The first time I heard Neil Peart...

1981... It was after midnight, and I was listening to my clock radio when I heard "Tom Sawyer" for the first time. Even

playing on that tiny mono speaker, I heard the power of

those drums and the intensity of the band, Rush. Things

would never be the same for me.

Due to Neil's influence, I became a drummer and a writer, and continue to do both to this day (26 years later).
