Review: Prehaps one of the best drummers in the world today and all you have to do to learn some of his licks is pop in the DVD. I've played drums for 14 years now and I would attribute probably 70% of my licks and style to this man so as you can see I had to have this when it came out. This DVD not only contains the songs from the Test For Echo album and how to play it but how Neil came to be the drummer he is today. He talks about the mechanics behind the new style that he has implamented into his playing that he learned from Freddy Gruber and explanes why they work for him and how they could work for you. Neil also disects the songs and goes over the hard fills. The only draw back to this video is that he dose not play the fills slower him self but slows down the film. This is not anything to be concerned about though. The DVD also contains a preformance only feature that lets you view his playing the whole Test For Echo album. So if you are a drummer buy this.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: This double set video is a very informative. Neil plays with songs from Rush's "Test for Echo" and explains in detail what he is doing. He breaks down parts from songs, some clips slowed down. Other than a little too much explaining, this video is excellent! Neil is one of the best!

Summary: Good DVD to learn from
Review: This is a good DVD to learn from if you are a drummer. For the first time, Rush fans get an inside look into the techniques behind one of the great rock drummers of our time. It will inspire you as a musician.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is a must have for drummers or fans. This DVD is like getting a private lesson from the professor. Neil starts with his style & how he changed after 30 years with the fine tutelage of Professor Freddy Gruber. Neil changed his style from match to traditional grip & found he had more control & fluidity. Neil plays each song then breaks it down by part & gives explanation of technique. There is also slow motion to help with the understanding of the parts. The accompanying book with the DVD lays out the key parts of the song.

Summary: Bravo Neil!!!
Review: This is another great example of Neil Peart. This DVD is an insight as to a great playing style and technique. Anyone who has anything off color to say about this DVD is just unkind and really did not watch the essence of this DVD. If you wish to watch Neil playing Drum solos he does one on every live album as well as on the DVD live from Rio. He also performs a drum solo at every live show. I feel that he has grown through the years and his playing style has advanced to another level. As with any progress things change. Neil shows maturity, control, insight as well as technique and most importantly whats on his mind. This is a side of Neil I have wanted to see for a long time. I feel that he has inspired many young people to pick up the sticks as well as some older players to expand. I say that unless you can do a better job of playing or writing the key is to sit and listen to what one of the best all time drummers has to say. I believe that Neil has once again outdone himself with an outstanding DVD masterpiece with modesty and humility. I applaud you Neil.

Summary: A Work In Progress
Review: This video is EVERYTHING you're hoping it will be. Neil describes in minute detail the philosophy underlying his style of playing- he communicates verbally with the same rapid fire clarity and sincerity that is so evident in his playing. This is a priceless instructional video not just for drummers, but for any professional engaged in perfecting his/her own work in progress. Inspiring, affirming, exhilirating.. spectacular sequences of him in the studio- just what you'd imagine, but clearer, steadier- the camera is as curious as you are. This video is the medium you've been waiting for to communicate to others why you've loved Rush for so long, and why you admired Neil as a musician, philosopher, and Zen master.

Summary: Percussion Bliss
Review: This video turned out to be better than I could have imagined. Neil Peart's discussion of percussion techniques, including his transition from match style to traditional style drumming, is awe inspiring. This video is a must have for any drummer or fan of Neil Peart.

Summary: Superb, but 60 bucks for this DVD is highway robbery!
Review: Watching the masterful Peart on skins is akin to seeing 'god', but the price is very steep! This DVD is priced for the Beverly Hills set, not the average, hard working wage earner!

Summary: Surprise !
Review: What a nice surprise to see this released on dvd. While I've only seen this on VHS, it stands to reason that the added maneuverability and enhanced fidelity/video quality of dvd could only make it better. I'm not a "Neil Disciple", just a long time drummer who found this a very entertaining, informative and sometimes awe-inspiring production. Can't wait for the disc !
