Neil Peart: A Work In Progress (2002) Rating: Starring: Neil Peart, Rush Director: Paul Siegel, Rob Wallis Category: Music Studio: Warner Bros. Publications Subtitles: Length: 220 mins     Featuring the Music for Test For Echo On this DVD, Neil Peart documents the "work in progress" of recording Rush's album, Test For Echo, as well as the work in progress of Neil himself and his endless apprenticeship to the art of drumming. He uses the songs from Test For Echo to demonstrate concepts such as constructing a drum part, selecting rhythmic approaches, technique, odd times, the drummer's role in a band, drum set orchestration, and creative timekeeping. 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 finesse gained from two years of devotion to study and practice. Following each performance, Neil presents a specific analysis of the drum's parts in relation to other elements in the song, as well as breaking down and demonstrating key sections, fills, and solos. Booklets are included.
