Transcript: "Neil Peart: Learning To Swing Has Everything To Do With Learning To Rock" - Drums Etc., September/October 1997

I've just transcribed "Learning To Swing Has Everything To Do With Learning To Rock" by Neil Peart, from the September/October 1997 issue of Canada's Drums Etc. magazine. Neil appeared on the cover, and tells of how he came to be "coached" by Freddie Gruber and the subsequent change in his technique which included the switch from matched to traditional grip.  Neil concludes this interview given just before the start of his personal tragedies by stating his immediate plans were to start the followup to Test For Echo in early 1998, as well as writing a book about the Test for Echo tour called "Landscape With Drums" (sound familiar?). - Thanks to Monica Davidson for providing the original article!
