DVD Reviews of Neil Peart - A Work in Progress
DVD Review: All hail the Professor
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a fan of Neil since I started playing drums sometime in the mid-90's when I was in 3rd grade. I have the VHS version of this video, but it has still been watched at least five times a year since I got this for Christmas when it first came out. A man of great talent and humor, and almost makes the things he does look easy. Fan or not, this is a must buy for all drummers. One thing I recently noticed while watching this the most recent time was at the photo montage at the end of the second video was a picture that kind of depressed me; it appeared to be a shot of Neil from behind sitting in a stadium setting with who I could only assume to be his late wife and daughter...very sadDVD Review: Unmasking tricks

DVD Review: Awsome Video
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great DVD. Very interesting and the production is top notch. Listening to a master musician discuss his craft is a rare treat and an absolute inspiration. If you were to learn the songs he plays on the DVD your drumming will improve greatly. Thanks for a great DVD to all involved. I am having a great time learning from it. DVD Review: It's Just OK Unless You're a NP Die Hard Fan
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're a die hard Neil Peart fan, you'll probably love this DVD and those guys are probably the ones giving this 5 stars.
I happen to like Neil Peart and think he's a great drummer which is why I did buy this, but I was disappointed.
First, the filming is very basic. Just Neil and some guy with a Sony camcorder I think. Most of time he's at the drums, but sometimes he's walking around what appears to be a cabin in the woods and it's just not visually inspiring.
Second, Neil tends to be very talkative and runs on and on about various topics. I got bored listening to him. He does have some very interesting commentary especially about how he got started drumming and got hooked up with Rush etc... but it's still too much talking.
Third, you have to know some "formal" stuff about drumming to really get the most out it. He talks about time keeping and drum basics like paradiddles etc... but for an untrained drummer or non-drummer, you will be lost. It seems that he assumes the viewer is a classically trained drummer. That is, if you were looking for drum techniques and not just interested in his commentary.
Fourth, as with many of the reviews, I don't think this record was the best choice. I don't consider this one to be Rush at their best and none of the songs are really relevant, just my opinion of course!
And last, I was disappointed there wasn't any Rush footage either in the studio or live. He did talk about how he, Alex and Geddy created songs and recorded, but we didn't see any of that. I know this was a Neil Peart project and not a Rush project, but it still would have been great to see the dynamics of the group.
All it all, he really isn't teaching you as much as he's showing you what he did to create the songs.
DVD Review: Air drummers need not reply......
Summary: 5 Stars
I was anxiously awaiting this DVD as I knew it would appeal to my technical drumming soul. And boy did it ever. Caveat: I would suggest that if you are a Neal Peart fan and not a drummer, and I know that there are a helluva a lot of you out there, that you may want to stick to reading his outstanding books, as this might be a bit much. If you are a Neal fan and a drummer, well rock the f*** on, you'll love this.
The level of technical content, teaching, preaching, whatever you would want to call it (for me, it's preaching, and hey, Hallelujah) in this DVD is very high and might not appeal to the casual air drumming Neal fan. I'm just saying that it might be a bit tedious for you. That said, (even though you should buy it for a once or twice through diversion), it's worth the bits between the outstanding slow motion drumming where we find Mr. Peart, as always, affable, honest, focused, and with a fervor to share with everyone what he gets out of life, and drumming, with us all.
I loved it and if you are a drummer with hours (years) under your belt behind the kit, you will too.
