Can anyone identify this drum?

Can anyone tell me what the drum is mounted on the left. Not the rack tom, the other one! Thanks
 
cant completely tell .. but guess would be a snare or some sort of timbale/ really shallow high tuned tom

if the pic was a bit bigger or closer it'd be easier to see
 
I can't see very clearly, I guess it mounted with RIM mounts, so it's simply fixed to the mount.

I have a a small Yamaha snare drum that has a tom mount (with a hole) on it... this one is different, it's a standard snare drum for what I can tell... albeit a smaller one.
 
Bit weird though right? But I suppose that's what he needs. If he needs 3 snares then he will use 3 snares.

haha, but maybe he has a tom where the primary snare goes!! lol, you can't see behind the rack tom so could be haha
 
I emailed Sterling via his fan site and asked him about this and yes he is using three snares. One primary, one side and a picollo as shown in the picture. He also drums for B52S where he uses two snares. He sometimes takes the snares of so they sound like toms.
 
Looks like a mounted snare or a really shallow tom. Very nice finish however.
