As a young man Neil was inspired by the Jazz drummers Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. In later years Keith Moon of The Who and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin were also his inspiration.
The size of a Rush drum set can vary depending on the specific configuration used by the band's drummer, Neil Peart. Typically, a standard drum set for rock bands includes a bass drum (usually 22 inches), snare drum (14 inches), and various toms (commonly 10, 12, and 16 inches). Peart was known for his elaborate setups, often including multiple toms and cymbals, which could lead to a larger overall size compared to standard kits. For accurate dimensions, it's best to refer to specific concert setups or drumming manuals related to Neil Peart's equipment.
The biggest packaged drum sets would have eight or nine drums, depending on how many floor toms you get. Seriously huge rigs like Neil Peart or Nicko McBrain have are custom ordered, and when you custom-order a drum set it can be as big as you like.
The most basic drum kit is a 4-piece: snare drum, bass drum, mounted/rack tom, and a floor tom. Also, 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash cymbal, and a 20" ride are pretty standard. The sizes aren't that important, but these sizes are the most common. It's possible to get by without a floor tom or a ride cymbal if absolutely necessary, but the set up listed is pretty bare boned as it is.
Michael Portnoy's "Mirage Monster" is a 20-piece kit. A few guys had really large kits--Neil Peart, Joey Jordison and John Dolmayan come to mind--but Portnoy's is the king. At least one of Portnoy's kits was designed so that two players could play it at the same time--this for drum duets during Dream Theater shows. Now, if you'd included players who weren't in any one band, Terry Bozzio's got probably the biggest kit going--the "SS Bozzio." -If I'm not mistaken, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has a Guinness Book of World Records entry for playing the largest drum kit consisting of 308 pieces. Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa et al) presently tours with this kit. Not sure how big, but daunting to say the least. 21 foot pedals help run this monster

A tuba. There's really no such thing as a "standard" drum set. Charlie Watts and Neil Peart are both drummers, but Charlie uses a four-piece drum set and Neil uses forty or fifty pieces.
