Im not sure this is the best place for this topic but i am looking for a new band to listen to. My favorite band is rush. I am looking for a band that is very much like them that would be cool for me to listen to. I just need some cool insight on some new stuff to pick up because im getting bored with a lot of the stuff that is cycling through itunes right now (except rush). Who is a drummer that is worthy enough to fill in for someone that i can listen to right along with neil peart (take into account that i dont consider the amount of notes the factor that makes drummers good. I also like good groove, feel, and creativity). any suggestions would be much welcomed. Thanks for any insight. I hope to get turned on to some good bands in this process.

CD Baby: SPRAWL: Sprawl

thats where you can listen to some music of the first band i roadied for and recived a reward(they played in my first metal show EVER)...It shows that blast beets are not allways the ansore. kinda sounds like the rolling stones drummer playing metal, because of the steady beat. not being the more out of controll drummers i have heard
