WCFIELDS Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 QUOTE (druid13 @ Aug 3 2009, 01:40 PM) You guys who Higly Doubt Neil would put his name on his bass drums need to look at the ATWAS gatefold picutres alittle more carefully.....the fact the names were there ( clearly visible on my Vinyl version) is what made it MORE believable not less. Peart took these heads off for the recording of ATWAS.....for MAssey HAll...but check the front cover...the names are there. cool......you learn something everyday!

Nice find, although it looks too good to be legit. It could be though. I'm guessing the winner stuck those on??? I highly doubt Neil would ever put his name on the bass drums...... Neil didn't put his own name on his drums, he put Larry Dombraski's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC2112 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 QUOTE (Beatnik @ Aug 3 2009, 03:36 PM)Putting your name on your kicks was a popular thing to do back in the day, Carmine Appice and Cozy Powell come to mind. I believe the kit in the Fly By Night video was a rental (he had three floor toms set up) Look here and you will see the squares on the heads where his name was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN4wIpDABUU Cool auction and I would go with legit. I just read through this post... at first skeptical but fully convinced of their legitimacy. If I only had $10,000+ to spend on this piece of rock history. Great video of Anthem!

Bawoo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 As to the concert toms, Neil always used Ludwig silver dots on those, up to the Tama kits where he started using Remo black dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right about that, but I seem to remember black dots on the Exit Stage Left video (maybe silver still on Permanent waves...?). But in any case they were always dots.

I'm very glad that they went to a true fan! No, not me ... I was just joshing. But, I am handling a lot of things for the winner to protect his anonymity. I can say this much ... they will not be hidden away in the basement or storage. Keep an eye out around here in the next week or two for a cool announcement about the kit and where you will be able to see it up close. There are some other things going down with it to that you as a fan will really like. Think Indy in November. RUSH On! -Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 That's great that the winner plans to share a little with the fans, instead of just stashing them in his basement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlowe Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 That would be great if it went to Indy, not far from Michigan and I would make the trip to go down and visit. Maybe even a TRF Pre-drum kit viewing party???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I wasn't aware his toms didn't match at that time. It would be hard to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt if this is authentic. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would not be easy to duplicate with so much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think we can put the authenticity thing to bed. Way to much discussion on and off this board on that subject. They were Neil's drums. I just have a comment re: the inference that a "collector" would only stash this drum set away in his / her basement so they and they alone could view it. I have no idea who the winning bidder was. I was in there in a serious way near the end. As a collector, I had every intention of "sharing" the set. It would have been a good reason for my first attendance at Rushcon and I also intended to loan it to the Toronto Hard Rock or some other venue. I can't imagine it sitting in my basement gathering dust. Just to say that it isn't like this kit has been rescued from obscurity by some white knight. Can't wait to see it in person some day - 30 + years after I last viewed it up on a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
