Maybe it's me, but I feel the purple neon takes away from all the craftsmanship that went into this kit. I would love to see it under standard light or possibly an amber shade.
I'm a huge Rush/Neil fan BUT, I don't think that the DW's compare to Ludwigs or Neil's old Tamas in character. Neil's black R30 kit sounded terrible--the higher toms sounded like toy tinny drums.
@ProgDrummerJG actually its not a knockoff. its from a CD that came with a booklet of drum tabs to rush songs. it is a play-along cd, and includes the tracks with and without drums
too much of that dudes head and not enough of the set,and as far as steam punk goes they missed it by along shot,every drum has the same design...it needs to look like it was pulled together from a junk yard,oh well Neil still is The Man!
do yourself a favor and enlarge and pause @ 3:22. i sat for 10 min. air drumming on neils kit. took a pic of it w/ my phone now its my wallpaper. a very sweet kit indeed. looks to pretty to pound.
Anyone know the size of the cymbal at 2:12? It's Neil's "workhorse" cymbal that's mounted to his kick. It looks like a 16", but it may be a 14". Just curious. Please let me know if you do. Thanks.
If you fellow drummers are interested, there's one kit I know of that is equally as quality as Neil's. Carl Palmer's (2 ton in weight!) Stainless Steel kit. It has (HAND ETCHED with a dentist's drill) hunting scenes on it, hahaa! 8 diff. engineering companies were involved in making it (he was sponsored by British Steel).t.

@flybywire09 According to what Neil said (in one of the tour booklets - Power Windows, I think), when Tama found out Neil was planning to switch to Ludwigs, they offered to make Neil a set that sounded exactly like Ludwigs. Sort of pointless, right?
If they gave out Oscars for "Best Drum Kit", DW, Roland, Sabian, Pro-Mark & Neil should get an award. I am a huge fan of RUSH, but even if I wasn't, I'd have to say this is by far and large the biggest "Master Piece" of a drum kit I've ever seen. Damn thing needs to go in a museum after the tour's over. It's a serious work of art!
@megaDorkZ Terry's kit is HUGE, but not near as cool as this kit. Look at the detailing in the hardware, cymbals, toms, even the riser. That said, Terry's kit is pretty neat.
Neil's kit retails for 5.6 million.. lol

Drawing metal out of the cymbals by cleaning them and that caused them to break?
That's like saying a building would collapse if you remove the paint!
Maybe he cleans the cymbals with sandpaper or an angle grinder.

What a great job being Neils drum tech. I would give my left arm to hang with these guys for a day on tour.
But then again if I did I couldn`t play my drums lolol Rush is such a true band. Rock on!

Every detail, from the etchings on the cymbals and "gauges" on the cymbal tilters go along with the time-machine theme. Awesome.
I wonder how pissed Tama was when Peart left?! haha
