I've sat behind this kit, in Chicago


One of you guys should buy it

That will sell for a stupid amount of money...

Very cool. All The World's a Stage was one of the first Rush albums I owned. I spent hours looking at that cover and the gatefold.

Expected to fetch 100k to 160k.

I’ll take two.
Oh. You only have one?
Well, forget it then.

I think this is the kit they set up in Lakeside Park a number of years back. They had a photographer and were selling pictures to raise money for some thing. You could also buy a “play it” experience and they let you play.

Might be fun to learn how to play drums. Would this be a good starter set for me?

So much rage.

At that price I think that we’ll see the other two kits hit the market in the near future.

RUSH have a ton of stuff in a warehouse, because “it’s just the stuff they needed to do their jobs.”
I can see them making it available for charity’s sake. What happens after that, who knows?

My favorite from a Buddy Rich memorial. Solo starts about 5 minutes in.
