“neil ellwood peart”
/ˈpɪərt/
OC

(‘hamilton’ / ‘ontario’ / ‘canada’)
.
(died ‘7 january 2020’)
(‘santa monica’ / ‘california’)
‘age 67’
‘glioblastoma’
(highly deadly form of ‘brain cancer’)
(drummer for ‘rush’)
(although he certainly won’t be writing any lyrics for me)
(canadian-american musician + author, best known as the ‘drummer’ + ‘primary lyricist’ for the rock band ‘rush’)
(‘peart’ has received numerous awards for his ‘musical performances’, including an induction into the modern drummer hall of fame in ‘1983’, making him the youngest person ever so honored)
(he is known for his ‘technical proficiency’ + ‘stamina’)
(‘peart’ grew up in ‘port dalhousie’ (/ ‘ontario’)
(now part of ‘saint catharines’)
(during adolescence, he floated between ‘regional bands’ in pursuit of a career as a ‘full-time drummer’)
(after a discouraging stint in ‘england’ to concentrate on his music, ‘peart’ returned home, where he joined a local toronto band (’rush’) in ‘summer 1974’)
(early in his career, peart’s performance style was deeply rooted in ‘hard rock’)
(he drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as ‘keith moon’ + ‘john bonham’, players who were at the forefront of the ‘british hard rock scene’)
(as time passed, he began to emulate ‘jazz’ + ‘big band’ musicians ‘gene krupa’ + ‘buddy rich’)
(in 1994, ‘peart’ became a ‘friend’ + ‘pupil’ of jazz instructor ‘freddie gruber’)
(it was during this time that ‘peart’ decided to revamp his ‘playing style’ by incorporating ‘jazz’ + ‘swing’ components)
(‘gruber’ was also responsible for introducing him to the products of ‘drum workshop’, the company whose products ‘peart’ currently endorses)
(in addition to being a musician, ‘peart’ has published several ‘memoirs’ about his ‘travels’)
(‘peart’ is also rush’s primary lyricist)
(in writing lyrics for ‘rush’, ‘peart’ addresses ‘universal themes’ + ‘diverse subject matter’ including (‘science fiction’ / ‘fantasy’ / ‘philosophy’), as well as (‘secular’ / ‘humanitarian’ / ‘libertarian’) themes)
(all 5 of his books are ‘travel-based non-fiction’, though they diverge into his life and these subjects as well)
(‘peart’ lives in ‘santa monica’ (/ ‘california’), with his wife (photographer ‘carrie nuttall’) and daughter (‘olivia louise’))
(he also has a home in the ‘laurentian mountains’ of ‘quebec’ (/ ‘canada’), and spends time in ‘toronto’ for ‘recording purposes’)
.
(on ‘7 december 2015’, ‘peart’ announced his retirement from ‘music’ in an interview with ‘drumhead magazine’, though bandmate ‘geddy lee’ insisted ‘peart’ was quoted out of context, and suggested peart was “simply taking a break”)
