Over at Drum Workshop's site, there's an article (first in a series) about Neil's new drums. This one focuses on his new 23" bass drum.
"Everybody knows there is no such thing as a 23-inch bass drum."

Nice video from Guitarist magazine detailing Alex's guitar rig and some of his guitars from the Snakes and Arrows tour:
Neil's posted a huge update at his site: The Count of Words
Some tidbits:
The essay for Sankes and Arrows is too big for the booklet, so it'll end up online--3300 words or so.
He's working on a Modern Drummer article and another article will be published in an upcoming issue of Motorcyclist.
Oh, and he's having a new drum set made: "As for the finish and hardware, that’s going to be a surprise. I’ll only say, “Black is the new gold,” and “Red is the new black.”"
Worth a read, as usual.
