Allaboutjazz.com is reporting:
This year's Drummies have been very interesting for a variety of reasons. Recording voting occurred as 6500 drummers casted 100,000 votes in the 40 categories that make up The Drummies.
RUSH's Neil Peart, for a fourth straight time, has won Drummer Of The Year. It was a very tight race with Peart winning over Travis Barker by just six votes.
Why Neil? Industry veteran, Ed Stenger, who runs Rush fan website, Rushisaband.com, shed some stroke perspective as well.
“It's no surprise to me that Neil Peart has won Drummer Of The Year 3 years running. The man has become synonymous with drumming over his 40+ year career. Every drummer knows who he is and wishes they were half as skilled.“
