Excellent picture NPG. Carrie must faint everytime she looks at that picture. I got a magazine from Zildjian when Neil was still there. Had a little piece on him about getting a plaque from Zildjian. Way before he went to Sabian. It has a good picture of Neil there too.
Woa, I wonder what the people at Zildjian did or did not do to make Neil bolt like that. He's been a rather faithful Zildjian artist ever since he started with Rush. Of course, this could also signal some studio work? I hope, I hope.... Dang! Well, that's one more reason to go see the boys this summer...check out the new cymbal sounds.

Kael, my feeling is that some of Neil's pals at Zildjian went to Sabian so it was sort of a natural transition. I've meant to start a new thread about the changeover, so look for the link to the article over there. Maybe that will answer some questions for ya.
