    So no room in the top three for Billy Higgins, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Billy Cobham, Tony Williams and Clyde Stubblefield?
    Must be top 3 white drummers, because Coltrane, Miles, and James Brown could and did get the best rhythm section they could.

    I took it as top 3 in rock. Jazz musicians tend to be really good at what they do.

    Hate to hear about this.

    I’ve been playing drums for a long time and although I’m much more of a Dave Grohl / John Bonham type, I’ve always had an incredible amount of respect for his ability.

    I don't listen much to Rush, mostly because their music becomes overwhelming quickly. I do recognize their talent, though. It's hard to pick a top anything, mostly because I don't know enough about what makes a good drummer. I know I enjoy Keith Moon as much as anybody, and lately I've been noticing how good Ian Paice is, but frankly, I don't know.

    Overwhelming is a great way to describe it. It is a lot to take in.

    Yeah, I really enjoy Rush, but I completely understand folks that don’t like it.

    I think this conversation is something I think is really cool about Peart and Rush. He/they made music knowing it would not appeal to everyone and really leaned in to it. Peart wrote songs that was, for lack of a better term, for introverted nerds because that is who he was. That is why someone like myself, who has nerdy tendencies embraces the music so much.

    I remember when Working Man was released, then 2112 - blew me away! LOL Got to see them twice back in the 70s.

    Keith Moon was his hero - and Neil represented the craft very well. RIP Neil

    You can listen Tom Sawyer and hear things you never heard before.

    Very layered, very complex.

    Right, I also highly recommend everyone listen to Subdivisions a couple dozen times.

    Rest In Peace, Neil. Rush was the band I listened to the most in my late teens. If I had gotten my high school girlfriend pregnant with triplets, I would have insisted on naming them By-Tor, Snow Dog, and Cygnus XI.
    Stick to your guns.
