Man, music lost a great one.
How many of today’s modern drummer’s has that guy influenced?
RIP Neil. Your legacy lives on.

They were such a big part of my life. This one is tough to take.
If your heroes are still touring, go see them. You never know when it will be the last time.

This hurts
What a wonderful talent.
I truly love Rush's music, it means so much to me. It's special special music, Neil's playing was so inventive and coloured the songs. So many ideas and they worked for the song.
That on it's own made him special, but his wonderful wonderful words. When i was growing up the things he would write in those songs I would listen over and over helped get my head round growing up
Thoughts go out to his family, Alex and Geddy
He will never be forgotten

I saw Rush many, many times. Several times I sat behind the stage in the Pittsburgh Civic Arena just to marvel at Neil. Once during his drum solo my friends and I (who were both drummers) were going absolutely nuts. So much so that Neil apparently heard us. He paused during his solo and turned and stood facing us with his arms outstretched as if to say “Well, what do you think of that?”. Needless to say we went crazy and he had a good laugh. One of my most cherished memories.
Condolences
RIP

It was because of him, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey that I became some sort of a 'closeted' drummer, just never had the chance to buy a drum kit either because no space and/or picky neighbors. His passing really hits me as he showed me (along the other guys, coincidentally influenced by him) how the drums could be so much more than a 'beat machine' and really soar to new heights composition-wise.

Dang, this is tough. Saw every tour since my first Rush show in 1999. Never even heard the guy make a mistake, and I’m admittedly quite judgey when I’m at shows. I almost didn’t make it to the R40, and now so glad I did. Such a major loss for the community and industry.
