Muffled and clear double ply batters, clear single ply resonants. Tune the resonants to their lowest clear pitch, and tune the batters a minor third -- a perfect fourth below.

Unless you asked Sean Reinert (drummer prodigy previously from Death ) and the sound engineer that helped create and develop the sound, you probably wont ever truly know. Could be a lot of junk sugaring the sound.

Live it looks like coated double-ply's with single clear reso's.

I'm sure he's got a website.

yeah...here...

Message him and see if he'll tell you.

from the youtube clip, freeze frame at 0:19. His hardware from the suspended floor tom on his left suggests that its a Sonor sq2. I'd guess probably scandanavian birch with a golden madrone finish. Don't want to burst your bubble, but if you want that kit, it's going to set you back at least 7 or 8 large for a basic setup.
