Peart used this kit to record during the Burning for Buddy sessions in May 1994. For this session, he used a Ludwig red sparkle kit and his Slingerland "Number One" snare.

Neil ordered the Ludwig kit new in red sparkle and would only use them in the Burning for Buddy sessions. After the sessions, Neil had the kit rewrapped in grey oyster pearl and sent to his childhood friend, Kit Jarvis (one of the kids who saved Neil from drowning as referenced in Traveling Music).

As of April 9, 2023, the drums are being prepared for auction with Heritage Auctions. On the auction page, it's listed as a five-piece kit, including kick drum, snare, two toms, and a floor tom. Zildjian cymbals include: 22" Custom ride, 18" Custom crash, 16" Custom crash, and 14" hi-hats.
