UPDATE - 11/3@4:22PM: The full article/interview was taken down from the Cygnus-X1.net by request of Modern Drummer. You can read the complete article by picking up a copy of the December, 2011 issue of Modern Drummer, on newsstands now.

Last month we learned that Neil Peart would be the feature of a cover story in the December, 2011 issue of Modern Drummer magazine. The issue hit newsstands earlier this week and is now available online at Cygnus-X1.net. Neil touches on a number of subjects including how he prepares for a tour, how he deals with the rigors of touring, his approach to composing drum parts and the inspiration behind his recently-released Taking Center Stage instructional video. You can read the entire interview at this link and check out the Modern Drummer review of Taking Center Stage here.
