Larry Mullen, Jr.'s Drum Sets
From Mullen's drum tech Sam O’Sullivan: "Larry’s kit is called the PHX, the Phoenix. It’s an amazing Yamaha kit which is a hybrid of different woods - maple, ash, kapur, jatoba - from different countries, and the sound is absolutely phenomenal. The kick drum is a 24", so it’s a big baby, 14" rack and two 16" floor toms and the Ludwig Black Beauty which is 14"x6.5".
