TD, Peart has been a very influential drummer in Rock over the past 15 yrs., having a lot of friends who are percussion instructors I see and hear young players who have been influenced and inspired by Peart. I have yet to hear any of these percussionists put down Peart, in fact most of them like the way Peart plays. Paradiddl that sound like a single stroke roll, ya drummer, I know several percussionists that can pull that one off. Being at a university that has an extremely strong percussion department, there are a ton of *bitchin* players around. Rando
