“It is. It’s the Black Brass, a 14" and I’ve also got the 13" G Maple. That Black Brass snare is insane, it’s so loud. Previously I had a Vinnie Paul Pearl snare, the 8” deep one that was like snakeskin. I loved it.

“I put a heavyweight head on it and it sounded so fat. SJC tried replicating it for me but we couldn’t ever get that sound. I went to Headstock and they gave me the Black Brass, we put a heavy head on it and it sounded great.

“We put a little Moon Gel on it and this thing that’s like an O ring, called a Big Fat Snare Drum, it sounds wicked. It gives it this big, dead sound. I don’t want my drums to ring or sound tinny.”

At 4:40 of this video clip provided by Gear Gods and from their "RIGGED" series, Nick Pierce, 2016 Drummer of Unearth shows off his Tama Starclassic Performer Bubinga/Birch 4 pc Shell Pack Transparent PS42S.

"Tom sizes are 10, 12, 16, and 22x20 kick."

"Great sounding drums. The mix of the bubinga and birch gives it a great pop. The initial attack right off of the drums is incredible. They're perfect for metal. However they engineered these things, they did it for just what I do.It's an incredible sounding kit. They are really big sounding. They have a real quick sustain. They get into the mix and get out right when you want them."

"So, for heads on the drums I'm using Evans EC2's for batters all across the top and then on bottoms I'm using Evans G1's. For the Snare drum, that's a Tama SLP 13x7 G Maple Snare. I've got an Evans Hybrid on top.
