The drum set was able to deliver the drum sounds throughout Rush’s first 3 albums (Caress of Steel, Fly By Night and 2112) with its slick double-kick construction. The chrome Slingerland also traveled alongside Peart on some of Rush’s live tours, with Peart’s and fans of Rush would appreciate the rapid-fire pounding delivered by Peart on the drums in the live album “All The World’s Stage” back in 1976.
