UPDATE - 4/11@3:07PM: Actually it turns out that Neil added the Ruby pads to his kit already - midway through the last leg of the tour (looks like at the 10/24 Boston show).

Those of you who pay very close attention to Neil Peart's drum kit may notice something slightly different about his kit on the upcoming 2013 leg of the tour. According to this listing at Dauz Electroic Drums, the kit should be sporting some new custom designed red and copper electronic drum trigger pads:

... This is the EXACT Dauz Pad we custom designed for Neil Peart's new kit.

As you probably know, Rush is gearing up for a huge worldwide tour. Neil asked us to upgrade his current Dauz pad to one that matches his latest red and copper kit. Neil named her "Ruby".

For a very limited time, we are offering our customers who buy direct from Dauz the opportunity to own their own "Ruby".

This unique, one-of-a-kind pad will only be available for a very limited time. We only manufactured a limited amount. So when they are gone...they're gone!

The band is currently in Los Angeles rehearsing for the upcoming tour and next week's Rock Hall induction. Thanks to Michael Y for the heads up.
