Rush's Neil Peart Teases R40 Icon Snare

. (hennemusic) Rush drummer Neil Peart has released a preview video for the new R40 Icon snare drum in advance of the band's R40 40th anniversary tour. The R40 Icon snare is expected to be available this spring.

Peart teamed with DW Drum Designer John Good to create a one-of-a kind R40 kit crafted from Romanian River Oak and a plethora of intricate laser-cut exotic woods.

To commemorate Rush's 40th Anniversary and the making of the R40 kit, a limited number of 250 replica Icon snare drums will be produced. The 6.5x14", 13-ply VLT Oak shell is sealed in clear, high-gloss lacquer and complemented by gold-plated hardware.

A signed-and-numbered certificate of authenticity and deluxe carrying bag will accompany each drum and a percentage of the proceeds will benefit Neil's charity of choice. Read more and watch the video here.
