@@ramencurry6672and if you don’t have the budget for a Collectors kit, they still have options for you. In my case, I have a Design Series kit in Midnight Blue Satin, and I absolutely love it to death!!! As you say, it is my diamond!!!!!!
great tour, thanks for that. the "what a loss" comment at the end, i simply turn around and say "what a gift to have been alive during the same time as neil, and his music lives forever"
I will never forget the first time I heard Neil play. It was like the first time that I heard music. He was the professor and the surgeon with the drums. His playing really influenced and inspired my playing. I will never forget him.
As soon as I saw Neil's kit, my eyes decided to have a water parade. Honored to have lived in the same time as this great human being. You will always be missed Professor. R.I.P.
I've never owned a DW kit but it's nice to see high level drums still being made in North America and people making a decent wage and enjoying what they do.
A few years ago, I had the honor of being on a small group tour of the factory, led by John. I can attest to the fact that everyone in that factory loves what they do, down to the people sweeping the floors. Oh, and yes Mr. Good actually does know the name and face of everyone who works there.
Wow. That last minute really hit me. Just sitting there looking at what his family, his friends and us fans have lost. He didn't deserve to go so young. Thanks Neil. x
To have the last kit designed, played and owned by the world's greatest drummer on display as a memorial is a testament to Neil, Rush and DWs unselfishness. I pray that I will be able to share Rush's music with my grandchildren and them with theirs. May God Bless the Peart Family, the Rush Organization and DW!!!
Now we see why the drums arent cheap... We as drummers not only get quality in sound, durability and how the drums look...but a vision and legacy lives on every time a drummer buys and plays a dw product. Its not an easy work to get perfect drums...we appreciate all the work behind dw drums. Thank you so much❤
Really enjoyed the tour. I purchased my first set of DW drums in 1994. They where satin oil finish with gold hardware. 22, 10, 12, 14, 16. Purchased the matching snare that was a Craviotto series. The very best drum kit ever...Thank you John for all your hard work and making my life so much better...
Didn't see that coming, hadn't read the comments. Thanks for the tour, it's wonderful to see how it comes together. And to know you have that kit set up . . . that image will stay with me forever. You know, I always feel like it's the 14 year-old me that reacts strongest to Neil's passing, hard to explain. Thanks again Mr. Good for the tour.
Well... great factory Tour. But that ending really hit me in the feels 😭. I'm not so much of a Rush fan personally, but I appreciate how great Neil was at his craft. Still put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Rest In Peace Neil. Respect to John Good and the rest of the DW family from the sunny UK ❤️
DW and Ludwig - two of my fave dream drum brands. I always go back to this video everytime, for both the factory tour and the touching tribute to Neil at the end. May the Professor's legacy live on forever. 🥁🥁🥁
Aside from (still) loving DW Drums, that end part...wow. Just the ever-present evidence that music can move us, and drumming can be such a special art form.
No matter how many times I watch a DW Factory tour video, it always amazes me how they make such awesome drums!!! I have a Design Series kit in Midnight Blue Satin that my dad got me for Christmas in 2019 and I love it to death. And I think I would be a horrible person if I didn’t say Rest In Peace to Neil Peart.
Thank you John Good for everything you do. DW is the pinnacle of drums and hardware. You can tell that everything is done with all consideration for the player. Everything from function, tone, and cosmetics. DW drums certainly make a statement on stage. What a touching tribute to Neil Peart. I hope one day to be able to do a factory tour and stand in the presence of that kit and reflect.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm such a DW fan (and have a lot of my money invested in drums and hardware lol), but it seems like the relationships between ownership, staff, and artists is truly a family environment. I think that was portrayed well at the end with the Professor's kit.
I love my DW kit. five rack toms, three floor toms, Bass, all DW 9000 series hardware and all Paragon cymbals. I am a disciple of the professor. The quality speaks for itself. What a touching end to see Neil's kit where it truly belongs, back home where it was created. We will all miss the master, but his music and spirit will live forever. Such a touching video. You can see how good the employee's are treated and love working there. What a wonderful place.
What a loss... When the door opened and go see "The" kit there, it was like entering a sacred, holy place. No words... RIP Neil. What a great man, musician, song writer.
“You know, I love to tinker. But all the tinkering in the world isn’t useful unless it starts with a good idea. So, look around for a need, and start coming up with ideas to fill that need. One idea will lead to another, and before you know it, you’ve done it!! See a need, fill a need.” I heard that from Bigweld in the movie Robots. And it’s stuck with me a long time!!! And I appreciate people who have that philosophy!!!
seeing neils kit hits hard because if you love DW's neil and DW helped push DW to where it is today wow so many great memories watching youtube vids back in the early 2000's dreaming of owning a dw collectors and actually owning DW collectors . wow thanks neil RIP master
I was wondering how John would honor his friend.... Now I know... With the very ideas that connected them on a spiritual level that they manifested into reality together... Niels drums. Through johns excellence... came neils excellence... All the time both of them giving themselves unselfishly to the art...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... and in that room... My eyes behold the beauty.... Of a true friendship...of witch the world is and will always be... Truly grateful for.. God bless u John and thank u for all u do .. I kneel at DW at the altar of true greatness.... Thank you Neil ... Love Chris 🙏❤️🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦 x
Breathtaking ending! Incredible drums! I'm lucky enough to own two kits, one Collectors in Silver Abalone and a Performance kit in Marine White Pearl. Great kits. Russ played my favorite Stevie Nicks concert back in the day.......! I was blown away by his work on the kit. Awesome!
A friend recommended this video to me, I thought because of all the wonderful “behind the scenes” footage and knowledgeable chat, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Then came the final two minutes and I knew exactly why my friend wanted me to watch. Such an honorable tribute to a man this world could only hold for 67 years. Well done gentlemen. To see that kit and The Professor’s smile beaming from behind it again... your silent reverence was the best tribute, and let the viewer in with you. Miss you Neil.
I wasn’t ready for the end of this video... I was in tears, I used to listen and play rush tunes in my parents laundry room growing up... Neil is the reason I kept pursuing drumming. I didn’t see them live till much later in my life, he was such an intelligent and powerful soul.🙏🏽
Wow, that ending hit me hard. Being a drummer and a huge Rush fan, Mr Peart was a big influence on me. Got to see them 3 times, such a sad loss. I could sit in front of Neil’s kit for hours just taking in all the history behind the years of making a drum kit come alive in the way he did. The factory is something else, what a fantastic place to work and be involved in all that craftsmanship. I’m going to make it my goal to one day visit this place and see where my kit was born. Love and piece to all at DW
@dw drums Amazing how much time is put into the making of a set of drums..just as Neil put in the making of his art into your drums.. God bless you all
Came here to see what was new in the factory. I didn’t realize I’d be spending the last two minutes tearing up looking at a drum set of my number one idol and the reason I play drums. That hit me like a ton of bricks, but in a good way. Thank you DW.
Seeing Neil's kit threw me into a loop knowing that he was an inspiration for all drummers. Looking at his drum kit is almost like getting to see him one last time. Amazing drummer and such an attribute to my drumming and for everyones.
A great vid! Russ is such a gentleman. I met both of these men at my local drum shop's DW day at The Drum Shop in Portland, Maine. I bet they enjoyed the beautiful Maine coast on that stop! (And maybe some lobster too!) I drove two hours for that event down from the midcoast. Such a fun night that was. Oh and such a nice ending to this vid! Teared up a bit.. I knew Neil's passing would be a toughie and he was loved by many, but the Modern Drummer Festival tribute in 2020 really hit home how much people just absolutely admired him including our favorite drum heroes. The way his hands would fly around those many toms, such a thrill! I can still hear them now.....
Thanks to all at Drum Workshop for not just the hard work but your impeccable attention to detail. Also wonderful tribute to Mr. Peart. Looking very forward to see the new life you all will infuse into the Slingerland brand. 🥁🎶
WOW what an awesome tour of their facility. I saw Rush 3 times on the R40 Live Tour, incredible and the 2 kits DW made for Neil for that show are amazing. My favorite was the double bass retro kit.
You can tell Mr good was meant to make drums he so damn passionate about it and lives and dies it …good on you John . I don’t actually play a DW anymore but I still use there hardware and pedals amazing stuff . Great vid 👍🙏
Neil’s kit at the end is gorgeous. Basically have a little museum in that whole room probably. Could’ve done a whole video of just that room and kit alone.
I truly felt as if I was walking into Neil Pearts funeral wake. (That’s what we call it in Canada anyway, before the actual funeral we have a few days of mourning, I’m sure this is common almost everywhere.) and I can’t say how much I appreciate that. Although I never had the chance to shake his hand, he was and is a huge part of my life. This was very touching.
I'm glad to say I got to meet and talk with Neil. I actually worked on his motorcycle he was a very nice guy and invited my wife and I to be his guest at a rush concert
Wow! i did not see the end of the tour coming to such an incredible close !! I am thankful the kit is well protected and couldn't possibly be in better hands unless they were in my own
I just now found this video, and watched it. Loved it. But that ending about Neil Peart really got me. It actually brought me to tears. I almost became a big baby. 😥 I'm 45, and I've been a Neil Peart fan since I was 5. I miss him dearly. I know we all do. Thank you DW for all that you do.
@dw drums precision quality..I used a dw set once in the guitar center drum off in hulen texas..loved the sound and quality.. Always tried to emulate Neil or I mean Rush as well since I was about 13 ..I didn't realize until about that age how the technique I wanted to master which was Rush and Neil RIP brother
Wow, the dramatic music at the end, John putting his hand on Russ's shoulder. Russ is probably thinking "WTF, John!? I've been on way more hit records than The Professor!" LOL
I wish I could make a custom order collector series. It seems to be impossible in The Netherlands. These drums are so amazing, and you got some nice people working at the factory.
I love watching these clips and all the new stuff by dw the problem is i waited 11 months for my kit to arrive as i wanted specific sizes and finish i would love to sell mine and get a new finish but the wait is torture
If I ever go to the DW factory and I see the R40 kit in that showroom, whoever is with me might as well leave, since I’m going to cry harder than ever.
I was lucky enough to do the tour a few years ago whilst on honeymoon in the states. I play a collectors kit here in the uk. I am a normal guy who’s lucky enough to gig a dw kit in small pubs etc in the uk. They treated me and my wife like family when we visited, she now appreciates why my kit was so much money. The attention to detail is staggering. All the staff there spoke to us whilst we were going around the factory. There’s companies who just make stuff to sell and make money. Then there’s companies who put their heart and soul into crafting instruments. If you are ever in California book a tour and go see these masters at work. That tribute at the end was wonderful to see. Well done team dw and especially to John and Don for being at the helm for such a wonderful company. It appears that all the staff he introduced were the same people who were there 5 years ago when we went, speaks volumes.

The ending really hits you hard. The picture of Neil looks as if he is still sitting there with a smile of joy behind them drums.
When did he die
@@impactmusic6009 January 7th 2020
DW drums are like diamonds. They are fine cut jewels fit for kings. When you buy a DW, you know you got a legend

Literally left me in tears What a memorial John made for Neil To have his last kit he made for the professor 🥲🥲🥲
I’m gonna buy a DW snare

It’s because of this video that I decided to buy my first DW kit which I just took delivery a few days ago. Thanks DW!
Awesome! Thanks for the love!
That made me cry. Thank you Professor!

It's hard to even imagine how much Neil affected our lives with his drumming and words. That was a great thing to see.
Thank you
The great thing about DW is that they’re all friends, the artist, and the management.
John is a special guy with a tremendous love for the craft❤️and the professor

You can tell he has a good heart and loves his life
Most definitely is!
The DW is like the Lamborghini of drums. I love seeing the DW brand on my drums. Always gives me a awesome feeling whenever I play!
I play the Design Series kit, and I gotta agree.
The most relaxed drum maker I have ever watched. The end of a generation. My brothers are that age.

Citizens of St Catherines take note. This is how you do a memorial for Neil.
So proud to see all those gifted hands creating wonderful pieces of art.

You are not supposed to be in tears at the end of watching a drum factory tour.
I wish I could make a custom order collector series. It seems to be impossible in The Netherlands.
These drums are so amazing, and you got some nice people working at the factory.
Just reach out to GEWA and you can order a collector's kit. It's custom made so it will take some time to get. 🥁
Awesome! Thank you!

I love watching these clips and all the new stuff by dw the problem is i waited 11 months for my kit to arrive as i wanted specific sizes and finish i would love to sell mine and get a new finish but the wait is torture
Que final tan emotivo con la vista de mi gran influencia en a batería Neil😢
If I ever go to the DW factory and I see the R40 kit in that showroom, whoever is with me might as well leave, since I’m going to cry harder than ever.
