4571. Rush (Neil Peart) - Der Trommler (Drum Solo)

From: R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour; Year: 2005; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock

Dang, still kind of in a state of shock over hearing about Neil Peart passing away; and at such a young age too. Apparently an almost 4 year long battle with brain cancer took him back on Tuesday. Not only was he an amazing and one of the greatest drummers of all time, but was an incredible lyricist for Rush, penning the majority of the band's lyrics. He most certainly will be missed; rest in peace.
After a lot of thought on the song I should pick or revisit today I just decided on choosing one of his epic drum solos; this one's from the 30th anniversary tour and translated from German to English Der Trommler means, (you probably guessed it),: The Drummer.

Hear Der Trommler on YouTube.
