Customer Reviews of Neil Peart - A Work in Progress
Great concept... wrong album I found it a great idea to break down Neil Peart's drumming on a whole Rush album, but honestly I can't agree with the album choice for this project: "Test for echo"? Come on, give me a break. I mean, I guess "Moving pictures" would have made a much proper choice, just to name one. <
>So, if you're looking for a DVD to actually show you *how* Neil does what HE does on some of the finest Rush tracks, let me suggest you "Rush: Legendary Drum Licks", pefrormed by Jamie Borden (Hal Leonard Corporation). <
>There you'll find an extremely accurate breakdown of Spirit of radio, Freewill, YYZ, Red barchetta, Limelight, Tom Sawyer, New world man, and Subdivisions. <
>Besides, the DVD in question is a whole lot cheaper.
For the drummer
Unless you are a drummer, amature or pro, you are not going to really enjoy this disk. However, if you are, you are in for a real treat. Neil delves into how he goes about working on a new Rush album. He especially examins the insperation for the various rythms that he uses and their sources. He also passes on a lot of tips on playing and how a drummer should approach writting orginal music. This disk is both entertaining and informative for the any drummer regardless of experiance.

>Enjoy!
uh... WOW. :)
The only mild issue I have with this DVD is that Neil can be a bit dry when explaining things. That said, I've been listening to Rush since about '76, and Neil is one of the three primary influences on my playing (Bruford and Weckl are the others). I was amused to see a review stating this playing was on the level of a "second or third year student," or something to that effect. Clearly, this is an example of *dramatic* wishful thinking. Peart's playing is unique; there just ain't no one quite like him.

>There's a good form to the structure of the DVD, which seems to mirror the process in how Rush write their material. There are no weak elements to this production, except as I noted above (my opinion, folks). What I haven't seen mentioned are comments on the accompanying text. Each song has the percussion part written out for you to follow as well, and if you're familiar enough with Neil's playing, it's pretty fun to try and follow the music while watching the video. :)

>DEFINITELY a worthwhile investment for any musician, and a must-have for every drummer, no matter what style you play. The techniques Neil has developed in his 30-year tenure with the band are nothing short of phenomenal. His set is comfortable and appropriate to the music, and his style is the epitome of confident. Nice to see he can still inspire after a career longer than many of his fans have been alive...
