Great drummer, but greatest ever? I think I would still put Steve Gadd ahead of him, just for "Aja" alone.
Don’t leave out original Steely drummer Chevy Chase
I’m a drummer, and comparing Gadd to Peart is sort of an apples/oranges debate.
Neal was an amazing player and had his own unique style. So do Garibaldi, Vinnie, Belson, Rich, Tony Williams, Bonham, Moon, Cobham and so many others...
Lots of great drummers such as Ginger Baker, Stuart Copeland, John Bonham, Buddy Rich, etc..
