Originally conceived as a companion to the 2011 3-disc dvd set of the same name, this book combines detailed musical transcriptions, historical writing, instructional text, and a beautiful collection of photographs to create a book that every drummer and every fan of Neil and Rush will want to add to their collection.



Written, transcribed, and researched by well-known drummer, author, and educator Joe Bergamini (who also co-produced and appeared in the dvd), and overseen and edited by Neil Peart himself, 'Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance' is the most complete, accurate, and definitive work on Neil Peart's career as a drummer.
