agubrizbassman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What i mean to say, the album that features Pratt's greatest drumming skills, I would have to say Fly By Night and AFTK, but of course he's Neil Freakin Peart, What album isn't he awesome in!?

ReRushed Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hemispheres through Signals. Take your pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 All of them. :) Yes...in my mind, it's impossible to separate the best from the best. You can pick A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres because of all the tricky middle 8s and time signatures in general, but the later stuff is just as challenging, I think, just because of the way he approaches the instrument. Even in the 'simpler' songs, nobody plays like Neil. Nobody else has so many of those fills that he tosses off, seemingly in his sleep. He is the master!

GeminiRising79 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Better question to ask would be "What is Neil's worst drumming album"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Gemini > Better question to ask would be "What is Neil's worst drumming album"? The very first Rush album… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hard to pick a “best” but Moving Pictures is likely the one… the power, the great fills and even the way Terry Brown produced his drums on that album. And, the Tama drums sounded so good. Unreal. If I am allowed to include a second best - Permanent Waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dscrapre Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like what he was doing in the 80's. Just as technical as before but with more of a percussive flavor. Tracks like The Weapon, High Water and Scars have particularly outstanding drumming to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hemispheres is my favourite. The subtle percussive touches throughout that album really light up the soundscape. Epitomised by the Ting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Power Windows or Hold Your Fire without a doubt. He really upped his game with those two with incorporating electronics. I feel like they're Geddy's best bass albums too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersyl Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Anything pre-Gruber, except for CA where he stepped it up like the old days (Although the drums sound like crap on the album, compared to the Caravan/BU2B single). Presto is an underrated drumming album! (I played to it just last week for the first time in a few years!) :Neil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
