This is something I found on one of the forums at mikeportnoy.com:
well i have some info on Neil Peart's kit for the upcomming tour. apparently he will be using his "back 40" kit as well as his normal rig. my contact at Wuhan had said they were making him a bunch of 17" chinas for his front kit and 19" for his back kit. (he'll only use one of each but he needs back ups)
i've also been told that dw is making neil a few new drums (rumour is an actual GONG BASS drum to replace the suspended 18" he used last time, and a few piccolo toms, (those terry bozzio things), and i think someone stated that they were making dummy shells for his electronic pads. didn't get any info on them but could be true...'
also i would guess he's using Roland V drums now...
If the above information is true, then first of all I'm glad to hear he's keeping the electronics as part of his live kit. Secondly, as I believe I stated in another thread, Neil would look mighty spiffy parked behind a set of (albeit altered) V-drums....
