Clearly you don’t know much about him. “Happy Drumming” was his signature phrase when signing autographs. He responded to fan mail for years and didn’t mind signing things at all. He was uncomfortable meeting people who would shower him with adoration. But he did not hate fans and he signed plenty of things.

WAY over

Says a guy who has none of his own playing posted. Less just worrying about others and more focus on yourself 😉

@@DigitalMan_2112 wanna see what really good drummer can do with set smaller than yours? ;)

@@Martee234 I have seen many - it doesn’t take much to find them. I’m not an active player or professional. I’m a hobbyist. Why are you worried about my playing or equipment? You should probably focus on yourself.

I don’t want to get in trouble as they will not make any more of these for anyone other than DW I had to get special permission from the CEO of their company. I’ve had multiple people make the request so I can’t give you any specific details (the design was mine. I have the schematics, and everything that was drawn out ) but it is the same case manufacturer that made the evolution cases. Calzone is the company. That’s the most I can say as I don’t want to create a problem for them after they did me a favor.

If you are ever in Dallas hit me up and you can. Several people have stopped by to play it and take video and photos. You can see them on my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/neilpeartdrums/?ref=share_group_link

Have you looked at the rest of the channel?

I don’t. It’s a pain - I wipe it down every couple of weeks. The dust was the main reason I built the cases for the snares

I wish - 16 years ago the acoustic side only cost $30k www.musicradar.com/reviews/drums/dw-neil-peart-r30-drum-kit-78587 One sold last year for $120k (again acoustic drums only). This is the only full replica with electronic rear kit and rotating riser.

@@DigitalMan_2112 Yea, I was just blowing smoke. This kit even looks crazy expensive. I hope you're enjoying it and getting your money's worth out of it. It's almost like a museum exhibit.

Absolutely- come play them!

Totally agree! I PLAY THEM ALL!!

lol - that was funny!

Married with 3 kids. I had to remodel the entire house for her after all this. Those drums cost more than the price of buying them!

Know both Louie and John Good. The only reason I have some of these drums (Louie and John have signed many of them). Have toured the factory as well it’s amazing!

@@DigitalMan_2112 OH YA IM PRETTY SURE YOU DO AND HAVE SEVERAL TIMES BROTHER 🤘🤘I WAS JUST TELLING YOUR VIEWERS .. MAN YOU HAVE MORE THAN NEIL SAVED PROBABLY 🤣. SO AWESOME 🤘🤘🤘

Neil never played a Ludwig snare. And this video is about the DW collection.

He did play a supraphonic on the song T4E. You can see it on the Work In Progress video. Also a couple of Yamaha snares on VT. There, that should keep you busy for a while! 😂 Beautiful collection. I almost got one of those R30 replicas. The first one came in with the shell cracked. Returned to the factory and a second one sent, same thing but even worse! It looked like someone had stepped on it sideways. And then they didn't have any more of them. Kinda sucked.

@@brmperc 1st I’m not collecting every snare he ever played. I’m collecting the DW’s so no need for me to hunt the Roger’s he had before old faithful down etc. Which R30 are you referring to? The starman? The R30 replica’s were only sold with the 30 kits or with the evolution cases. The starman is the most common of all the drums and you can pick them up for about $3,500 on eBay

Sure. This was more about the idea that he had never played a Ludwig snare. Yes, it was the Starman drum. I'm ok not spending $3500 for a drum I'd never want to take out on a gig. I did recently get myself a slingerland to fix up and play, and that was always my favorite snare sound. Well, that and the cocobolo piccolo on Presto

@@brmperc got it. I’m talking he never played a Ludwig snare as part of his rig. I’m sure Neil has played virtually every brand out there before choosing his set up.
