Neil Peart kit with Steampunk Cymbals 

Neil Peart is a visionary in many ways but when he approached SABIAN’s artist relations dude, Chris Stankee with a concept of steampunk style cymbals to coincide with Rush’s upcoming tour, he may have asked for too much.

Taking his inspiration from H.G. Wells & Jules Verne, the concept fuses elaborate clockwork components with alchemy symbols to arrive at a style Neil describes as “steampunk”

Read all about the ideas and attempts to make Neil Peart’s vision of Steampunk style cymbals a reality on the SABIAN website here.  You can find out about the upcoming Rush tour & album “Clockwork Angels” here and we have to say, please DON’T paint your cymbals as it will affect their sound.

Neil Peart exclusively uses SABIAN Paragon & Artisan cymbals.
