Neil Peart

Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t their initial American concert.

When Rush rolled into New Orleans on May 22, they had an extra VIP in attendance.

Stewart Copeland clearly has some very interesting names in his Rolodex.

It's not much of a surprise to us here at the Hawk that Neil Peart came out on top as he is truly one of the greatest drummers, if not the greatest drummer who has ever lived. We would say Alex Van Halen was more of a surprise... especially beating Jon Bonham of Led Zeppelin in the semi-finals...

Though it moved far afield, a new Twitter Q&A with Rush's Geddy Lee did touch on a few musical topics -- in between those about, say, bandmate Neil Peart's scent after a concert.

Rush's drummer says that band's vaults are empty.

Hey everybody!!! It is time for me to share one of my favorites with you. Every day I cruise the internet looking for whatever tune floats my boat at the moment! Today my favorite is Neil Peart. I would love to hear your suggestions, and who knows maybe I will post one of your favorites right here on The Hawk's website...

The members of Rush have experienced a lot of crazy things over the past 40 years, but fleeing the stage during the middle of a show has never been one of them. Not until recently, anyway.

Musicians know that the Rush catalog is loaded with Neil Peart’s distinct, intricate drum work. Aspiring percussionists can get an inside look at the master’s approach via his new instructional DVD, which is scheduled for an Oct. 14 release.

What do you get when you take members of Rush, Tool, Primus and The Police, and put them in a studio together? You get a tune called Count Drumula, the result of a jam session with Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland.

I'm a sucker for drum news of any kind.   When the kind is from Rush and Police I get pretty excited.  The coolest part of the interview posted here from Gibson is the source.  Rush fans will find a ton of links and video at musicradar...

Even if you don't want the guitar, you should get excited about the tour.  It just hit America. Click Here.
