Drummers Who Compose | Part 2 Of 4

This show dates back from June 29, 2012, it was part of LA Music Academy's 3rd Drummer Reality Camp. The loss of Neil Peart is devastating on two levels. First, of course, to the entire drumming community.

Before every tour Neil would block out a Drum Channel studio for a full month to practice before Rush rehearsals even started. One big lesson I definitely learned from Neil is always be prepared. While he was at DC we would have lunch every day in my office and he would always want to know what other drummers might be coming in to visit or record.
