Neil Peart, though an amazing drummer, is still humble about his abilities to this day. He will not turn down learning new techniques from anyone. He's been known the take advice from various alt rock and nu metal drummer from the mid 90's and incorporate that into his style. In that way, he has toned down his approach in more recent albums...but how could you not hear his skill in their late 70's/earlier 80's heyday? He is freaking amazing and one of a handful of drummers in the world that can play one time signature with his hands and another with his feet.
