Making of The Hockey Theme with Neil Peart video available
Posted at 10:25PM | comments (8)

Neil Peart's percussive-centric version of The Hockey Theme debuted back in January during a Philadelphia Flyers at Toronto Maple Leafs game on The Sports Network (TSN). The video of the song can be seen on YouTube and runs about 1-minute long. It features Neil pounding away on his custom NHL kit along with hockey video highlights interspersed throughout. There's also a version of the video with just Neil playing. The song is also available for purchase on iTunes at this link and will be available for Rock Band next week. Neil Peart wrote extensively regarding his experience recording the song in his most recent news update at NeilPeart.net. In the update he mentioned that the Drum Channel would be releasing a Making of video at some point in the near future. As promised, you can now check out the 9-minute Making of The Hockey Theme with Neil Peart video at the Drum Channel website at this link. Here's a YouTube preview video:

Thanks to rosmakloma for the heads up.

I like that video and Neil's version of the hockey theme (what I used to call the hockey night in Canada theme song)...
The kid at the end, with the Boston Bruins logo painted on ...is hilarious!
