Hear original audio from Rush drummer Neil Peart's 2015 cover story interview in latest Rolling Stone Music Now podcast
The interview, conducted in in Peart’s Los Angeles office includes Peart’s thoughts on the history of prog-rock, his explanation for why drumming is “the hardest job” in a rock band, and his constant efforts at improving his playing, despite his status as one of the most-admired drummers in the world.
“I was thinking about a Buddy Rich quote,” Peart says. “He was asked, ‘What do you think about being the greatest drummer in the world? He said, ‘Ya know what, dummy’ — the way Buddy would say it — ‘you don’t achieve greatness. If you work hard at it, you achieve a certain amount of goodness and then you just try to preserve that.’ And he said, ‘I’ve never been happy with anything I’ve done but I keep trying.’ Bingo.
