As far as I recall they only produced 30.

The price tag you ask? $30,000 USD!

Equipped with 24k gold plating, black glitter paint - you name it.

Very nice indeed! Bruce, a nice set of Drum Workshop (DW) - will cost you around $3,000, without Neil Peart's signature of course, but nevertheless you can sound like him!

I knew you'd like it

As of late, I have been putting serious thought into taking up drumming, but my current residence holds me back (shared by other occupants)

Yet again, I don't play this instrument, but I'd love to have one anyway.

With the company's future undecided, it could be a collectors piece!

WAL 5-string Fretless bass

Another thing about his drum set for the 30th anniversary tour: When it came to pick up the colors, he was inpired in the black and red interior of his BMW Z8!

Yup! Take a look at the cover of his book 'Traveling Music'

On a side note, I'm not sure if you knew this or not, but Peart's got a huge car collection (including a DB9, a Testarossa, etc )

It's also cool that his 30th anny kit is inspired by Keith Moon's kit.

WAL 5-string Fretless bass

I'm not too fond of 5- or 6-string Bass, those extra strings are pretty useless unless you need them to cheat at playing Geddy Lee's songs

. You won't see the master (Geddy) playing with more than just 4 strings.

Here's my dream bass guitar:

But Geddy used a 5-string Wal on the song 'Lock & Key'!

That's the only time though
