Why is Neil Peart so good?

I have been listening to rush for a couple hours now and honestly his drumming does not impress me. I understand that he has a lot to with the writing of the music, and I like rush, they are good. But I do not think he deserves as much hype as he gets. I love prog-rock, math-rock, post-rock, ect... I know some great drummers within the rock realm. The drummer from don cab is amazing. 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.
