We'd first heard about the Drum Channel this past March in relation to the upcoming Buddy Rich Memorial Concert. It was to be the first major event streamed live on the new channel. Well, the Drum Channel is now up and running including an introductory video featuring Neil Peart (in the intro and outro). Check it out at this link. A little about the Drum Channel from the website:

DrumChannel is for everyone who loves music. Whether you want to learn, listen, or just hang out with your friends, the drumming community invites you to join us. We’ve combined new technologies to bring you the most exciting collaborative experience possible. Once signed up, you get your own customizable profile where you can post pictures, music, videos, news, and share them with the entire community. Cool, right? Well, that’s only the beginning. What really makes DrumChannel truly unique is all the original content. We’ve got band concerts, talk shows, interviews, drum jams, master classes, technique classes, and much more. There will be new programs and live streaming shows every week. At DrumChannel, artists share their work with each other and you. It’s your website. Tell us who you want to see and we will do our best to make it happen – chances are we know the drummer in the band.

Thanks to Agent Rush.v2 for the heads up.
