Two custom DW Collector's Series kits made from 1500-year-old Romanian River Oak (dyed black pearl finish)
Main modern kit with intricate Rush album artwork inlays and gold hardware
Retro kit (smaller configuration switched to mid-show for older material)
Sabian Paragon Brilliant cymbals
ProMark Shira Kashi Oak 747 sticks (signature model with custom R40 variant)
The R40 tour celebrated Rush's 40+ year history with a "rewind" theme. Stage props, backline amps, and gear changed throughout the show to reflect different eras, ending with a simple school-gym setup.
