RUSH drummer Anika Nilles has teamed with EVANS and ProMark on a limited artist collection of drumheads and signature drumsticks. The products feature her original artwork; the sticks use her signature profile with a thicker diameter, which Nilles said is intended to add energy and power for the band.
RUSH drummer Anika Nilles has teamed with EVANS and ProMark on a limited artist collection of drumheads and signature drumsticks, bringing her original artwork and tour-linked equipment designs to products available through D’Addario. The announcement connects the collection to Nilles’ current kit for RUSH’s “Fifty Something” reunion tour.
The collection includes EVANS drumheads featuring Nilles’ artwork, which the source report says also appears on the kit she is using on the reunion tour. It also includes ProMark signature sticks decorated with her original art. The report describes the release as a limited artist collection and says it is available for purchase through D’Addario.
Nilles said she views drumheads as a surface for drawing and doodling, and wanted a familiar design on her tour kit. She said the sticks retain her signature stick profile but have a thicker diameter. According to Nilles, that change is intended to add energy and provide the power RUSH needs.
The report does not provide product specifications, pricing, a release quantity or an end date for availability. It also does not say whether every item in the collection matches equipment used on the tour, beyond the stated link between the artwork and her kit.
Tour Artwork Becomes Artist Gear
The collection gives fans and drummers a way to buy equipment associated with Nilles’ current work with RUSH, while also making her original artwork part of the product design. For players, the announcement offers a practical detail as well as a visual one: the sticks use her established profile with a thicker diameter, a change she says is tailored to the band’s needs.
The collaboration also places Nilles’ creative identity across two parts of a drum setup: the heads and the sticks. The products are not described as a new instrument technology or a change to RUSH’s touring lineup; the news is a limited merchandise and equipment release connected to her role on the tour.

Nilles on RUSH’s Reunion Tour
RUSH is currently performing its “Fifty Something” reunion tour, with Nilles on drums. The collection’s artwork is linked to the kit she is using on that tour, according to the report. That connection supplies the immediate setting for the release rather than presenting the products as a standalone collaboration unrelated to her current work.
The band has also announced a five-date Las Vegas Sphere residency titled “Elevate from the Norm,” scheduled for May 2027, the report says. That residency is separate from the product announcement. The source material does not state that the collection will be sold at the residency or that its availability is tied to any particular tour date.
““Drumheads are like a canvas to me. I love drawing and doodling on them, so I thought it would be nice to have something familiar for me on my tour kit.””
— Anika Nilles
Pricing and Availability Details
The source report says the collection is available through D’Addario, but it does not list prices, stock levels, product dimensions beyond the sticks’ thicker diameter, or how long the limited release will remain available. The exact number of items produced is also not given.
The report does not specify whether the drumheads and sticks are being offered in multiple designs or configurations, or whether the artwork differs across products. Those details should not be inferred from the description of the collection.
Where to Find the Collection
Readers interested in the products can check D’Addario’s sales channels for current availability and product specifications. The source report does not identify a later launch date or a planned restock, so availability details may depend on the retailer’s listings.
RUSH’s reunion tour is ongoing, and its announced five-date Sphere residency is scheduled for May 2027. No further collection-related events, tour tie-ins or product announcements are confirmed in the supplied report.
