Rush's Neil Peart Gives Video Tour Of His Drum Set
. Well, in a new video posted by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Music, the rarely interviewed Peart discussed his kit. Yes, there are a lot of pieces in his kit. But, no, he said, he doesn't really need all of them. "I've played on rental sets," he said, mentioning that he occasionally goes to Drum Workshop, "and I'll tell them just to set up any old thing. I like to play on unfamiliar drum sets. I could make a record on any old drum set." That said, he doesn't make a record, or play Rush concerts, on "any old drum set." In his tour of his kit, he discussed his cymbals in detail (made by Sabian)-"it's quite a medieval craft, the making of cymbals"-and noted that his cymbals were made specifically for him. He also explained how he uses electronic drums, acquiescing the point that in the early '80s, electronic drums "had a pretty lame sound." He revealed that back then, his electronic drums sampled his own voice, singing the sounds that he wanted each drum to make. Read more and watch the video here.
