Each drum is made from hand-selected maple wood with an inner ply of curly maple, while the finish is an extreme custom lacquer process that involves hologram appliques of icons (inspired by Keith Moon's "Pictures of Lily" kit) representing many of Rush's most famous recordings and tours.

Each Black Mirra Flake panel is lined with red pin striping and the entire kit including hardware and pedals are custom plated in rich 24-carat gold. The R30 kit also includes a full complement of Neil's Sabian Paragon cymbals, which the drummer developed in collaboration with Sabian.

The kit comes complete with 30 pairs of Pro-Mark Neil Peart Commemorative Drum Sticks, an exclusive dvd titled "The Making of the R30 Drumkit", as well as a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Neil Peart.

Retailer Guitar Center is making this once-in-a-lifetime, limited production (only 30 are being produced) DW Neil Peart Commemorative R30 Drum Kit available on October 30th, 2006 at $30,000 (about € 23,820).
