I'm a drummer and I prefer Larry's drumming and set ups any day to what Peart has. He's obviously a great drummer. Just not a big Rush fan, I can't take them seriously. I like Larry's latest set up, with the ride in front since the War tour (i'm pretty sure). I'm glad to see him using a new kit after using the white Yamaha one for two albums/tours in a row. I like seeing a new kit for each tour ala Zoo TV and PopMart, that Popmart set was awesomeOriginally posted by thefly07:[..]
one more thing, what exactly is the point of Larry using that electronic drum for the "Sound" part of Boots? I think it would be better if he just kept time with it, that hip hop beat just snare, hi hat and bass drum. I can't particularly tell a difference when he's using that pad or whatever

1) He might be setting off the sample loop with the Roland pad.
2) And it gives him something to do while standing and singing the backup vocal - and hence it DOES add a bit of a visual element.

I knew about his mad finger-picking skills though. I wonder if hes buddies with Mark Knopfler?

I'll grant you it does add a visual element, I just think he would look cooler rockin' out on his kit versus standing there banging on a drum. not trying to sound like I'm being too critical, just seemed odd

In your humble opionion it might seem odd. And in the humble opinion of others it might not seem odd.
The only opinion that matters is Larry's and Larry has been REALLY good at being LARRY for a long time. And if he thought it was lame, embarrassing, foolish, silly... Larry being Larry - he wouldn't do it.
put things back in perspective for me Originally posted by LikeASong:I will eat my hat if Edge didn't use a Les Paul for Unknown Caller.
