steve5 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 In the different tour books I have read they state that Neil has used a 5 x 13, 5 x 14, and a 5.5 x 14 Slingerland snare he calls "Old Faithful" or "Number 1". On his Work in Progress dvd, Neil actually says it is a 5 x 13. My question then becomes what model of Slingerland is it... an Artist, a Radio King, or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you might imagine the Rush Archive and Rush contact e-mails have been no help. I know they have better things to do! Hoping to end my quest for the perfect snare... steve6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o baterista Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) I found this ...... Rush Tour Neil's kit for this tour was a Slingerland kit in chrome finish. The kit consisted of two 13x9 toms, one 14x10 tom, a 16x16 floor tom, and two 22x14 bass drums. His snare was a 14x5.5 secondhand Slingerland Artist snare drum that would remain in his subsequent kits for the next twenty-plus years. Another thing that would also remain constant in his kit were Zildjian cymbals. This outfit consisted of 16", 18", and 20" A Crashes, a 22" Ping Ride (also a constant in future kits), a pair of 13" New Beat Hi-Hats (ditto), and two splashes, 6" and 8".

It probably costs more than that. I saw the price online and it said that it retails for around $1,500. I have seen some pretty decent Pearl sets for around $800. I don't know if that price is correct for the Neil Peart snare, but that's what I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I saw the estimated price, and they dropped it since the release.

Drumnut Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 http://www.drummagazine.com/imagesmain/news0904dwpeart.jpg It won't help you through all those crazy "Tom Sawyer" fills, but DW's Neil Peart Edge snare drum will have you celebrating Rush's 30th anniversary in "mean mean pride" style. The drum, which retails for $1,535, features a Black Mirra Flake Lacquer Specialty finish with the band's famous "Starman" logo, 24-karat gold-plated hardware, and the company's new Delta ball-bearing throw-off. www.drummagazine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstar86 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Anyone noticed that Neil's snare doesn't sound as tight on Different Stages? It sounds deep and loose. I like his Moving Pictures era snare the best. I'm not a drummer though. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
