Neil Peart

The members of Rush have experienced a lot of crazy things over the past 40 years, but fleeing the stage during the middle of a show has never been one of them. Not until recently, anyway.

Musicians know that the Rush catalog is loaded with Neil Peart’s distinct, intricate drum work. Aspiring percussionists can get an inside look at the master’s approach via his new instructional DVD, which is scheduled for an Oct. 14 release.

What do you get when you take members of Rush, Tool, Primus and The Police, and put them in a studio together? You get a tune called Count Drumula, the result of a jam session with Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland.

I'm a sucker for drum news of any kind.   When the kind is from Rush and Police I get pretty excited.  The coolest part of the interview posted here from Gibson is the source.  Rush fans will find a ton of links and video at musicradar...

Even if you don't want the guitar, you should get excited about the tour.  It just hit America. Click Here.

A drummer does a whole lot to keep a band together.  Not just the music, but the people too.  If you're a RUSH fan, you'll find out alot about the band in this new book from one of the greatest drummers of all.  Click here for more.
