RUSH Drummer NEIL PEART: 'It's All Going My Way'

October 19, 2005

RUSH drummer Neil Peart has posted the following message on his official web site:

"My instructional video on drum soloing, 'Anatomy of a Drum Solo', is almost a reality. Or, it will be October 14th, our deadline to hand in the editing and artwork. Or it will be November 1st, the projected release date.

"Too many elements of it are still in the 'changeable' stage for me to say too much more about it, but I can say that I'm very excited with how it's coming together. Paul Siegel and Rob Wallis, from Hudson Music, have been great collaborators once again, as they were with 'A Work in Progress', and I've also had the support and expertise of my other longtime collaborators, engineer Paul Northfield, photographer Andrew MacNaughtan, and art designer Hugh Syme.

"So it's all going 'my way,' and I'm glad about that.

"The band's 'R30' concert DVD is also approaching its release date — in fact, the same deadline of October 14th, the same release date of November 1st, and the same art director. So we've been keeping Hugh busy. And it's not just dreaming up a nice front cover that takes so much time and effort; there are all the little details involved in a complete package: slipcover front, spine, and back, front cover, spine, back cover, undertray, lettering, booklet, disc label, booklet, credits, photos — it's a big job, especially doing two at once.

"My book about the R30 Tour, 'Roadshow: A Concert Tour By Motorcycle' (shortened by one subtitle this week — leaving out 'Landscape With Drums'),is all ready for its final revision, just as soon as I get all this video stuff off my desk. I have collected a pile of input from my editors Paul McCarthy and brother Danny, plus a select few readers, and for now, it's kind of nice to let it sit and “cool off' until I'm ready to attack it single-mindedly."
