This listing is for a DW R40 Neil Peart Signature Snare 14x4” Tribute. This drum is truly a one-of-a-kind snare as we know little about it.
This drum is a 4” deep drum that was literally created upside down, in that the graphics were upside down on the shell. DrumPickers professional craftsmen recut bearing edges on the downside of the drum, and snare beds where they are supposed to be, and now the drum sounds absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous. Typical snare drums in the professional category sound great, but this drum is truly iconic. It’s tone is brilliant and it’s range is phenomenally expansive AND expressive!!
