Neil Peart was a legend. His influence is huge! I can think of a couple of big things. First, his technical skill. The guy was a powerhouse, with incredible precision and speed. He pushed what drummers thought possible. Second, he wasn't just about chops. He was all about making the drums sing and serve the song. His creativity in fills and song structure is what truly set him apart.
