There are drummers and then there is Neil Peart. I believe for most of us he was the “one”. I would Rush ( no pun) home from school to play Natural science , subdivisions and numerous other tracks. His playing helped shape the drummer I am today. RIP professor .I????Neil Peart— Charlie Benante (@skisum) January 10, 2020

It is unbelievably sad to hear that my favorite drummer of all time, Neil Peart, has left us. Very hard to find words to properly express the level of inspiration & influence he had on so so many musicians. He will forever remain at the top of my list.

So much love and respect for Neil Peart. From his incredible playing, to his wonderful lyrics, for all the personal loss he had overcome, for being embarrassed by the trappings of fame, for his wit and humility and being a part of one of the greatest bands ever. Thank you so much https://t.co/OsMhfo4Y2B— Sacred Reich (@SacredReich) January 10, 2020

Fuck this timeline. Definition of gut punched. I feel like I just lost my cool uncle. My cool uncle that was also the best rock drummer to ever live. So sad there will never be Rush 50, still thought I’d see them one last time in Toronto doing a one off. RIP Neil Peart pic.twitter.com/FpMTMJT199— Brian Posehn (@thebrianposehn) January 10, 2020

Beyond saddened to hear the news about Neil Peart. His impact on rock history is indelible and his influence on drummers everywhere inescapable. Our thoughts are with Neil’s family, Alex, Geddy and the millions of people that his gift touched and inspired. This one hurts. pic.twitter.com/7UdkNyz6hn— Nickelback (@Nickelback) January 11, 2020

Rest in Peace, Neil Peart. My first massive drumming influence and one of my biggest influences EVER. We've lost one of the greatest drummers who has ever lived. Rest easy Neil and thanks for all you brought to the drumming world. #RIPNeilPeart #TheProfessor pic.twitter.com/rXm6TwUbjV— Ryan Van Poederooyen (@rvanpoederooyen) January 10, 2020
