Neil Peart Drumming AwardsUpdated 04/23/2011
Modern Drummer
Each year, Modern Drummer invites readers to participate in a poll rating drummers in different styles of music, as well as other categories. Neil Peart has consistently placed at the top of these polls for the past 20 years. This is one of the reasons Neil is so well regarded in the drumming community. Perhaps his greatest achievement is that he won Best Recorded Performance for every album from Moving Pictures to Different Stages (basically, whenever Rush released a new album). To give you some perspective, the only other drummers to be awarded Best Recorded Performance more than once are Mike Portnoy (5 times) and Dave Weckl (2 times).
Best Recorded Performance:
1981: Moving Pictures
1982: Exit... Stage Left
1983: Signals
1985: Grace Under Pressure
1986: Power Windows
1988: Hold Your Fire
1989: A Show of Hands
1990: Presto
1992: Roll The Bones
1993: Counterparts
1997: Test for Echo
1999: Different Stages
2005: R30
2007: Snakes & Arrows
Drumming Categories:
- Best Educational Video: Anatomy of a Drum Solo: 2005
- Modern Drummer Hall of Fame: 1983
- Best Rock Drummer: 1980,1981,1982,1983,1984,1985, 2005, 2007 (see Honor Roll below)

Opinions are like azzholes......
Opinions are like azzholes.....
This list is kind of a joke because it left off the two greatest drummers in the history of music....drummers that ALL of these drummers looked up to, worshipped and copied as best as they could...These are the two REAL greatest drummers....because they were first..they were pioneers of the music everyone listens today.
Comment -
Peart and Carey are in my top 3. The other is Tony Royster, Jr. I don't really get into most of the bands he plays with, but the guy is phenomenal.
