A Tama Superstar drum kit, custom made for Neil Peart, drummer from the band Rush. The kit was used by Peart for recording on three Rush albums, Signals (Anthem, 1982), Grace Under Pressure (Anthem, 1984), and Power Windows (Anthem, 1985), as well as all live shows played on the concert tours that followed the release of each album. Peart also played the kit in nine music videos for the singles that were released from each album. As well, Peart can be seen playing the kit in the RUSH concert video "Grace Under Pressure Tour 1984" (Anthem, 1985) which was recorded live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada, on September 21, 1984. The kit was originally given away by Peart to the winner of a contest that was held in Modern Drummer magazine in 1987. The kit is made of a four-ply prototype shell with fiberglass inner layer and brass plated hardware. The kit features "RUSH RED Candy Apple" paint finish that was developed exclusively for Peart. The drums included are as follows (all dimensions are in diameter by depth): two 24 by 16 inch bass drums, with accompanying spurs, featuring Remo C.S.
