I have a general knowledge of the band Rush, but I would say my expertise would be in their drummer Neil Peart such as setups over the years equipment etc...

Rush - Library Drum Sounds of Neil Peart


Expert: Dan Lamb - 3/29/2004

Question
Hello Dan

I have the Roland Human Rhythm Composer
R-8 mkII that I brought from The Guitar Center
in L..A. Calif on Sunset Blivd in 93.

And I maped out or try to get as close as I
could on Neil's drum kit that I saw on modern
drummer 8/92.

I drew a picture of the top view
his drum kit and then, map it on Roland Human Rhythm Composer R-8 mkII.

It took me 2 days too complete it, why
it took me so long by the in of the 1st
day I started getting a serious head pains on
working on something that I have never done.

After I completed mapping out the sounds
on the device. I used Finale from Coda Music
Software, and type out some drum music
off the Records that I heard from Rush's songs and played them back.

That shit was tight especially listening
through some JBL studio monitors the 4503's.
500 watts of power.

Now I need to know is there any Library  Drum Sounds of Neil Peart that has bee devloped
for the Roland Human Rhythm Composer R-8 mkII.

Let me know .

Thank you Darnice Linton  

Answer
Hello Darnice
I too am a drummer and also wish I knew if any samples of Neils are out there.  Sorry to say I do not know of any out there.  Maybe try contacting Roland to see if they know of some where you could sample Neil's sounds or some that are close to his...

Sorry I couldn't help much... thanks for taking the time to write!
