The music world is still reeling from the passing of legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart, who lost his battle with brain cancer last week. Tributes have been pouring in left and right, now from legendary drummer Richard Christy. You might know Christy from bands like Charred Walls Of The Damned, Death, Control Denied, and Iced Earth, or even his role on The Howard Stern Show.
Christy took to Twitter to post his cover of Peart's iconic performance on Rush's 1981 track "Tom Sawyer," and fittingly does an amazing job.
