DrumChannel.com is offering a free lesson from Neil Peart's Frontiers of Composition and Articulation.

I've watched the entire class when it was first released in June, 2009, and it's a great instructional video. Important note: It appears when purchasing a Master Class, you "subscribe" to the class for 12 months (you don't download the content).
