I used to love Neil Peart, when I was a teen, trying to emulate him. The thing is, he hasn't evolved one iota in 30 years. It's intense intense intense with him. It gets tedious after a while.
I'll give credit where it's due...he's one of the best, technically, to ever play. But doing big rolls and making sure you hit every cymbal along the way while simultaneously beating the heck out of the foot bass is simply pretentious.
Just my opinion.
