- On May 25, 2011, Rhythm ventured to London to interview The Professor, Rush's Neil Peart, for a forthcoming issue of the magazine.
In addition to the interview we also headed to the stage of the O2 Arena for an exclusive tour of Neil's phenomenal Time Machine kit with his long-time tech Lorne Wheaton. Join us on stage for a AAA look at one of the greatest drum set-ups on the planet!
Our thanks to Lorne for the tour and to Chris from Sabian for helping us set this up.
He didn't die, he used his DW Time Machine Drum kit to fix 2112. Godspeed Brother.
My heart just aches for Neil’s passing. Even though RUSH were done and Neil had ‘officially’ retired from drumming, it stings my soul knowing he’s not out there living well.
I so agree...
I wonder, maybe his diagnosis was the real reason he, and rush, retired?
@@kentrapp1331 It is, Alex said Neil was sick 3 1/2 years before his passing. Neil could not play any longer. Very sad.
Sarah, the human brain, in all its incredible functions of life & conscious thought, operates on constant electrical impulses. Electricity is energy. Energy can not be destroyed. Energy exists forever because it has no boundaries of time nor constrictive parameters of such. Therefore, the energy which fueled the electricity for the brain and life does not cease at the moment of death ~~~
it exists still, and always and truly evermore will, as the energy of The Universe of all time that has ever existed or will ever exist and can not be measured because measurement can not constrain infinity ~~~
@@joem5110 I couldn't believe when my cousin texted me the news that Neil PEART had passed away. It was surreal. Neil PEART's and Edward VAN HALEN's passings really hit me hard.
I'm only 15, and Rush is by far my favorite band. Play songs in my head, and dream about them all day every day. Rock on.
@Evan Murphy*I was ur age when I saw Rush n it was my first concert n best concert ever.amazing band.that's so cool ur a fan they need more kids like you.
@@asianzeusecannon5880 I'm 23 now. wow time flies. life is bizarre. Rush is still, to me, an amazing group of musicians. still loving all of their albums to this day.
I'm 45 n my kids likes the 80s n 90s rock especially Rush,they both think Neil is Goat of drums.Gotta teach them the music history.
Im 14, rush is great man
@@rayraytendy me too keep it up
Still grieving 🥺
Go to work all day and come home go to my den play my music. Still trying to wrap my head around this emptiness in the universe. 😔
This one really hurts.🥁
It’s been over a week now and I still feel fucked up. Mr.Wheaton must be having a difficult time. ✌️🇨🇦❤️
Yep
As a fellow Canadian, songwriter, and vocalist...I get where your coming from. I would never have been able to write some of the songs I have and touched peoples souls without reading, and living his writing. Sometimes the things we take for granted are the things that others take to heart. God Bless to you all. Jay
Mark Stenger .... my heart aches... and his family... oh goodness ... and Geddy... and Alex must still be just like what the hell.... they were so tight for so long and Neil was still so young.... fruckin brain cancer
You didnt even know him smh
I am an Aspie. I have been a fan of Rush since 1976.
I have always felt strongly that Neil Peart had Asperger's.
His very Introverted/Highly Sensitive nature and his love of space, time and math fits perfectly with being an Aspie. His need for solitude and deep inner thoughts fits well with Asperger's.
RIP Neil
Interesting insight. Thanks for sharing.
Brother this is an awesome insight! I’m a fellow Aspie and I share many of those things you discuss!
@@hellfirebloodcrossproducti4394
👊 for you my fellow Aspie!
Neil Peart Is the reason why I became a drummer!
Me neihter.
neil peart is the reason a lot of people quit as drummers.
Chris R Jesus, I think the same thing!
YEP! ME TOO! And when I read that "People quite drumming BECAUSE of Neil"... that's BULL SHIT! They QUITE because of their OWN Failings! As a Drummer/Percussion and Lyricist I always strived to be BETTER BECAUSE of Neil!
Sorry... NOT Amused! It took me a LONG TIME and ALOT of PRACTICE to get good... and people like YOU MOCK that!
My air drum kit isn't even close to this big, but I'm still very proud of it.
Ha Ha... love the attitude!
my air drum kit has everything on it. Gong, china, wind chimes, tubular bells, woodblocks, you name it, the kit has it
@@kai326 but does it have enough cowbell?!??
@@IarwainBen-adar you betcha
@@kai326 so you can fix my fever?!?! Great!
He's so good that his kit gets its very own tour..
Sadly there will never be another Neil Peart again. RIP Mr. Peart
Danny Carey
R.I.P. NEAL WILL BE MISSED
Neil*
From Canada to The U.S. to Rio, "Time Stand Still" and if i need my Rush , I can always find you in "The Spirit of Radio". RIP my brother and long live Rush!
To think this was the last kit he got to play in live events. Matter stays as legacy. Neil forever part of the cosmos he so loved to connect via his repercussions!
Incorrect, R40 kit came after this with DW timeless timbre Romanian river oak shellls
@@norcoriders99 I stand corrected then. That I was not aware of.
@@norcoriders99 how about clockwork angels tour?
@@oreothebest time machine kit was 2010 , Clock work was 2012.
Lots of drummers have tour kits. How many have kit tours?
I love this observation.
You can say whatever you wanna...you can say even say you do not like Neil Peart "playing style" and a lot of more stupid things....but one thing is true...that's the most beautiful drum kit of the drum's kit history period. The DW design, cooper lugs and rims finish, the alchemy symbols, the Sabians Paragon...my god, everything, every detail...are really fantastic !!!!
Paulo Mendo >>> PreferTama , myself & Ziljan cymbals ... THOUGH, I TOTALLY,"AGREE" with YOUR COMMENT...> WAYNE'S DOMAIN
The time machine kit is probably my favorite of Neil's DW days!
Ive never met anyone who doesnt like Neil Peart
@@waynesdomain9726 It's really going to be hard for most people to disagree with Neil's choices.
It’s a gorgeous kit…but didn’t sound half as good as his Tamas or the Ludwigs. All this multi ply blah blah….and it all was a step back sonically.
Neil peart is the greatest rock and metal drummer of all time!
My favorite kit of Neil's. This is truly a DW Masterpiece and Louie out did himself on this one !
Rest in peace neil . you will be missed by all of us fans
I was lucky enough to see them on this tour in Detroit. It's still hard to believe Neil is gone.
It doesn't need to be a piece of art at such a fine level, but it is. What an awesome kit! RIP Neil
So beautiful all the details!! One of a kind totally amazing!!! Always my favorite drummer. He was very blessed. May he rest in peace!!!
That is by far one of the coolest sets I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of sets. The attention to detail is amazing.
With a heavy heart I would like to say to the family & friends of Neil Peart, you have my sincerest and utmost condolences! What a profound loss this is. The world is a little bit darker now without you in it Neil, you will be missed and never forgotten. 😢
What a painful loss of our musical hero and just a great guy. Love ya forever, Neil. RIP. Time to listen to Afterimage (again).
No freaking clue what's he's talking about but I'm listening.
Ditto! 😂
In 1976 I bought All the World's a Stage. I had never heard of Rush, but I figured if the drummer has the balls to own the kit pictured on the album, he must know how to play it. I think I nailed it. What a musician. What a man.
My very first concert it was the Power Window tour in Boston I was only 15.He inspired me to play drums n become a percussionist that I am.
Made of maple drumkit, the ultimate Canadian Eeh!!! Only a God can play it, Neil you will be missed. RIP 😔😔😔😔😔
I remember being 9 years old, picking up drums and hearing Rush and was amazed. I am 42 years old and still play drums and believe RUSH is "one" of the best bands going.
I AM a RUSH fan!!! Luv the Kit!!!!
The love and pride he has in working for Neil shines in every word. "Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough."
Most beautiful kit I've ever seen! Glad to have witnessed him playing it live!
How cool is that! The Professor deserves nothing less! Very exciting!
I grew up with this being my favorite band, and the best part was I knew I could take my 8 year old son and the music would still be great for him as well. We went to Red Rocks twice and he still talks about the shows (he is 21 now)!! Also was able to take my best friend who has now passed and sit front row just off of center at Red Rocks. Thanks to Neil (RIP), Geddy, Alex and all of the extremely talented folks who put on these amazing shows! You will never be forgotten!
- Neil, how many drums do you need?
- Yes
And to think when this was made...Neil had only 9 years left.I was lucky enough to see Rush in 1975 and 77. RIP Neil Emmet Peart....now you are home with Jackie and your first daughter Selena.
Neil is a Drumming icon of the 20 & 21st Centuries. Just amazing how his Drumming is like Music on Drums instead of just beats; it's so unique and always has been and always will be. Peter Erskine told me they had a blast together in his lessons. We love you Neil- keep it coming :>)
Regards,
Tones
Laughable in a good way I hope ? That's absolutely true that Peter told me that; that was in a group master class with him at a Drum Fantasy Camp in Cleveland, OH. Of course Peter is also an Icon Drummer of the 20 & 21 Centuries :>) Niel's just working on Jazz and improvisation now besides just his great Rock- heavy hitter- stadium style drumming.
That drum kit is a pure work of art!!
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!
REST IN POWER NIEL 😭
Neil's "Roll the Bones" blue-shadow Ludwig kit is the most beautiful kit I've seen to date!
Neil is, and was an Amazing ! Drummer. Hands down one of the best that ever was. Did his kit evolve into this high tech because of Neil being able to reconstruct 40 yrs of music and also constantly moving his sound forward. I'd like to hear someone speak to that. Thanks. Rip professor....
His kit evolved because he evolved as a drummer constantly working so hard to perfect his craft yes he was talented but he worked harder to be the best that's ehy he was and is the best...also his love for African rhythms....His back kit that he played on if you listen closely you can hear the African rhythms in his Solo...
Had & played the same drum set on All the worlds a stage,Chrome SlingerLand's,for about 7 yrs.Except it wasn't double bass,only double kicker.Sold them,then bought a 14 pc Tama with a double bass.My last was a 16 pc DW,Nice sounding drums.I agree with u Neil,thats why u played them so long.
Yikes! A space shuttle would be easier to find one's way around. Love you Neil, thank you for all you did and will continue to do with the legacy you're leaving behind.
I agree....his set should be in a museum!
good piece...back in the late 70s i dreamed of roadies doing pieces like this...that there were many musicians who simply wanted an up close and personal view of a bands gear.....years later we have y tube...and so many ways to visualize things...
TheTayedrums That's so true. We can get so much more information now. Back then, it would have cost a lot of money to make a video like this, and distributing it to the people who would be interested in seeing it would have been nearly impossible. People complain about too much technology, but this is a great use of it.
Thank you for the tour of the Professor’s kit, truly a work of art.
I've been a Rush fan since 1976 and I'm always happy to read posts like yours. It'll be up to people like you to carry the banner after we older guys are gone. Keep the the faith, X.
Man, that whole 'Steam Punk' approach to the design of the drums and hardware is too cool!
The most dazzling and imaginative kit of my lifetime.
Neil Peart is the best drummer in the world hands down no competition!!!!
Truth Seeker Green is your favorite color.
Randy Young "The best" get thrown around too much. I like Neil and RUSH in general but there are many pro drummers that are more accomplished. IMHO

Randy Young Yes maybe he is the best but dont forget Carl palmer
Lest we forget Bonham's bionic right foot...and we mustn't forget extreme talent and skill in all other limbs, i could add soooo much praise, talk about his play on "Moby Dick", and on and on....but one word(name) quiets most rational argument...BONZO.
Evan, of the Sin City Disciples(forget his last name, if anyone knows) played with such precision and power, yet he looks effortless, almost as if it were pure leisure. Since they disbanded, he has done the clinic stuff, and still does from time to time, but he has project bands that he just does things with, when opportunity knocks
Keith Moon, (though looking as if he was falling thru his drum kit), was one of, if not the most melodic, creative drummers ever. Its is hard to imagine what in the world is he doing this, and how exactly did he learn to play...and that's just from listening. Then, you see him play, and its even more baffling
Stewart Copeland plays like he is trying to destroy the kit and his health, they keep 2 extra of every stick drum in the kit because he blasts thru dome drum heads in performance....plays with such intensity, but can blend styles, and seamlessly go from a Reggae beat to Punk, Jazz, you name it....i would love to see him in a band where he has more autonomy, less history and hysteria also would be a good thing for him....i'd love to see him host a clinic nearby.
Unknown to far, far too many, J.R. Robinson is the greatest session drummer ever. His drums are on some of the biggest hits, and great LPs in our lifetimes.Most importantly, Robinson laid the disco-rock-funk-pop concrete of Michael Jackson's tectonic-shifting Off the Wall. He played for the likes of Chaka Khan, Steve Winwood, all the way to some work with Daft Punk......There are so many, living and not, that i know Mr. Peart would not place himself above, but as for myself, he stands equal with any list that is an Honest Top 20 or an even lower number....Top 10, i'd say is fair, considering the history.
This is just insane how much tek goes into Neil's kit!!
I wonder how Buddy or Gene would have sounded with this tek???
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!
This drum kit is incredible, like the drummer it was designed for
Gorgeous kit. Rest easy, Neil.
Rest in peace Neil and Richard. Of course we all knew and admired Neil. Richard was my kid brother and the one who turned me on to Rush in 1975 when we were pot smoking JDs. Richard died on December 14, 1995 (25 years ago tomorrow) from IV related AIDS. We went to probably 50 or 60 Rush concerts over the years.
Pretty awesome! 🥁 I would be happy to just hit the cow bell. 🤗 RIP Neil. Best drum rolls ever!
RIP sir Neil
Every band, if together long enough, becomes a family. My condolences to the Rush family.
Wow! This is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
If you listen to the lyrics from Godspeed by Alter Bridge....oh my word...very apt.
How can you not be shattered by this, especially those of us who have been ‘with’ him for 30+ years.
Just hope all the other boys pull through and stay healthy...this stuff will never happen again, we’ve all been so lucky...
There should be a movie on Neil Peart I think a great actor would be Tom Hanks I think these guys look like brothers rest in peace Neil you are a true inspiration in my life of drumming
Neil peart gênio na bateria um ser humano fantástico que se foi mais seu legado isso nunca morrerá descanse em paz Neil peart ..
WOW ... really like the look of this Time Machine drum kit !
The coated clear heads are 14 mil, two ply heads with the broken white coating strip near the edge of the head. These are made for DW by Remo, and come stock on all DW, and PDP intermediate, and pro level drum kits.
I helped tear his kit down in Chicago on Snakes and arrows tour.. very cool.) Lorne was nice, great experience.)
Great guy and as you would expect he really knows his stuff. So sad Neil is gone. R.I.P. the guy who played on Xanadu - what else can you say?
He's not gone but living in another dimension
One we cannot see as we live on Earth...but when our body passes away our soul lifts out and we begin our life of eternity.....Read your Bible
Too beautiful for words!
Anyone watching after his death?
me
and me
yes many......inspired forever
and me, sadly...
IMHO the best looking Neil kit of them all. i'm very temped to have wraps make for my kit to match this
Your watching it up close right now. That's the whole point, its used for press and photo shoots. This drum set was obviously in a few magazine covers. They will print out centerfolds, posters, and internet media.
I still remember Peart's custom DW kit on the cover of Drum! magazine from almost 10yrs ago. Its was black w/ gold hardware and pentagrams and diagrams on it. I bought that magazine as a kid just to read about them. These over the top drum kits generate effective advertising.
Very very very impressive work Happy New year to you guys James Kansas City Missouri
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
Majestical looking drum kit
This kit is sexy man...just can’t describe it any better...only a master could make her purr...R.I.P Neil...your are missed by so many.
Neil Peart, uma unanimidade no mundo do rock, seja qual for o estilo.
Isso é um verdadeiro legado!
This and nicko mcbrains legacy of the beast kit must be the coolest looking kits of all time, so much attention to detail
Wouldn't it be cool if they had a replica of that set that drummers could give a go? It'd be fun to feel what it's like behind the mans famous kit. Hell, how about kits plural: the Neal Peart Experience. I'm happy to say that I got to see the man live and in person in the early 80's, and what a show it was. I will always remember that show, always.
i listened to rush ever since i was 11
Would have liked to have seen the hardware as he spoke versus just seeing him. Having said that...BEAUTIFUL KIT!!!
Is there any questions to who the greatest drummer of all time's is? I've been following this man's career since 1974 when I wad 13. There will never be another master at thier craft the way the PROFESSOR the GOATIEST of all GOAT'S will ever be. May you rest in peace Mr. Peart the legendary.
that's the most custom made kit since carl palmers pagoda Ludwig kit in 1973 … what a stunning piece of gear .. even the cymbals are unique … for a unique drummer
What happens to all the old drum kits 🤔
"I dont always play drums, but when i do, I play Peart's"...
Amazing video
awesome set, thanks for the post!
He went to hang out with Curly, Larry, and Moe. RIP NIEL!
Beautiful
Stunning attention to detail this kit. Like something from a Speilberg movie. Or maybe James Cameron.
dopey cameraman showing the tech instead of showing the drum set.
Rush Forever
I'm not a DW guy so I didn't know this, but most DW kits come with the coated/clear heads made by Remo. Now I know.
your welcome. it nice to speak with other drummers i'm a drummer my self
We do get Hockey Night in Canada in Buffalo NY. Go Sabres!
For your information, Neil has been using a massive kit ever since 2112/ a farewell to kings.
Anybody know what the little pad just north of the snare drum is for? 3:22 I've never seen any video of him using it. An electronic FX snare perhaps??
I think it's trigger pad...you can see him hit a gong sound...the very last note if you watch his live from Frankfurt drum solo.
How did Neil climb inside this beast? I can’t find an opening.
If you look towards the back there is a small opening he could shimmy thru.
Just simply in sane!! I wonder what buddy rich would of thought about this drum kit lol
the cymbals are amazing
Quite a change from the old Slingerland set that weren't even all the same color
That entire set, including the rotating riser and all the gadets is easily $100k. His drum set alone is probably $25k. Sick.
Forget the forests.......build more drums like this!!
