Career before joining Rush
In eighteen years, after struggling to succeed as a drummer in Canada Peart went to London hoping to pursue his career as a professional musician. Despite playing in several bands and picking up a work session occasionally, he was forced to support himself by selling trinkets to tourists in a souvenir shop called The Great Frog on Carnaby Street.
In London he encountered the writings of novelist Ayn Rand and Objectivist. Rand's writings became a significant influence on philosophical Peart, as he found many of its treaties individualism and objectivism inspiration. References to Rand's philosophy can be found in his lyrics, including "The Anthem" 1975's Fly By Night and "2112" 2112 in 1976.
After eighteen months of deadlock, music concerts, and are disappointed by his lack of progress in the business of music, Peart put his aspiration to become a professional musician on hold and return to Canada. Back in St. Catharines, he worked for his father selling tractor parts at Dalziel Equipment.
Join Rush
After his return to Canada, Peart was recruited to play drums St. Catharines for the group Hush, who played on the tour of South Bar of Ontario. Shortly after, a mutual acquaintance convinced Peart to audition for the Toronto-based group Rush, which needed a replacement for his original drummer John Rutsey. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson oversaw the hearing. His friends Future Group to describe his arrival that day that bit of humor, as he arrived in shorts, driving a battered old car with his drums stored in the garbage. Peart said the whole hearing was a complete disaster. While Lee and Peart he struck off on a personal level (both sharing similar tastes in books and music), Lifeson had a less favorable impression of Peart. After discussion, Lee Lifeson Peart convinced that British style maniac drum, which recalls the Who's Keith Moon, was what the band needed.
Peart officially joined the group on July 29, 1974, two weeks before the first group of the U.S. tour. Peart get a silver Slingerland kit that he played his first gig with the band, opening for Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann in front of more than 11,000 people at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 14, 1974.
Early career with Rush
Peart soon be installed in his new position, also becomes the group's main songwriter. Prior to joining Rush, he had written some songs, but with the other members of little interest for writing the lyrics, Peart previously under-used writing was also noticed that his musicality. The group is always looking its feet as an act of registration, and Peart, with the rest of the band, must now learn to live in a suitcase.
His first recording with the group, 1975's Fly by Night, was fairly successful, won the Juno Award for most promising new act, but monitoring, Caress of Steel, in which the group had great hopes, has been greeted with hostility by both fans and critics. In response to this negative reception, most of which was intended to B-side cover epic "The Fountain Lamneth," said Peart write "2112" on their next album of the same name in 1976. The album despite record company indifference, became their breakthrough and goes to school in the United States. Support Tower has resulted in a three-night stand at Massey Hall in Toronto, a place Peart had dreamed of playing in his days on the circuit of South Bar of Ontario, where he was introduced as "Professor the battery "by Lee.
Peart returned to England to tour Europe and North Rush the band stayed in the United Kingdom to record the next album, 1977 A Farewell to Kings in Rockfield Studios in Wales. They returned to Rockfield to record the follow-up, Hemispheres, in 1978, who wrote entirely in the studio. The recording five studio albums in four years, coupled with nearly 300 concerts a year, convinced the group to take a different approach thereafter. Peart has described his time in the band until the point that "in a dark tunnel."
From this point on, the career of Peart was almost exclusively Rush

Reinvention Game Style
In 1992, Peart was invited by the daughter of Buddy Rich, Cathy Rich, playing the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship Concert in New York. Although initially intimidated by the application, Peart has accepted the offer and performed for the first time with the Buddy Rich Big Band. Sensing that his performance left much to be desired, Peart decided to produce and play on albums by Buddy Rich tribute two entitled Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the music of Buddy Rich in 1994 and 1997 to find his aplomb.
Peart wrote on his website that "... Yet I still had a nagging sense that when I played in this style, I just imitate, not really feeling well. As the old standard of Duke Ellington goes, 'No, it means nothing, if she Ain got that swing, and I don think I did. "
In early 2007, Peart and Cathy Rich again began to discuss yet another tribute concert Buddy. In response, Peart decided to increase a Again his swing style formal drum lessons, this time under the tutelage of another student Freddie Gruber, Peter Erskine, himself an instructor drummer Steve Gadd. On October 18, 2008, Peart once again conducted at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
family tragedy and continuing on
Shortly after the completion of the test For Echo Rush Tour July 4, 1997, Peart and the first girl child, while 19 year old Selena Taylor, was killed in an accident involving a single vehicle on Highway 401 near the town of Brighton, Ontario, August 10. His common-law wife of 22 , Jacqueline Taylor, succumbed to cancer just 10 months later, June 20, 1998. Peart, however, argues that his death was the result of a "heart broken "and called it" a slow suicide of apathy. It simply does not care. "
In his book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Road healing, Peart writes of how he had told his musicians at Selena's funeral, "consider me retired." Peart took a break to mourn and reflect, during which he traveled extensively in North America on his BMW motorcycle, covering 88.000 kilometers (55.000 miles). After completion of travel, Peart decided to return to the band. Peart wrote Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road as a chronicle of his journey Geographic and emotional.
While Peart was visiting long-time Rush photographer Andrew MacNaughtan Los Angeles, introduced MacNaughtan Peart to his future wife, photographer Carrie Nuttall. They were married Sept. 9, 2000. In early 2001, Peart announced to his followers that he was ready to return to recording and stage. The product of the band back in 2002 was the album Vapor Trails. At the beginning of the tour that followed in support of the album, it was decided between the band members that Peart would not take part in the daily press interviews and "Meet and Greet" sessions upon arrival in a new city that typically monopolize daily program touring band. While Peart has always shied away from these types meetings in person, it was decided that to unnecessary exposure to an endless stream of questions about the tragic events of his life was quite unnecessary.
Since the release of Vapor Trails and meet with his fellow band mates, Peart has returned to work as a musician in time full. Rush has since released a cover EP, Feedback in June 2004 and their 18th studio album Snakes & Arrows in May 2007, which were supported by three additional rounds in 2004, 2007 and 2008.

Peart is consistently ranked as one of the greatest rock drummers by fans musicians, and magazines. His influences are eclectic, ranging from John Bonham, Michael Giles, Phil Collins, Steve Gadd, and Keith Moon, to fusion and jazz drummers Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Bill Bruford and Gene Krupa. WHO was the first group that inspired to write songs and play drums. Peart stands for playing "butt out", reversing the direction stick for greater impact and increased capacity Rimshot. "When I started "Out, Peart later said:" If I broke the tip of my stick, I could not afford to buy new, so I just want them turn around and use the other end. I'm used to it, and continue to use the heavy end of lighter sticks - it gives me a solid impact, but with less "dead weight" to sling around. "
Peart has long played just matched grip, however, he decided moving from traditional part of its reinvention of style in the mid-1990s under the tutelage of trainer Freddie Gruber jazz. Shortly after shooting his first instructional DVD A Work in Progress, Peart went back to using mainly correspondence, although it does return to the traditional When playing songs from Test for Echo and during times when he feels traditional harvest is more appropriate, as the rudimentary snare of his drum solo.

Equipment
Neil Peart drum kit and 360 degrees
With Rush, Peart has played Slingerland, Tama, Ludwig, and Drum Workshop drums, in that order.
Historically, he played cymbals Zildjian A Series Cymbal China Wuhan. In the early 2000s, Peart away Zildjian, and Wuhan and began exclusively using Paragon, a line created for him by Sabian. In concert Peart uses a complex 360-degree drum kit, with a great acoustic set at the front and rear drums electronic.
Neil Peart began incorporating Simmons Electronic Drums beginning of 1984 Grace Under Pressure
During the late 1970s, increased its configuration Peart acoustic percussion instruments, including various orchestral bells, tubular bells, wind chimes, cymbals, timpani, timpani, gong, temple blocks, bell tree, triangle, and melodic cowbells. Since the mid-1980s, Peart has replaced several of these pieces with trigger pads MIDI. This was done in order to trigger sounds sampled from various pieces of acoustic percussion that would otherwise consume far too stage space. Some purely electronic sounds are also used non-instrumental. A conventional MIDI pad is used Malletkat Express is a two-octave MIDI electronic device that resembles a xylophone or piano. The Express Malletkat is composed of rubber pads for the "keys" so that any card can be used. From 1984 to Grace Under Pressure, he used Simmons electronic drums on the Akai digital. Peart has performed several songs primarily using the electronic part of his drum kit. (For example, "Red Sector A", "Closer To The Heart "on A Show of Hands (video) and" Mystic Rhythms "on R30.) Peart drum solos also feature items made primarily the electronic part of his kit.
Soon after making the choice to include electronic drums and triggers, Peart added what is become another trademark of his kit: a rotating drum riser. During live Rush shows, the automatic rotation riser can exchange dynamically Peart parties to kit ("front", traditional kit, and "return" electronic kit). A staple of Peart drum solo live performance was in rotation-and-swap the front and back kits as part of the solo itself. This special effect simultaneously provides a symbolic transition styles in drum solo and is a visual feast the public.
In the early 2000s, Peart began taking full advantage of advances in battery technology electronics, mainly incorporating Roland V-Drums and continued use of samplers with its existing set of acoustic percussion. Digital Library of the sample Peart two traditional and exotic sounds has grown over the years with his music.
In April 2006, Neil has taken delivery of its third series DW, configured as in all R30, in a tobacco sunburst finish on the outside ply curly maple, with Chrome hardware. He refers to this series that the kit "West Coast", as he uses when in Los Angeles. In addition to its use on recent recordings with Vertical Horizon, he played when composing pieces for the last Rush album studio, Snakes & Arrows. It features a custom 23 "bass drum, all other sizes are same as the R30 kit.

Solos
Peart is often regarded as one of the best practitioners of the drum solo concert. He is known for vast, complex drum solos containing odd time signatures, complex arrangements (Sometimes total separation between upper and lower limbs of models: for example, an ostinato dubbed "The Waltz"), and percussion exotic. These solos have been featured on every live album released by the group. On the first live album (Everybody! Stage & Exit ... Stage Left), the solo Battery has been included as part of a song. On all the following albums online, the drum solo was included on a separate track. His most recent Instructional DVD, Anatomy of a drum solo, is a thorough review of how he constructs a solo. He uses his solo from 2004 R30 tour 30th anniversary as a basis for discussion, as well as other lectures and demonstrations on how to build a drum solo that is musical instead of indulgence.
Lyrics
Peart is the lead singer of Rush. Literature has always heavily influenced his writings and, as such, it has addressed a wide range of topics. In his debut with Rush, a large part of his opera production was influenced by fantasy, science fiction, mythology and philosophy. However, almost all would on real or personal problems such as life on the road and parts of his adolescence.
The song "2112" focuses on the struggle of an individual against the collectivist forces of a totalitarian state. This has become advanced output group, but also criticized unexpected, mainly because of the credit of inspiration Peart gave to Ayn Rand in the booklet. "There was a remarkable response, in particular English press, which is the late sixties, when collectivism was still in style, especially among journalists, "Peart said." They were calling us "fascists Junior" and "love of Hitler." It was a total shock to me. "
Tired of accusations of fascism or ideological loyalty to Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, Peart has sought to remind listeners of his eclecticism and independence in the interviews. He did not try to argue and defend views Rand: "For starters, the extent of my influence from the writings of Ayn Rand should not be overestimated. I am a disciple of anyone. "
In 1980, the album Permanent Waves saw Peart stop using fantasy literature and ancient mythology in his writing. 1981's Moving Pictures has shown that Peart was always interested in heroic, mythological, but now place them firmly in a modern and reality-based context. The song "Limelight" from the same album is an autobiographical account of reserves Peart about his own popularity and the pressures of celebrity. In Permanent Waves from, most of the lyrics Peart began to turn around social, emotional, and humanitarian issues, usually from an objective perspective and employing the use of metaphor and representation symbolic.
1984's Grace Under Pressure strings all subjects discouraged as the Holocaust ("Red Sector A") and death of friends close ("Afterimage"). Starting in 1987 with Hold Your Fire and Presto including 1989, 1991's Roll the Bones, and 1993 counterparts, Peart continue to explore various lyrical motifs, even addressing the theme of love and relationships ("Open Secrets", "Ghost of a Chance," Speed Of Love, "" Cold Fire "), a subject he deliberately avoided in the past because of what he perceived as a stereotype inherent hackneyed. However, 2002 has Contrails steam was strongly devoted to talking about personal matters Peart, combined with other humanitarian issues such as the 9 / 11 terrorist attacks ("peaceable kingdom"). The group deals latest album Snakes & Arrows first and vehemently Peart opinions regarding faith and religion.
Opinions Peart's words have always been divided. While fans have hailed as reflected and intelligent, some critics have called the overwrought and bombastic. For example, in 2007, he was voted # 2 on Blender magazine's list of "worst lyricists in rock.
political perspective
Peart has never publicly identified with one party or political organization in Canada or the United States. Despite this, his political and philosophical views have often been analyzed through his work with Rush and other sources. Peart is often classified as an objectivist and an admirer of Ayn Rand. Most of this is based on his work with Rush in the 1970s, especially the song "Anthem" and album 2112, it specifically credited "the genius of Ayn Rand. However, in an interview in 1994, while supporting the individual" is essential for justice and freedom, "Peart specifically distanced itself from a strictly objectivist line, saying it was" disciple of anyone. "
While Peart is often regarded as a "conservative" and "Republican" rock star, he, in 2005, describes himself as a "left libertarian", and is often cited as a libertarian celebrity. He also speaks of Fox News Channel diversion to refute the conservatives and British charges that he and Rush are a "band of rock right" in his book Roadshow: Landscape with Drums: a concert tour by motorcycle. In 2008 Peart describes himself as a "quasi-libertarian" and stated that the motorcycle helmet laws, which are often countered by defenders of freedom " are not at all a problem for me. "
Books
Peart has written non-fiction books four, the last released in September 2006. His growth as author before the book was published by several years (not counting his work as principal lyricist for Rush), through private letters short stories and sent to a small circle of friends and family. Peart first book, entitled The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa, has was written in 1996 on a bicycling tour of one month through Cameroon in November 1988. The book details Peart travel through towns and villages with four companions. The original had a limited circulation, but after the critical and commercial success of the second book Peart, Masked Rider has been reissued and remains in print from 2006.
After losing his wife and only [the daughter] time, Peart wrote Ghost Rider: Travel on the road to recovery. Peart and the rest of the band have always been able to keep his private life at a distance from his public image in Rush. However, Ghost Rider is a first person narrative of Peart on the road on a motorcycle BMW R1100GS, in an effort to put his life together as he embarked on an extensive trip to America North.
Deciding to take a road trip by car this time, Peart reflects on his life, career, family and music. This topic is covered in the third book Peart Traveling Music: The Soundtrack Of My Life and Times. It follows Peart still carrying emotional scars, but building a new life. Like his two previous books, it is a first person narrative.
