Anatomy of a Drum Solo 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 which 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; a previously unreleased solo from Rush"s 1994 Counterparts Tour; 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.
