It's Been 5 Years THE PROFESSOR Has Been Gone

[BHC]

I started playing the drums at the age of 7 as my father was a drummer and my sister's ex-husband is a drummer, the first time I can remember hearing RUSH was in 1981 MOVING PICTURES ALBUM, I was sold on them but it was the drumming of Neil Peart that blew me away. It took me many years to play his songs, very frustrating /demanding, and challenging but well worth it. There are many great drummers out there, but none will come close to his time signatures, off-beats etc. I was lucky enough to see RUSH 22 times over the years. Rest in Peace Professor & thank you

Drum in peace Mr. Peart!!

my older brother was a big Rush fan. I liked their stuff too. Tom Sawyer was a cool song!!

Damn. I am a Rush van. RIP!

In the mornings I listen to the Preston and Steve show on 93.3.  Wmmr  

For folks who don't know it's a rock n roll music station in Philly. The guy, Preston, is a huge Peart fan.  He's gonna be crushed.

He's been dead for 5 years.

There was an entire day of Rush on xm radio and on regular radio

I been drumming 40+ years.   Neil was an inspiration to all!   Cant believe it's been 5 years already.  Stewart Copeland was my biggest influence.

Haha. Shows you how much (or not) I know about Rush. Yesterday was the anniversary of his death hence why he was talking about about him on the radio.

Really? 5 years. Ugggggggh. Arguably the best drummer that ever walked the planet.
