Neil Peart - The Hockey Theme

Neil Peart takes Drum Channel on a behind the scenes tour of the making of The Hockey Theme.

When TSN (The Sports Network) decided to recreate the hockey theme they wanted to use iconic Canadians to help in the revisal. The Hockey theme is recognized as Canada's second national anthem so when they decided to recreate it, they wanted to use the best. The first person that came to mind was Rush drummer, Neil Peart. Over 2 years ago, they tried to get the theme recreated with the entire Rush band but the timing just wasn't right. Years later, Neil was still interested in the idea and TSN was willing to do whatever it took. A custom drum kit was made by DW Drums with all of the different hockey team logos on it for the revision of the song.
