Neil Peart will be interviewed in Drumhead magazine, Issue 4, available at the end of July 2007. I recently picked up a copy of this magazine (Issue 3), and was impressed with the quality and depth of the interviews. Looks like this will be more of the same, with 14 pages of interviews with Neil. Here's the official blurb from Drumhead (thanks to Michael at NeilPeartDrumsticks for the head's up!):
Promising to be Drumhead's biggest issue to date, Issue 4 with Rush's Neil Peart debuting his new drumkit is currently being printed. Look for copies in Barnes & Noble, Borders, Guitar Center, Sam Ash and independent retailers at the end of July. Issue 4 contains an in-depth 14 page interview with Neil Peart, including pages of photos detailing the intricacies of his new drum kit.
Here are a few things that have come in recently that you might be interested in:
The Snakes & Arrows MVI DVD released this week. This DVD includes a 5.1 mix of Snakes & Arrows, and a 45-minute documentary about the making of this album.
For you collectors out there, Lewis has created a NEPSnakes & Arrows replica kit -- Lego style! You can see it here.
Michael at NeilPeartDrumsticks.com has posted pics of Neil's new drumsticks for the Snakes & Arrows tour. (Oh, and he also worked with Pro-Mark to design the version of these sticks Neil is using.)
As the tour progresses, Ed over at Rushisaband is tracking each show (along with readers of his site). This is a great place to find out the latest info.
If you can't wait to buy a tour book, John at Cygnus-X1.net has added the tour book to his site. You can check it out here.
The contest at NeilPeartDrumsticks.com will end on Friday, June 15. So if you haven't entered, now's the time! Here's the official info from Michael who runs the site:
