http://www.hudsonmusic.com/html_general/intheworks.html#np" target=top> Anatomy Of A Drum Solo: The Hudson Website has details regarding Neil Peart's new instructional DVD, Anatomy Of A Drum Solo. "Anatomy of a Drum Solo presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of Neil 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 that 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. Also included are two 'explorations' - completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over thirty-minutes long; a never-before-released solo recorded in Hamburg, Germany in September, 2004 ("Ich Bin Ein Hamburger"); 'O Baterista', Neil's Grammy 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, a photo gallery and more." - Oct. 13, 2005

Rush fanatatics may be especially excited to hear that the special features will include home footage of J.R. Flood, circa 1970, as well as audio-only bonus marimba tracks, "Momo’s Dance Party" and "Pieces of Eight" (visit the "Solo Projects" page for more information on these latter two tracks. The DVD is scheduled for release Dec. 13th from Hudson music.

  • "In mid-July, I will start the filming of a new instructional DVD, this one to focus on the subject of drum soloing. The working title is Anatomy of a Drum Solo. It will be based around an intricately-filmed solo from R30, plus the Grammy-losing "O Baterista!" from Rush in Rio, and will include a wide variety of other "ghosts of solos past." All that, and me talking about it all. (Maybe that’s a better title, "Ellwood Explains It All.")" - Neil Peart, NeilPeart.com - July 19, 2005
