Besides that, Neil Peart released his new book 'Far and Near: On Days Like These' last month. 'Far and Near' brings together reflections from three years of his life as he celebrates seasons, landscapes, and characters, travels roads and trails, receives honors, climbs mountains, composes and performs music.

CBC Music asked Neil Peart to go through his drum kit. Check out the interactive graphic below as Peart breaks down each section, or watch it all in one video below the image.

"I like to play on unfamiliar drum sets actually. They're tuned in a way I wouldn't tune them and it makes me play in way a little differently. I'm wide open to that. I could make a record on any old drum set and it's remarkable how it's always going to be me."
