Seems from all of the video evidence, that Larry was using a black oyster Ludwig drum kit, Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum and Zildjian cymbals for some if not the majority of the acoustic drums on the album.

Olympic Studios. December 2008.
Although you can see in the Olympic photo, that Larry had other drums available in the studio but it does appear that the Ludwig kit.
My question is: New or vintage? Maybe they were a birthday gift of vintage drums from the wife or band members?
Interesting he's kept the Ludwig Black Beauty as his tour snare. Not a bad choice. Ask any drummer and if they know what they are talking about, they will tell you that Ludwig Black Beauty snares are great and highly prized.
Wonder why the turn away from Brady snare drums, which he's used for 20 years, (starting during Lovetown tour 1989)? Only guess is that the Black Beauty seemed that much better to Larry.
