My condolences to his family and friends. Rush is one of those bands that will bend your mind on the musical spectrum. Definitely a world class drummer/percussionist and one of the best, if not the best. RIP

Sad day.
The "new guy" is with his daughter and wife finally.

Crushed....
As soon as I get home, I’m gonna sit my ass down, twist up a fat fucking joint, plug in my headphones, and listen to the first side of 2112, all of Moving Pictures, and finish it off with Permanent Waves. When I was growing up, not everyone liked Rush, but that made them even cooler in my eyes.
Neil was not only one of the best percussionists to come along since Ginger Baker or John Bonham, he was also a genius lyricist and writer. An artist in the truest sense of the word...he left behind so much good music for us to remember him by.
RIP, Champion. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Probably my favorite song. Perfect for smoking hashish. This is the live version. 
Rush ~ Xanadu ~ Exit Stage Left [1981]

My brother, when learning the drums, had Rush on continual loop.
Hes devastated.
But, he got me into them. And Im glad he did.
Ive seen them MANY times (oddly enough, Presto was my favorite tour. Laser lights....inflatable bunny.....white widow twisted up. The whole she-bang. Still ranks as one of the best shows Ive ever seen......and ive seen A-Lot!
Rest easy, Neil. You will never truly know how many lives your work and dedication have touched, and how many drummers you've inspired in your wake.
I've been playing each album, in its entirety since I got home from work today. Got teary-eyed when I was working through Caress of Steel.....

Im crushed. Lyrical master and few on the kit filled 8 bars as well as Neil Peart.
Thank you for the memories.
I bet Geddy and Alex are heartbroken.

That is my favorite song.
Named my first and probably only dog after that song.
First Rush album I bought was Hold Your Fire. Back in 88 I was 15 and a drummer.
Been a die hard fan since.
Tearing up as soon as this song started...

Hold Your Fire was such an underrated album.
This one hurts.
Who knows how many drummers this man has influenced and started on their own way to mastering "the kit?"
The heavens must have one hell of a band considering all the talent we have lost over the years.

Rush, such a deep catalog.
Moving pictures figures large in my rotation.
YYZ, the Camera Eye.
Gonna smoke some thunk hash and don the grados, RIP.
