Probably the most influential drummer of our time. He certainly recruited more bedroom-drummers than any out there, including me. I played drums in my teenage years, and i used to air-drum to Neal so many times. He was a true composer on the drums and rarely moved the notes from his songs every live performance. That is why his drumming compositions was so memorable. I still know Tom Sawyer and YYZ by heart.
Truly shocking to wake up today to read he was gone. Rest in peace hero.

Rest in peace, awesome drummer.
Moving Pictures is the first Rush album I bought and I recall I was BLOWN AWAY by what they did in YYZ.
