Life and Career
Biography
Peart was born on the family farm in Hagersville, on the outskirts of Hamilton. The first child of four years, his brother Danny and sisters Judy and Nancy were born after the family moved to St. Catharines Peart two. At that time his father became director of parts for equipment Dalziel, a supplier of agricultural machinery. In 1956 the family moved to Port Dalhousie area of the city. Peart attended Gracefield School, and describes his childhood as happy and said he had a family atmosphere. In early adolescence, he became interested in music and acquired a transistor radio, which he would use to tune pop music stations broadcasting from Toronto, Hamilton and Welland, Ontario, and Buffalo, United States USA.
His first exposure to musical training took the form of piano lessons, which he later said in his video A pedagogical work in progress has not had much impact on him. He had a penchant for drumming on various objects around the house carrying a pair of chopsticks, so for her 13th birthday, his parents bought him a pair of drumsticks, a carpet of practice and lessons, with the promise if it sticks to the skin for a year they get her a kit.
His parents bought him a drum kit for his 14th birthday and he began taking lessons from Don George at the Conservatory of Music of the peninsula. His stage debut took place in the competition of the school Christmas at St. Johns Anglican Church Hall in Port Dalhousie. Her next appearance was in Lakeport High School with his first band, the eternal triangle. This performance contained an original number entitled "LSD Forever". At this show he performed his first solo flight.
Peart got a job in Lakeside Park, a fairground on the shores of Lake Ontario, which later inspired a song by the same name on the Rush album Caress of Steel. He worked on the game Bubble Ball Toss, but his tendency to take it easy when business was slack led to his dismissal. In his late teens, Peart had played in local bands such as Mumblin Sumpthin, the majority, and JR Flood. These bands practiced in gyms basements and garages and played church halls, high schools and roller skating in the cities of southern Ontario such as Mitchell, Seaforth and Elmira. They also played in the north of Timmins Ontario. Tuesday night was filled with jam sessions at the Niagara Theatre Centre.
Career before joining Rush
In eighteen years, after struggling to achieve success as a drummer in Canada, Peart went to London hoping to pursue his career as a professional musician. Despite playing in many bands and pick up a session of casual work, he was forced to support himself by selling trinkets to tourists in a souvenir shop called The Great Frog on Carnaby Street.
In London, he encountered the writings of novelist Ayn Rand and Objectivist. Rand's writings became a significant influence on philosophical Peart, as he found many of his treatises to individualism and Objectivism inspiring. References to Rand's philosophy lies in his lyrics, including "Anthem" from 1975's Fly By Night "and" 2112 "2112 in 1976.
After eighteen months of deadlock, music concerts, and disappointed by his lack of progress in the music business, Peart put his aspiration to become a professional musician on hold and return to Canada. Back in St. Catharines, he worked for his father selling tractor parts at Dalziel Equipment.
Join Rush
After his return to Canada, Peart was recruited to play drums for the St. Catharines band Hush, who played on the tour of South Bar of Ontario. Shortly after, a mutual acquaintance convinced Peart to audition for the Toronto-based group Rush, which needed a replacement for his original drummer John Rutsey. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson oversaw the hearing. His future band mates describe his arrival that day that bit of humor, as he arrived.
