FS: These are all the same kit?

Chris Adler used the Mapex Black Panther 14x6" Matt Halpern "Wraith" Snare Drum while recording with MEGADETH, as confirmed by Adler himself in an interview with Blabbermouth. He explained, "Right away, that was funny. Because the first thing, when Dave called me to come and do the ['Dystopia'] record with him, I came in with my normal LAMB OF GOD set, with the snare drum, and we started playing a couple of songs. And within maybe a song and a half, he's, like, 'Listen, you're playing great, but that snare drum does not fit MEGADETH.' And so we went and actually used the Mapex Wraith, the Matt Halpern drum, on the MEGADETH record, which fit in much better to that kind of sound."
