An Absolute Must For Any Drummer or Drum Fan
This is the most comprehensive, fascinating, entertaining, rockin' video on drum solos I have encountered. If you are a Rush/Neil Peart fan that is a bonus as well. It's a jewel! Not only do you get to see the "making" of Neil Peart's current drum set-up, you get Neil Peart himself narrating the entire 2 disk set. The camera angles are superb, letting a curious drummer see what the heck he's doing to make that killer sound. Of course the DW drums and the Paragon line of Sabian cymbals help! The best part is that Neil Peart lets you into his heart and soul and stays focused on the anatomy (and physiology) of a drum solo. It will not disappoint! kw
