As much as I admire, respect and love Neil Peart's drumming....and I do....I will also admit I've never been a fan of his or any drum solo spot....leak, smoke, another beer; hopefully back to seat before next song.
I enjoy his drumming in the context of the songs....even as a teen when I never imagined playing drums I would be listening to ATWAS and air drumming. The power and ferocity. Great stuff man.

Interestingly, on the last tour Neil ditched the longer solo and did three shorter pieces. I much preferred that format, myself. I haven't really been a fan of drum solos more than a few bars long since I was in junior high school, lol.
