I'll give credit where it's due...he's one of the best, technically, to ever play. But doing big rolls and making sure you hit every cymbal along the way while simultaneously beating the heck out of the foot bass is simply pretentious.
Just my opinion.

Well, I think it's pretty hard to evolve when you start out as good as Peart did - at least not without completely changing your style.
I think Peart is more than technicality - I think he also has a very good talent for composing drum lines and keeping it interesting - have you heard O Baterista?
But I see what you mean - he is very technical, and his style hasn't radically changed.
