This is Why Neil Peart is a Drumming God

No single musician has been more influential on me than Neil Peart. Not only did I learn to play the drums, but I once spent every last dollar in reconstructing his kit for myself back in the day he endorses Tama Imperialstars.

Watch and marvel. (Thanks to Larry for the link.)
