LeChuck Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Neat thread! I'm not a drummer, but I always wonder what it would cost to recreate some of his old kits (particularly from AFTK and Hemispheres) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wow that is an oldie but goodie. Whatever happened to tascam I wonder tascam is who posted the update yesterday, no?  Let me get this straight, though- this is what DW is charging to make replicas of the R30 kit? Or it is the very kit that he used, and it just hasn’t sold in 14+ years since the tour ended? I’m confused... If it is THE kit, Neil’s kit that he played, my god, I’d buy it. But if it’s a replica, for close to 100K...ummm, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I missed that! I assumed the update was from the original post. Edited February 4, 2020 by Syrinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it’s a replica, for close to 100K...ummm, no. This is simply my approximation of what the cost of the R30 drum set would have cost back in 2005...with a 2020 update on all of the 24K Gold hardware. The pricing is for someone to order a "similar" drum set to Neil's back in 2005. This is not the pricing for the R30 replicas that Guitar Center sold for $30,000. I simply took a piece by piece assessment of the original R30 drum set and posted pricing for everything I was able to identify. I'm not sure DW would even consider building a replica R30 drum set today (2020) out of respect to Neil.

Syrinx Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hey Tascam. You were the one who had that web site dedicated to people making re-creations of Neil Peart kits right? Is it still around? I remember some very interesting discussions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
