded drummer for the past 30 years. He is getting older, but he still gets the job done.

    Fine band.
    Also like Opeth, Riverside, Dream Theatre and Porcupine Tree.

    I like Peart but if you want to know who, in my opinion, is the best jazz drummer is Matt Cameron.
    I spoke to John Hanes, a good drummer himself and the conversation drifted towards Matt's incredible drumming.
    Apparently Matt is a hero and in the lines of Gene Kupra.

    Ive seen them live. I dont care for his drumming anymore. 2112 is loaded with those fills, same with the ending of Limelight. His later drumming is better imo(main monkey business, malignant narcicism, 5:30 and on from secret touch). I know plenty about Rush. Neil Peart plays the same exact way every time, I like drummers who changes things up.

    Fair enough then. We will agree to disagree.

    From the Buddy Rich memorial concert. He is a fine jazz drummer.

    RUSH is definitely one of the best musically...and lyrically. I mean, all you need to do is listen to "Trees" and you know it!
    submitted the lyrics for the trees in 10th grade english as my own for a poetry assignment. Got away with it , but had to decline the offer by the teacher to submit it to the school newspaper!

    That close to being busted!!!



    Rush is a thinking mans band.

    well the FACT the man has to relearn his drum parts because he changes his kit set up EVERY tour says a lot.

    That is some good jazz drumming. But just like for him and also matt cameron, no rock drummer who plays jazz also is as good as a real jazz drummer.

    YES [size=14+]RUSH[/size] is one the most talented and gift set of musicians ever. Dreamtheater right their too, Love Mike Portnoy on drums second favorite drummer.

    I have to say the BEST TRIO of a band EVER!

    I've been following them since Hemispheres and saw them for the first time on the GRACE UNDER PRESSURE tour and seen them 30+ times since. I can't get enough of them live as they get ready to release Snakes & Arrows Live on DVD soon.

    Also they've released some of the best album covers ever too love the simple intensity of the cover of *Hold Your Fire*

    Peace

    *MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*

    Aye but incredible players or not, the best the jazz world has to offer is superior to the best in the rock world.
