Neil Peart: Taking Center Stage Instructional DVD Coming in October

Neil Peart is set to release a new instructional drumming DVD in October that features his performances during the 2010-11 Time Machine Tour. The DVD, which is titled Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance, will be released on October 14th, 2011:

Filmed in various locations over the course of a year, Neil Peart takes you on a behind-the-scenes look at Rush's 2010-11 Time Machine tour. This includes rare and exclusive footage of Neil's personal pre-tour rehearsals and backstage events at a Rush concert (including a visit to the soundcheck, and an unprecedented backstage interview as Neil warms up for the show). Neil also presents a detailed look at every single song in the tour's set list. Each song features analysis and demonstrations by Neil, which are coupled with a detailed PDF eBook containing transcription of his parts. At the end of each song discussion, the viewer is transported onstage to a Rush concert to see the actual live performance of the song from the perspective of the drum cameras only.

Clocking in at 6 hours and 40 minutes, this is one DVD no Rush fan should be without. No word yet if it will also be offered up in HD on Blu-Ray.
