Pierre Martin's
Tama Starclassic Performer drum kit clearly reflects a Neil Peart-inspired setup
with acoustic and satellite electronic kits -- as well as acoustic percussion. In addition to having a
very cool
drum kit, Pierre is also quite proficient at playing Neil's drum parts. I've
included a few videos on this page, but be sure to check out
Pierre's YouTube page that
includes over 20 videos of him playing along to Rush tracks (and a few other
bands).
"Drumming has been a hobby
of mine for the past 30 years. My main influence and favorite drummer is, of
course, The Professor! Over the years, I have had several kits arranged in a
similar setup as Neil. At the moment, I do have a Tama Starclassic Performer
assembled as his DW kit, and a satellite Roland V-Session electronic set as
well. The entire setup includes also a bunch of acoustic percussion accessories
like wind chimes, cowbells, blocks, etc. The set of cymbals is one of the 30
"2112" Sabian Paragon sets ever made (the set that came with 2 10" splashes and
a bunch of other goodies!)."
