Gibson.com's "Top 10 Rock Drummers of All Time"

Gibson.com has added a new feature to their website giving their take on "The Top 10 Rock Drummers of All Time".  Coming in at #2 is Rush's Neil Peart, second only to Led Zeppelin's John Bonham:
"Drummer and lyricist for Rush, Neal [sic] Peart is hailed in many circles as the quintessential rock drummer. He’s known for his ingenious drum parts and intense solos with lead passages that rock hard and prove the drums, indeed, can be a lead instrument. No Rush concert is complete without Peart’s sparking, obligatory drum solo, and his syncopated drumming style certainly has its own distinct sound and aura. You can always tell when it’s Peart playing." - Gibson.com, May 31, 2011 Thanks to B-man for the headsup!

  1. Drums are a fascinating and fun instrument, but they are also complex and not so easily mastered like some people would like to believe. Every good drummer has a set of basic skills that form a foundation of his or her drumming. In order to keep the beat and stay on time, you have to understand the basics of counting time.
