“Please note I’m not saying Peart was BETTER than Moonie or Bonzo.”
Okay, then. I’ll say it. Peart was definitely better than Bonham. :) And in regards to timekeeping, he was also better than Keith Moon.
Neil Peart was easily the most technically accomplished rock drummer we have ever seen. And he wasn’t too shabby as a lyricist either.
Pretty much everyone was a better time keeper than Moonie.
Btw, the grand prize for greatest technician ever is Vinnie Colaiuta.
