launchpad67a Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Can't be positive on the year but...Neil started playing a certain brand and type of drum head. He played them up until probably 1985. ***EXCEPT FOR DRUMMERS...!!!!! Can you name this brand and type? (easy question...I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o baterista Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Not sure my guess would be Remo. I think he plays Remos clear ambassadors now with white muffle rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

launchpad67a Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Thats ok guys. I thought this was an easier question than it turned out to be. Anyhow, in a PM, CygnusX-1Bk2 answered it correctly. Back in the day Neil used 'Evans' drumheads. Cyg thought they were the Mirror Chrome models, I always thought they were the Blue Hydraulics. At any rate, they were Evans and that was the answer I was looking for. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 When my friend Adam got the kit from Neil it had Evans Chrome (mirror) 2 plys on the closed toms (play side) and Remo resonant bottom heads. The concert toms had Remo CS Blackdots (except for the 6" which had a Tama blackdot - still a Remo but with a Tama logo), the Timbales had Remo Ambassador white coated (complete with Neil's coffee cup stain on the 13"), the snare and bass drums had Remo CS Cleardots (play side) and the gong bass drums had Remo clear Ambassador or Emperor. The front bass drum heads with the logos are also Remo clear ambassadors. The logos are hand painted on the inner part of the head. These are the heads from ESL and Adam still has all of the original heads he got with the kit. One of the coolest things about this kit (aside from being Neil's) is the inscripted plaque on the left bass drum which states that the kit was designed by Tama for Neil and given to Adam in the fall of 1982. You can see the plaque in the picture below. On the Hemisphers kit (Black Slingerlands) Neil used Ludwig Rocker heads which have a silver dot (as visible in the Chronicles videos for the Trees and CTTH). On the red Tama kit Neil had red Evans hydraulics, also visible in Chronicles (Big Money). I think he had the Blue hydraulics on the blue Ludwig kit used for RTB and CP.

Digital Man Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Nov 18 2004, 12:58 PM) I love seeing that kit... WOW! It's a very cool kit. It's even better when you get to see it from 5 feet away. GG, maybe you'll be able to fly out here to CA sometime when it's being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures tours, Neil did indeed have Evans Blue Hydraulics on the bottomof the 3 closed tom-toms and floor tom-tom. The Evans Mirror Chrome heads were on top.
