Another critical question, this for the drummers.
Neil Peart said Tom Sawyer was the hardest song for him to play. I've listened to Tom Sawyer a jillion times and I never hear the typical Neil P. jewels that are in most of Rush's music. As a non-drummer, the jewels seem the most complex to me. For example, the Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is said to be extremely difficult to copy correctly because he had the uncanny ability to put just the right amount of "lag" in his drumming. I don't hear lag in Tom Sawyer, but in "Time stands still," "New world man," "Limelight" (packed full of NP jewels) there is perfect lag throughout. So, why would he say Tom Sawyer was so difficult.

Who needs a drummer? You can get four songs a gallon & haul your equipment to the gig.
Not an example of great drumming, but certainly an illustration of the difference a guy who can swing a stick can make ....
Advance to about 50 seconds in. Back story. Lenny Kravitz is eating dinner when he hears a local youth choir playing "Fly Away." He decides to go have some fun. It's only worth about a 15 second listen, but fun to hear how the whole group tightens up with a drummer that can keep a beat.

And arguably the best that's ever played. (My hero when I was learning to play back in the '70's.)
