“Neil’s been playing Drum Workshop since 1995. The first tour he did with DW was the Red Sparkle kit on the Test For Echo tour and we used that for Vapor Trails too.
"Then we went into R30 (the Rush 30th anniversary world tour) with the custom-built kit with the Rush logos, then the Snakes And Arrows tour, and this is where we’ve ended up, with the new Time Machine kit. Louie [Garcia, DW master craftsman and artist] spent so much time building and finishing it.
“The shells are one-ply of walnut on the outside which we match with the deck on the riser. They’re all maple shells and a mixture of VLT, VLX and X-shells.”
