Neil Peart: A Work in Progress

6.8

On this video, Neil Peart documents the "work in progress" of recording Rush's "Test for Echo" album, as well as the work in progress of Neil himself and his endless apprenticeship to the art of drumming. A complete studio performance of each song is captured by four cameras as Neil lays down the fiery, creative drumming for which he is known-but with new finesse gained from two years of devotion to study and practice. Following each performance, Neil presetlts a specific analysis of the drum part's relation to other elements in the song, as well as breaking down and demonstrating key sections, fills, and solos.
