The Neil Peart Spirit of Drumming Scholarship has announced that it is now accepting applications for its 2026 program. The scholarship offers young drummers around the world a meaningful opportunity to advance their musical journey while honoring the legacy of legendary Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
Presented by Modern Drummer, Neil’s wife and daughter Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, the scholarship was created to celebrate Neil Peart’s extraordinary musicianship, creativity, integrity, discipline, and lifelong commitment to artistic growth. They, along with David Frangioni Modern Drummer CEO, Rob Silverman MD director of Worldwide Education, and Dennis Wolfe of UMe will be reviewing the applications.
The selected scholarship recipient will receive a comprehensive prize package designed to support their development as a drummer. The offerings include one full year of private drum instruction with internationally recognized Modern Drummer director of worldwide education, drummer/percussionist, Rob Silverman; A Modern Drummer All Access subscription; Rush special edition box set releases from Universal Music Enterprises; Official Modern Drummer merchandise and educational materials; and recognition through Modern Drummer platforms and community initiatives.
“The Neil Peart Spirit of Drumming Scholarship is more than an award,” said Frangioni. “It is an investment in the next generation of drummers who carry forward the passion, curiosity, discipline, and creative spirit that Neil represented throughout his life and career.”
Drummers ages 14 to 21 worldwide are eligible for entry, provided that they are not currently professional musicians and do not hold sponsorships or contracts that conflict with the scholarship’s educational mission.
Applicants must submit a two-minute video performance showcasing their drumming skills, creativity, and musicality, along with a short personal essay explaining how Peart’s playing, philosophy, and legacy have influenced them and what receiving the scholarship would mean to their musical journey.

like objectively they were worse in every way — battery died in a day, screens were tiny, you could barely text — but theres something about that little *snap* when you close em that just hits different. every time i see someone pull out a razr or some other ancient brick i get weirdly nostalgic even though i know id hate actually using one again its prob just rose-tinted glasses but idk man, modern phones are so sleek and functional and yet they feel so... soulless? like theyre missing some dumb charm. maybe its because flip phones were the last era before we all became glued to screens 24/7 now its like the phone owns you instead of the other way around. or maybe im just old and cranky.

like seriously, im sitting here listening to this mix and out of nowhere theres a fucking seagull or some owl hoots and i cant tell if its supposed to be atmospheric or just weird. is it because nature is chill or because someone thought ‘yeah this drop needs more seagulls’? and dont get me wrong, i get it for like ambient tracks or stuff thats supposed to feel outdoorsy but when its dropped in the middle of a banger it just feels out of place. unless its a jungle themed track or something, which tbh would be kinda cool. anyway im probably overthinking this but now im tempted to make a playlist of just tracks with random animal noises to see if it actually works or if its just distracting. anyone else notice this or am i just hearing things?

like seriously, i swear the things shrink every generation. i lost one of mine last week and spent an hour tearing apart my apartment only to find it stuck to the bottom of my sock (dont ask). its not even like they sound better for being tiny, they just get more annoying to handle. and dont get me started on the 'tap to control' nonsense — half the time im accidentally pausing my music when i try to adjust them. bigger isnt always better but maybe we could stop at 'still fits in my hand without vanishing into another dimension'? anyone else think this is getting ridiculous or am i just cursed with butterfingers?

like seriously, every other folk or country song is about a train. is it just cause they rhyme with pain and rain or is there something deeper going on? i get that they used to be a big part of life but its 2026... unless youre a railfan (no offense if you are) trains arent exactly the centerpiece of modern existence im not saying theyre bad songs, some of em are classics, but its weird how the imagery sticks around so much. maybe its nostalgia for simpler times or something. idk, now im just picturing someone sitting on a porch writing about the 5:15 to nowhere...

okay so i was blasting this one track earlier today (cant even remember the name now, typical) and it had this super urgent beat?? like you could practically see yourself sprinting for a bus or skidding into a meeting 5 mins late, all frazzled and out of breath ... anyway it got me thinking, are there other songs that just give off that "im so behind on life" vibe?? bonus points if theyre electric or synth-heavy cuz those always feel extra chaotic lmao
also side note: did you know theres a pulsar called the black widow that basically emits radio waves at such a precise rhythm it could hypothetically keep time better than an atomic clock??? (...i know this is unrelated but i had to share, its so cool)
anyway back to the point — what songs make you feel like youre in a movie montage of frantic coffee spilling and missed train platforms?!

like i dont mean twist endings or the ones that leave you shook. just endings that felt so right for the story they told, no loose ends, no forced drama, just...satisfying. like you sit back after and go "yeah, thats how it was supposed to end." for me its **the farewell** that last shot of awkwafina on the street? perfect. didnt need anything more. ive seen too many movies lately where the last 10 minutes feel like they were written by someone who got bored or ran out of ideas. ruins the whole thing. anyway im tryna find more movies like that. ones where the ending hits just as hard as the rest of it, maybe even harder any recs? i dont care about the genre, just something where the ending feels intentional, you know? not like they slapped it on at the last second.
