Rush fans and drum fans are in for a treat next month when Neil Peart releases his new instructional DVD, "Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime Of Live Performance."

Due October 14, the set features more than 6 hours of Rush video, and is being billed as the most in-depth insight into Neil's body of work ever documented.

The trailer has just been released…see video below.

Here’s the product description from producers Hudson Music:

"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. 6 hours, 40 minutes."
