Anatomy of a Drum Solo is a two-disc footage of Rush drummer Neil Peart, presenting live and in-studio performances discussing his approach to soloing. Taking Der Trommler, a drum solo recorded in September 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany as a framework, Peart presents the concepts and technique behind each segment of this nine-minute drum solo, which is a feature of each Rush live performance.

Anatomy of a Drum Solo also features:

Two explorations - completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over 30 minutes long.
