Neil Peart's drumming dvd is full of interviews with the man himself, which don't bear repetitive watching - they would have been better as a seperate disc, or at the end, instead of intersperced between each piece of music.
There my criticism ends.
I have been drumming most of my life, and having seen waht mr peart can do on this dvd and recently at wembley arena (where his drum solo stole the show) I have to say I find both Neil and his drumming inspirational. This man has suffered terrible loss in his life, and forged a new existance for himself during which he lost and then rediscovered his playing, and the result of taking drumming lessons (after 30 years of playing) is a more relaxed, expressive, musical, sensitive and powerful style.
I played better after watching this dvd, not because I was copying Peart's moves (I wish I could), but because it made me look at my own playing a different light.
You may find the dialogue boring, but whether you are into rock, jazz or swing, the drumming is something else, and a must see for any drummer.

This is an insightful lesson on drumming from one of the greatest drummers ever. This is not a lesson for beginners, nor is it a lesson for know-alls. I don't play drums yet still took a lot away from this to apply to my own musical explorations.
This DVD bears repeated viewings. If you don't want to listen to what the man says then fine - move onto the drumming parts. Even the cheapest DVD players have useful little buttons that allow you to do this easily.
Neil Peart has lead an inspirational life both inside and outside of music. He has struggled through unimaginable hardship and pain with honesty, and deserves compassion, respect and admiration. On a purely financial level, a DVD release such as this will cost Neil far more than it would ever make for him. His only motivation is to reach out to you with his music: he is truly speaking from his heart.
You can only learn if you can listen. This man is a great teacher.
All musicians are lucky that he chooses to share his deep musical knowledge with us.
It is galling indeed that people who bang a few things in their spare time before getting back to their day job could talk of discouraging such selfless charitable behaviour.
It is easy to be dismissive and judgemental. As Neil himself says: "Take the high road."

MR Peart is the one of the best drummers in history, his technique, skill and co-ordination are second to none and his beats and rhythms are anything but monotonos, this is a must buy for any aspiring drummer.
