Ross Federman's Gear
Hiddeninthesand.com lists this kit in a list of Tally Hall's equipment.
"Ross plays a 5-piece Pearl Reference kit in Granite Sparkle."
Ross Federman used these headphones at a 2021 DJ concert for Sonic Lunch's Sonic Disco event.
In Ross's 2005/2006 bio on tallyhall.com, he lists his drumset as a Pearl Session kit.
"drumset: pearl session (replace with "yamaha" as soon as i purchase a new one)"
Used by Ross as the character of Hot Rod Duncan from Tally Hall's 2007 SXSW video, best visible on a newspaper at 0:52.
This photo from the recording of 2005's Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum shows Ross using a pair of Direct Sound EX-29 headphones.
At 3:00, Tony Hoffer is shown setting up the SP-1200 for Ross Federman to use.
At live shows, Ross would use a Roland SPD-S Sampling Percussion Pad to trigger sound effects that are present in the album recordings of Tally Hall's songs but not possible to make live.
Ross and the rest of Tally Hall often used a vibraslap named Henry at live shows, more often at acoustic shows.
Ross used these bongos in most live acoustic performances in his career.

In this photo, Ross can be seen using the Telefunken ELA M 251. Because of the lack of the "E" engraving that the 251E model has, it can be confirmed that this is the original ELA M 251.
