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 that 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 ìexplorationsî -- completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over thirty-minutes long; a never-before-released solo recorded in Hamburg, Germany in September, 2004 ("Ich Bin Ein Hamburger"); ìO Bateristaî, Neil's Grammy(r) Award-nominated solo (previously released on the Rush in Rio DVD); two full Rush performances from Frankfurt í04, all shot from the perspective of the drum cameras; interviews with Lorne Wheaton, Neilís drum tech, and Paul Northfield, Rush co-producer and engineer; a full- color booklet, a photo gallery and more. ïDISC ONE ïAnatomy of a Drum Solo ïDer Trommlerî (recorded September, 2004, Frankfurt) ïNeilís analysis and discussion of ìDer Trommlerî and of his approach to soloing ïSidebar 1-Exclusive Hamburg solo ("Ich Bin Ein Hamburger") ïSidebar 2- ìExploration #1î ïDISC TWO ïBonus Features, including: îExploration #2î ïìO Bateristaî (solo from Rush in Rio) ïInterview with Paul Northfield, Rush co-producer and engineer, and Lorne Wheaton, Neilís drum tech ïLorne Wheaton setting up and talking about Neilís drumkit ïTwo Rush performances from the perspective of the drum cameras ïA Previously Unreleased Solo from Rushís 1994 Counterparts Tour ïSpecial Features ïAlternate Edits-During parts of Neilís analysis of ìDer Trommler,î the viewer can choose between two different edits, one with related playing examples in full screen and one with Neil in view while the playing example is shown in a separate inset.
