Modern Drummer Magazine’s “Neil Peart Drum Solo Contest”
Release Date: February 01, 1988
In 1987, I entered Modern Drummer Magazine’s very first drum solo contest, which was judged by RUSH’s Neil Peart.
A few months later, I got a letter in the mail…..from Neil Peart. I was one of the winners, he said. He liked my solo. He was sending a truck to my apartment with “Chromey,” the famed Slingerland drum kit that he used on the first RUSH albums he played on.
The solo was published in Modern Drummer Magazine on a flexi disc in the February 1988 issue.
