Neil Peart

Neil Peart has consistently utilized the Alternate Mode malletKAT 7 KS Electronic Marimba as part of his Time Machine Hybrid Drum Kit, as detailed by Roland Canada.

The tour to support 1987’s Hold Your Fire saw another changing of the guard, kit wise. Sparing no expense, Peart lined up several different drum sets side by side and test-drove them all. Eventually he chose a Ludwig Super Classic set finished in an opalescent white, with some sparkles “and just a little pink mixed in.” The company made some concert toms, including adorable 6″ x 5.5″ and 8″ x 5.5″ sizes, but Peart opted for double-headed drums all the way around when push came to shove. The sizes: 6″ x 9″, 8″ x 9″, 10″ x 9″, 12″ x 8″, 13″ x 9″, and 15″ x 12″ rack toms, with an 18″ x 16″ floor tom.
