Got this comment on a discussion about the Rush song Tom Sawyer ( Here)
Apperently, it’s not just us and Aussies who argue way off topic 
Actually Neil is not the best drummer in the world. It’s another nameless soul who will probably remain that way. The world, consequently, will never know this truth because of it. But many are confident that on Judgement Day, the Day of Atonement, Christ Himself will resolve this issure between Moon, Bonham and Peart. If you read Apocalypse v. 3 or 4 or 5 (around there), he says something about a thundering (obviously he’s referring to a drum solo) followed by eyes looking up toward the heavens (stage riser) and lights, fog, robes, crying, gnashing teeth (an audience in a mosh pit…)
I believe at this point, the Angel Gabriel will call the three men in question to a gigantic Tama, with cast-iron rims etc. double bass. I would say mother-of-pearl, or perhaps the orange set Bonham played, I haven’t deciphered the Biblical details of this holy drum competition. But I do know that, NO ONE ELSE will be judged “Until such time as the Lord Himself determines whether Peart really was the best drummer of all time.” I believe he was, though Phil Collins’ early stuff was quite tasty. It’s my belief that most of the dead have fallen irrevocably into camps. This will be an awful reckoning.

By the way, Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist of Rush. He looks a bit like Tom Hanks, looks very stiff while playing and is a major influence of many modern drummers, specially those on the jazz and progressive side of rock, including Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. In fact, Portnoy sounds very much like Peart and has many of the similiar ‘addons’ (bongos, shakers etc etc) in his drumkit that Peart had.
About 10 years ago Peart lost his only child and wife within a year of each other.
from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart)
…he had told his bandmates at Selena’s funeral, “consider me retired.” Peart took a hiatus to mourn and reflect, during which time he traveled extensively throughout North America on his BMW motorcycle, covering 88,000 km (55,000 miles). At some point in his journey, Peart decided to return to the band. Peart wrote Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road as a chronicle of his geographical and emotional journey.
