DESCRIPTION:
Audrey Groeschel said Christmas present. This was a Christmas gift for a huge Rush fan who also happens to be a drummer. His first words were that he knew exactly what songs the sheet music was for and couldnt wait to try them out himselfeven though he says he can never come close to what Neil can do. Big thumbs up from the recipient.. Amazing Book! C. Fox If you are a fan of Neil and/or Rush, get it!! Very extensive discussion, photos and diagrams. The period ads for percussion equipment are cool too. The drum transcriptions are amazingly detailed. Get the DVD too!. Nice layout Well designed book Could have used even more drum set parts for songs but still great to finally find some transcriptions unavailable until now. A must own for Peart fans everywhere and a fine companion piece to the DVD.
Each of these chapters contains extensive text discussing the musical approach of the band at the time, the construction of the drum parts, and Neil's set up. At the heart of the book are note-for-note musical transcriptions of 17 songs that are included on the Taking Center Stage DVD. Tying everything together is a beautiful collection of dozens of photographs taken over the past 30 years, including exclusive shots from the archives of Fin Costello and Andrew McNauhgtan, which show Neil and his drums in vivid detail. Originally conceived as a companion to the groundbreaking 2011 3-disc DVD set of the same name, this book combi
