New studio tools for Bryan Devendorf & @ntnl! 13x20 9x13 16x16 #maplegum ||

This C&C Maple Custom kit with Black Oyster wrapping in sizes: 20x14/13x9/16x16 has been Bryan's touring kit for several years and can still be seen in many of the band's most recent live performances. It is unlikely that he actually uses an 18x16 floor tom, as purported by C&C (I suspect this to be an honest typo) as that size probably wouldn't really fit the musical context. Bryan might switch snares every now and then, but that's difficult to verify. Since 2016/2017 he has also been incorporating electronic drums into his accoustic setup, which can sometimes be spotted in close-ups and heard throughout a live set.

The hi-hats can be seen in countless live videos of The National performing. This model of hi-hats is easily recognized by the unfinished 'rough' surface of the top cymbal.
