The Midnight Oil fan club successfully raised $90,000 through auction and donations to preserve Hirst's black Ludwig drum kit, which powered the band from 1979 to 2022. The funds were split between Support Act and MusicNT's Fix 'Em Up Truck campaign. The kit now sits in the Encore! exhibition at Arts Centre Melbourne.

“I thought it'd be such a shame to see this in someone's shed gathering dust. I think a lot of people who go visit it, and especially those who contributed, are extremely proud that they've done it.”
