5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best music instruction videos... for any instrument
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
This video is so good, this is a second copy replacing my lost first copy. It is a drum video and is focused on that, but, shockingly, Neil's insights into music in general make this a worth while buy for any guitarist. Any musician really.

Also any Rush fan that loves Test for Echo needs this, complete breakdown and dissection of that album.

And if you are a drummer? Stop reading this review and buy it!

The Professor may be gone, but he kindly left a very nice curriculum for us to continue study on our own. Man, it's been 8 months or so, and writing about Neil in the past tense still hurts...

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2002
Verified Purchase
I was captivated and completely enthralled when I first bought and watched this masterpiece. It is well over 2 and 1/2 hours of pure amazement and wonder. Neil as I expected is an excellent teacher and does a wonderful job explaining each song in beautiful detail and example. Every song from Test For Echo is played by Neil and afterwards he explains the major parts of the song and explains the what and whys of why he did what he was trying to accomplish through his drum parts. Neil plays the drums to backing tracks sans drums and he is just such a master at the art of drumming. The majority of the video takes place inside a studio, but he is shown out in nature, rowing a boat, walking through snow in snowshoes and is even shown on a back porch demonstrating how he warms up on a practice pad. Nature is used to explain his new techinique by speaking in terms of roundness. His drum study with drum guru Fred Gruber is gone over in great detail and Neil talks of how a new approach of drumming was taken on. A definite must have!

Learned a lot of great techniques from this video. One of the great masters of the art of percussion. This will excel you if you are an already descent drummer. If you are a fan of the musical group Rush or just a drummer who wishes to polish your technique and broaden you abilities then this is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neil Peart - Genius
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013

I have been a fan of Rush and by inclusion each member of the band. After watching these videos I really gained a new found respect for this man who has turned percussion into an art form unlike other drummers before him. I know that that is high praise indeed but after watching two videos of his I know now a little bit more about the music of Rush and the mind of a master of his craft. If you are a true drummer, watch this video. He as much to teach, to all of us, musician and fan alike.

It's Neil Pert what else to say. He goes through many aspects of musical drumming. Composition, physical, and mind set. A must have for any drummer at any skill level.

It is very interesting video, mainly for Rush fans, despite it is for a no so famous Test for Echo Album. It loses a star due to the absense of portuguese or even spanish captions.

This DVD is amazing. Neil is a true master at his craft. Not just some guy that used to have long hair that bangs on the skins but a true master and composer. I don't know if you could find anyone out there that is as devoted to his craft as Neil is to his....I've always been a fan since I was a kid and I will be until the day I die.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to any drummer's riff learning arsenal.

Neil Peart - A Work in Progress
Great instructional video! True, it is for a slightly older work, but many of the riffs are still in use, and are broken down to make them easier to understand, practice, and play along. The historical significance of some of the riffs are discussed which adds to the overall value of the experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely had to get my hands on this after Neil's passing!!
Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought the original VHS back in the day but after Neil's untimely passing, I panicked when I couldn't find it (still can't) so was glad to finally get a copy on DVD. :)
Any true Rush fan will want to add this to their collection. More importantly, any drummer influenced by Neil's playing will want this. For starters, it was his very first instructional video which I'm sure he'd been pestered for years to do and he discusses how A Work In Progress came to fruition.
Secondly, it reflects a pivotal time in his playing where he changed his technique as well as his drum set up which he pretty much carried on with for years to come.
More importantly, it's a reflection in time and a small glimpse into Neil's genius, captured and referenced for years to come for any aspiring drummers, musicians, and fans alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, considered, interesting - and that's just the talking parts!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2006

This is an insightful lesson on drumming from one of the greatest drummers ever. This is not a lesson for beginners, nor is it a lesson for know-alls. I don't play drums yet still took a lot away from this to apply to my own musical explorations.

This DVD bears repeated viewings. If you don't want to listen to what the man says then fine - move onto the drumming parts. Even the cheapest DVD players have useful little buttons that allow you to do this easily.

Neil Peart has lead an inspirational life both inside and outside of music. He has struggled through unimaginable hardship and pain with honesty, and deserves compassion, respect and admiration. On a purely financial level, a DVD release such as this will cost Neil far more than it would ever make for him. His only motivation is to reach out to you with his music: he is truly speaking from his heart.

You can only learn if you can listen. This man is a great teacher.

All musicians are lucky that he chooses to share his deep musical knowledge with us.

It is galling indeed that people who bang a few things in their spare time before getting back to their day job could talk of discouraging such selfless charitable behaviour.

It is easy to be dismissive and judgemental. As Neil himself says: "Take the high road."

この商品に限らず米盤音楽DVD全般に言えることですが、英語字幕すらないので、ニールの早口の英語を聞き取るにはかなりの英語リスニング力が必要です。アルバム"Test for Echo"におけるドラミングを隠すことなく１曲づつ丁寧に解説してくれます。ドラムパターンなどを書いたポケットサイズの教科書がついているので、iPhoneとかスマホに取り込めば、通勤などでそれを片手に見ることができます。曲を断片的に取り上げるだけではなく、ドラムを抜いたマイナスワンに、ニールがこのビデオのために曲まるごと叩いてくれるので、Rushファンとしても違うバージョンの"Test for Echo"を楽しめます。この点がとてもうれしい。
