That's getting close to Terry Bozzio proportions...
Does Peart really need all of that stuff? |

The drums to the rear are Electronic, also three at the front, so overall the acoustic kit isnt THAT big...

That's a bad graphical representation of the colors, I believe they're only showing the set-up here, not color, if you read the description it says: "All maple (Aztec Red Lacquer) specialty kit with Gold Leaf Snakes & Arrows graphic and black nickel hardware." |

Correct! There were some pictures on a weblog somewhere about two months ago, it's brilliant red with Snakes & Arrows in the appropriate places. Think they may even be on Neil's own site, but I don't have time to check right now. ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

Beatiful kit, well, all of his kits are amazing really. It's a shame that none of the songs from Snakes & Arrows demand more than a regular kit though. Maybe Monkey Business..... If we are lucky, they will play songs from all eras, and I'd love to see Neil going crazy on that kit with some Vapor Trails stuff. -------------

Obviously they do - that is if you are Neil Peart and can play them all with great proficiency. |

| If you watch the RUSH IN RIO and R30 dvd's, Neil's drum kit is exactly the same. He has a single kick drum, four concert drums, two floor toms, one gong drum, a KAT percussion synthesizer on his left and an electronic kit behind him. His shell skins will be different, but it's pretty much the sane drumset. |

 Actually, Peart makes good use of it all. -------------

I sure do miss that old kit of his (His Tama kit from around Permanent Waves through Signals). This one is still pretty cool, though.
Also, for those who wonder if he needs/uses all of that stuff, this isn't Alex Van Halen here. Peart utilizes his entire kit. Always has. E -------------

Well, Bozzio's kit is so big I can see it from here, and it does seem he needs it to play that wonderful stuff he usually plays... |

If anyone has ever seen Neil Peart playing live, you would see that he uses every bit of it. I miss the big gong that he used to have. |

not nearly as cool as the gold plated ones last time around. I was hoping to see those beauties live again. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Oh dear - Neil's not aging too well, is he...? 
I'm sure the current kit is considerably smaller than the one he used to have, when there was a full double bass acoustic setup, with full Simmons kit (that dates it!) behind, plus miscellaneous percussion. As far as whther he needs it - of course not - so long as you don't mind him being unable to duplicate the studio work on stage. Or would you prefer he always stuck to his original kit:  -------------

| For those interested, on Neil's website http://www.neilpeart.net/ - http://www.neilpeart.net/ , a remastered version of just the drum portion of The Main Monkey Business has been posted. Give it a listen. |

| Just because you use all the parts of the kit doesn't mean you actually need all of those parts. |

What in the heck is your beef with Neil's drum kit? So what if he has a lot of parts to it. He likes it that way and he uses it. It is your blasted opinion that he doesn't need it all. Obviously he thinks he needs it. I agree with him. |
