text: who is a better drummer, tommy lee (motley crue) or neal pert (rush)?   neil peart is is up there with the best drummers of all time. tommy lee isn't fit to clean his sticks. i can't believe you had to ask! you should be ashamed of yourself and as a pennance, you will be forced to listen to motley crue's mince until you realise the error of your ways. only once you have repented, will you be allowed to listen to rush.
