Anatomy of a Drum Solo
Format: DVD (colour, special edition, NTSC)
Publisher: Hudson Music / Rounder Records
Released: December, 2005
Run Time: 200 min Hudson Music presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of Neil
discussing in detail his approach to soloing. Using a solo recorded in
September, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany as a framework, Neil talks about each
segment of this nine-minute tour de force that is a feature of each Rush
performance. He describes the inspiration and the conceptual thinking behind
each part of the solo and discusses, and often demonstrates, the technique
necessary for playing that segment.
Also included are two “explorations” - completely improvised workouts at the
drums, each over thirty-minutes long; a never-before-released solo recorded in
Hamburg, Germany in September, 2004 ("Ich Bin Ein Hamburger"); “O Baterista”,
Neil's Grammy® Award-nominated solo (previously released on the Rush in
Rio DVD); two full Rush performances from Frankfurt ’04, all shot from the
perspective of the drum cameras; interviews with Lorne Wheaton, Neil’s drum
tech, and Paul Northfield, Rush co-producer and engineer; a full-color booklet,
a photo gallery and more.
