The online event, hosted by Modern Drummer magazine, will premiere this Saturday, September 12 via the streaming platform LiveXLive.com.

A ticket to watch costs $12.99, and you can also purchase virtual meet-and-greets with a selection of the performers, including Smith.

Peart, often regarded as one of the greatest drummers ever, died this past January at age 67.
