Even the drummer from converge seems to me to be more talented. And don't get me started on zach hill(hella, the bygones, the ladies! Death grips) like I said Neil doesn't seem to me to be doing anything that special. So what is it that I am not hearing? Please tell me. The statement "Neil Peart is the best drummer" has left me perplexed for years.

Man I complete disagree with you here. Neil Peart is such an incredible drummer. I have many friends who are drummers who get so much inspiration from Peart. Whenever you listen to the songs he's on you just feel the power behind his drumming. Plus like other people mentioned, he's a showman. He can play the hell out of his drum set and get the crowd going.
