A Legendary Kit. A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity.

I think I'll pass though only 30 made but, well, it's 120K... Bit steep.

That's stunningly beautiful. This has just made the list of items I will buy when I win the Euromillions. I can't be too needy a person as the list is quite short. So far it comprises:

A Routemaster bus. Preferably in Alexander's livery.
A Rickenbacker 4080 double neck. Actually probably two. One black, one white.
A nice boat. Nothing showy, just safe and comfortable.
Regular visits to music stores to buy things I become drawn to.

I suppose the very nice house and car would be a probable early decision but I would definitely keep my home. I think I'm always going to be gravitationally drawn to this place. Buying out near neighbours would be a very attractive proposition though. With regards to car purchases, those would be entirely different choices from those of ten years ago or so. Can't imagine that Ferraris are much fun with all the potholes and massively increased traffic numbers. The hypocrite in me would probably also occasionally charter a private jet for me and friends to enjoy some sunnier times. Hmmm! Needier, greedier than I thought.

That's a nice kit, although it could be improved with a second bass drum

It's unplayable, Peart's set up was very personal. The cymbals, I never got those either. I like Sabian, I play Sabian but the Paragon series is designed for the big stage, they are bulky, hravy and it takes quite some force to open them up. It's oversized for 'regular' use. Don't try using them in your local bar, you'll drown out the rest of the band.

But yes, it looks nice, as a museum piece.
