Neil Peart - Anatomy of a Drum Solo

Anatomy of a Drum Solo presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart discussing, in detail, his approach to soloing. Using a solo recorded in September, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany as a framework, Neil talks about each segment of this nine-minute tour de force which is a feature of each Rush performance. He describes the inspiration and the conceptual thinking behind each part of the solo and discusses, and often demonstrates, the technique necessary for playing that segment. Anatomy of a Drum Solo also features: Two ''explorations'' - completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over thirty-minutes long; a never-before-released solo recorded in Hamburg, Germany in 2004; a previously unreleased solo from Rush's 1994 Counterparts Tour; Neil's Grammyr Award-nominated solo (previously released on the Rush in Rio DVD); two full Rush performances from Frankfurt '04, all shot from the perspective of the drum cameras; interviews with Lorne Wheaton, Neil's drum tech, and Paul Northfield, Rush co-producer and engineer; a full-color booklet, and a photo gallery. 2 Discs.
