Given the subject line many names come to mind such as Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Phil Collins and Carl Palmer but, is Neil Peart the greatest rock drummer of all time?

He was just a pup at Woodstock and earned his post as the drummer for Santana because of this performance..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZceAQSJvc

I guess one would also have to consider Bill Bruford as well.

I knew when I typed the post that I left out Bonzo but then I would have to mention Mickey Hart. I felt bad about that but one has to draw the line somewhere. I still think Neil Peart is among the best due to technical ability and creativity.
