 The making of Neil Peart's R30 kit...
Hey,
I was just browsing the DW site and came across this vid:

Sorry if it's a repost.
Craig.

It's $30k.
You'd have to be a SERIOUS Neil Peart fan to drop that kind of money on a kit.

huh, I'd never seen that video before - very cool! Thanks for posting
the price was a little steep at first, esp considering it's only half his kit really...
but I've heard the GCs came off the $30 asking price recently.
Not sure if they have many left- maybe that prompted them to lower the price.

Very interesting - that was pretty much what I saw when I was there - not Neil's kit being built, but the assembly process.

The GC set is a scaled down kit if you start counting drums and it also leaves out the electionics he uses for 30K I could build exact replica and have about 10K left over. DW and GC just really screw people sometimes. It really just makes me sick.

i'm guessing nothing... lucky b*** - i'm sure dw drums wouldn't mind giving him the kit if it enhances publicity for their name!
well i guess the guy deserves a kit like that though.
woooooooooooohoooooooo!!!

Not sure how much he paid for them, but the full kit cost around $70,000 from what Lorne (his drum tech) was telling me when I met the guy.
