So even as I admit this is a fanboy request, I would totally buy it. I’ve spent so many hours with SD2 & now SD3 chasing various of Neil’s instruments… and my results are not what I’m hoping for. Even the Groove 3 video about recreating Tom Sawyer’s drums is …. OK, I guess. But it doesn’t get me where I want to go. I’m now searching for companies/individuals who have already done the work of assembling the correct kit pieces, tunings, and processing to match the prototype of each Rush tour’s kit.
I guess you have to start somewhere, but I’m looking for a comprehensive solution, like “Peart Decades”:
Kit 1 – 1970’s: The Slingerlands
Kit 2 – 1980’s: Tama Artstar
Kit 3 – 1990’s Ludwigs (with add ins for the concert toms he used early on)
Kit 4 – 2000’s early DW’s.
Kit 5 – the electrics
I’d be set if it stopped here. We already have a good representation of the DW kit he used on the last few tours.
I think we may already have the tools to create most of this. But, as with drumming itself, I have too little talent and too little time to do it myself.
