On the early live albums (''[[All the World's a Stage (album)|All the World's a Stage]]'' and ''[[Exit... Stage Left]]''), the drum solo was included as part of a song. On all subsequent live albums through ''[[Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland]]'', the drum solo has been included as a separate track. The ''[[Clockwork Angels Tour (album)|Clockwork Angels Tour]]'' album includes three short solos instead of a single long one: two interludes played during other songs and one standalone. Similarly, the ''[[R40 Live]]'' album includes two short solos performed as interludes.

A studio recording of Peart's solo "Pieces of Eight" was released as a [[flexi disc]] exclusive in the May 1987 issue of ''[[Modern Drummer]]'' magazine.<ref name=piecesofeight/> Peart's instructional DVD ''Anatomy of a Drum Solo'' (2005) is an in-depth examination of how he constructs a solo that is musical rather than indulgent, using his solo from the 2004 R30 30th anniversary tour as an example.<ref name="Popoff"/>
