Peart plays in Every style there is from Jazz to Rock. When he was at his best- he took lessons from Freddie Gruber-considered the best drum teacher of all time by many- and completely reinvented his stlye. He has changed since then as well.
Peart was Drummer of the Year so many times they had to retire his name after more than a decade to give others a shot- and that is from votes of Other drummers not just fans. And was Drummer of the year- last year as well for Drum magazine I believe it was- so he is Still relevant.
When Carey is considered the Best in the world for close to 4 decades- you might have a point- he is amazing- and I know Neil has praised him as well.
When Neil has been asked- he says Buddy or Moon. I think he eclipsed them in the 70's though.
When carey has 40 years of amazing live performaces, 30 plus records, 3 instructional videos that have set the standard and influenced every drummer that has picked up the sticks in since the 70's- you might have more of a case to pick him as the best.
