Being both a Rush and Genesis nut I love this photo of Neil Peart circa 1974. If you look closely he is wearing a Genesis t-shirt.

Tom mic is an AKG D1000E; snare mic is an AKG D200E (with the end grille missing). D1000E was a good inexpensive all-purpose mic with a 3-position bass roll-off switch. D200E featured independent low-frequency and high-frequency pickup elements (LF on sides, HF at the end). We bought them for vocals but they sucked at that, so we used them for drum overheads and snare, which they worked pretty well at.

Oh right!!! I myself, use a D222 for my snare. A while ago we spoke some about your mic steup. I had forgotten about that but now I remember you mentioning you had a bunch of AKG from that era and used a D200 for your snare.

The Red sparkle Rogers are at long last back from their edge job. I just had enough time to dust em a bit, give em a little wipe with Novus 1 and set them instead of the Sonors. They were (and still are) set up with brand new EC2 tom batters wich I hate. Tomorrow I'll take time to change those and try to tune to my liking.

Looks like a cottontail rabbit backed its a$$ up to the outer ply. I’ve named this drum “el conejo” as a sign of respect.

Acrolite sporting a 1920's single flange hoop. For the time being I'm using the Acrolite's chrome over brass triple flange hoop on the 1920's snare to save my sticks.

Late 1940's WFL kit. 13/16/24x14
