kevind2112 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm bummed, not because it's not rotating, that's just for show, but because there will probably be no electronic solo (my favorite kind of solo), and there is less of a chance we will hear electronic kit songs. I really wanted to hear The Weapon, and Mystic Rhythms. I suppose it could still happen, but then again, without the dedicated kit, maybe it won't. I don't know the full logistics. The Weapon was never played on the Satellite kit. Even though there are electronics in the song, it was played on the main kit on the Grace Under Pressure tour. Witch Hunt was played on the satellite kit, but it could still be managed very easily on the main kit. So if you are hoping for the Fear Trilogy (Quadrilogy?) it could still happen. And yes, I'm hoping we'll see that as well! Mystic Rhythms could still technically be played on the main kit as long as there is access to the proper sounds via pads (which judging by that photo he does) but I still wouldn't expect to hear it this time around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Why only one bass drum AGAIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind2112 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Why only one bass drum AGAIN? Because one bass drum with a double pedal is the way to go. Tuning, mic'ing, positioning of other drums, everything is much easier with one bass drum. While the double bass drum setup "looks" cool, there hasn't been a practical reason to use that kind of setup in decades, especially with the increase in quality of double bass pedals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound of Obscure Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just straight-ahead, stripped down some, no frills. Right on. Yep, Back to basics. :7up: Bring back the chimes, wood blocks and gong. That's what is supposed to be in the back of his set anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairC45 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I wonder if he'll have two set-ups side by side, one for regular drums (with chimes,bells and other pre-Signals hardwear),and the other for his electronic Drums???

I gathered from what Lorne Wheaton said that there will be few if any electronic drums at all this tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gathered from what Lorne Wheaton said that there will be few if any electronic drums at all this tour. Judging by that overview of his kit, it looks to have 4 electronic pads, plus the Kat controller. I'm sure there is a foot pedal trigger as well. Plenty of electronics for what he'll need for this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Who knows, but when I look closely at that riser there are more holes - maybe for acoustic percussion? Where is that photo from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicB Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The riser looks like the same size as previous tours, not enough my space to accommodate any additional percussion instruments IMHO. I think Neil's going to finish his RUSH career BUDDY RICH STYLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think there's something up their sleeve. It's an amazing kit, but to omit the all the esoteric and exotic percussion he is know for doesn't make sense. Not saying he has to have V-drums, but I would be surprised if there wasn't acoustic percussion, or... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 What he ought to do is stop this "no satellite kit" BS and bring back the old Simmons SDSV hexagon pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Just straight-ahead, stripped down some, no frills. Right on. No time better than to revisit the roots. Not going backwards, per se, but instead completing full circle. Edited February 6, 2015 by GeminiRising79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDC Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 What he ought to do is stop this "no satellite kit" BS and bring back the old Simmons SDSV hexagon pads. The Simmons pads were hell on elbows! They need to stay in the archives. V-drums (which he still has in his kit) are much more user friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDC Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 On a separate note, I did break down and order one of these: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0106/0722/products/dw_neil_peart_R40_snare_drum_1024x1024.jpg?v=1422419249Though I didn't order from these guys - they are out of their allotment for April already. I've been wanting to do it for a number of tours so I finally looked past the cost and pulled the trigger. Now I just have to wait until spring to get it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not sure if this has been posted already. In this interview with Lorne, he mentions there will be no satellite kit this tour, and the riser will not be rotating. Just thought that was interesting.... http://youtu.be/l5FbN_FhX3M Wouldn't it be great if he Brought Back his old (Moving Pictures) Drum set with the Chimes and all? http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/neil_images/neil_80s_2.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
