Available as a downloadable pack, 'Neil Peart Drums Vol 1' by Sonic Reality features samples of Neil's authentic DW signature Snakes and Arrows set.

Recorded by engineer / producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains) this stereo kit offers realistic, high-quality drums, played Peart-style.

This expansion pack has been crafted in Session Drummer 3 format so that Sonar 8.5 and Sonar X1 users can use Neil Peart's exclusive sampled kit.

This custom DW kit was made to spec for Neil, complete with a 23-inch kick drum, wide array of toms, cymbals, and a snare recorded through vintage Neve channels using vintage tube and ribbon microphones by Nick Raskulinecz. According to Cakewalk, this powerfully expressive drum kit packs in the punch and delivers dynamic acoustic drums like nothing else.
