Postcards from
Neil
As
many people know, Neil Peart used to answer letters sent to him through
Modern Drummer.
He wrote individual responses, handwritten at first and then typed and printed
from a computer. He continued this practice until the secret got out on the
Internet about how to get a personal postcard from Neil.
I've seen a few of these postcards and have always found them interesting. So, I
thought including a handful here would be of interest to other Peart fans.
If you have a postcard you'd like to share,
please send me
an e-mail.

Story:
"Back after the November release of Presto, RUSH took December off for the
holidays. In January they rehearsed for the tour, and started the tour in
February. I sent my questions via "The RUSH Backstage Club" in December, and got
this postcard in mid February. I was curious of how Neil got the snare to turn
on and off so quick (particularly in the song "The Big Money"). My kit at the
time had a fairly crappy snare strainer flip, so it was a bear to play the song.
These days, being older and with more money, I have a way better drum set with
better functioning gear! :)
This is the postcard I returned home to one day. Was a real awesome
moment in time for a die-hard RUSH fan!"
