Neil Peart

Whoever said size doesn’t matter never saw or heard Neil Peart’s epic drum kit in action. With more than thirty sound generating devices arrayed before him, Peart was the locomotive that drove the mighty freight train of a power trio called Rush. Less well known but just as remarkable were the fantastical lyrics he wrote for the band’s songs over a career that spanned five decades. A proud Canadian as well as the author of six books, Neil Peart, like his drum kit, will forever be larger than life.
