Is Peart still revered among young Drummers?

Now that it looks like Neil is officially " retired", was wondering if young drummers appreciate what he's brought to the world of rock drumming in his 40 + years?

He's only been retired a year. I know people's attention spans are shorter now but don't you think it's a bit soon to be asking that question? :P

Haha.. true! I'm just curious if drummers from the millennial generation are inspired by his drumming the way they were back in his prime years

I would imagine so due to the plethora of videos, articles and sheer volume of music they've put out over the years. He's still one of the best rock drummers out there, if not the best. As long as there are new up and coming musicians, he should still be influential. However with less people playing instruments compared to the past, it's hard to know how long that will be the case.

I wouldn't be surprised if Neil never played drums again or at least anywhere outside his house. I think listeners don't car or know who they are but hardcore musicians will always love good players.

I think Neil will always be held in high regard, as will Rush as a band ... Neil's impact is based on something that young and future musicians will always look back to as influential ..

 

Plus, he was never a rock star - he was a rock god ... They live forever

Of course, yes, absolutely!

Admiration, techniques, inspiration, reverence and brilliant music will continue for years and years.

It'll cross at least two or three future generations!

Not sure how good they are for lyric writing.

Which is a larger part of what's wrong with music today.

I'm not against using electronic percussion if it is an accompaniment to an acoustic set. But just programmable drum machines and no one actually playing any instruments is my point.

I have talked to so many young drummers ( Toronto area ) Trust me kids 16-25 know exactly who he is and are truly inspired by him

Its the same thing with Buddy rich- I play drums but he was way before my time - never knew who the hell was-or was into jazz .

Until i seen him onTV on carson or the muppets for the first time years and years ago I thought he was a freak of nature what he can do on the drums .Incredible

If you play drums at all -you search things -its a matter of a few clicks and Peart comes up somewhere doing it the way only Peart can do . Masterclass

That would still be considered a drum machine. I think. :P

If you would actually read Xanadood's question you would realize that it's just a hypothetical question. See the quotes.

It's Rush fans like you that are clueless.

Always hoping that Neil will come out of retirement and do one more gig.

 

Perhaps the Bon Jovi album "Keep The Faith" would interest your arrogant musical mind of quality rock records.

 

Asking a question like this is right on par.

 

Neil is done.

 

Move on.

Neil's past performance and writing is Eternal. It will live on forever as long as the Earth is still in existence.

As for humanity. We are all relative. Stuck in our aging bodies.

 

But "The Spirit Carries On."

 

God I hate Dream Theater........

Nope. Sorry. If you would actually read what I said then you would see that I didn't mention anything about wanting to him to play any more. I was talking about the length of time he had been retired and how young people have short attention spans,but not THAT short.

 

Boy, such anger and resentment. I feel sorry for you that you can't let things go.
