Rush: Legendary Licks for Drums Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay firstly, there is obviously only one master - Neil himself.

But let's now put that aside for a sec. For someone to come along and take Neil's work, break it down step by step, make a DVD out of it AND do the work justice - well, I was expecting disappointment. However, this is a very handy DVD indeed. Jamie has done a great job in showing you piece by piece how Neil drums on several classic RUSH tracks.

I won't catalogue the influence Neil has had on my drumming style, suffice to say I have seen him many times live - the Show Of Hands concert I was at in 1988, I saw him twice on the Roll The Bones tour and recently twice on the UK stage of the 30th anniversary tour, I have read his books and followed Neil's playing since the mid-1980s when I began drumming. I have studied his lyrical work, his writing, and drum technique for years and was in a RUSH tribute band for a while.

So you can see where I am coming from in viewing this DVD regarding expectations of standards. But Jamie does Neil's work proud. The first notable thing is "WOW" Jamie plays the songs on a basic kit - well, basic compared to Neil's! - 3 rack toms, 1 bass with double pedals, two floor toms and a snare - plus a spare snare on the left which doubles as an effect snare for New World Man and also a higher tom when the snare is taken off.

I found myself many times saying "AHH that's how he does it" - a case in point being the fast section of Freewill.

All I'll say is IF you are a drummer and if you are a Peart fan, then you will enjoy this DVD. I have, very much. In fact, as with 'Work In Progress' and Neil's 'Burning For Buddy' videos, and his performance on the 'Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship' videos, I'm finding I am playing it over and over
