The Final Beat of a Rock Legend

Step into rock history with one of the most significant pieces of drumming heritage ever offered — Alex Van Halen’s 2015 Last-Ever Van Halen Tour Drum Kit.

This extraordinary Ludwig Classic Maple kit was commissioned exclusively for Van Halen’s final North American tour. Custom finished in radiant chrome and copper by legendary drum artist John “JD” Douglas, the set reflects the raw power, precision, and artistry that defined Alex Van Halen’s career.

Used as Alex’s B-Kit, this drum set was part of his onstage rotation — one of two identical kits built to ensure seamless transitions between tour stops. His “A” kit was sold in 2024, making this the only remaining tour-played kit from Van Halen’s historic final run.

A Monument to Music History

On October 4, 2015, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Alex Van Halen struck the final notes of “Jump” — closing the curtain on a 40-year legacy of thunderous rhythm and electrifying performances.
This very kit was there — a silent witness to the end of one of the most influential eras in rock and roll.

From the explosive energy of “Panama” to the anthemic resonance of “Hot for Teacher,” this instrument embodies the heartbeat of Van Halen. It is not merely a drum kit — it is the physical manifestation of a lifetime of musical mastery.
