Specified on page 46 of Modern Drummer #395 (October 2009).
Tony Allen plays Pearl Masters Custom Extra drums (6 1/2 x14 wood snare, 12" and 14" rack toms, 16" floor tom, 22" bass drum), Zildjian cymbals (14" ZBT hi-hats, 17" A thin crash, 20" A medium ride), Pearl hardware, Remo Pinstripe batter heads, and Vic Firth or Zildjian sticks (“5B in my right hand and upside down, in my left hand—it gives a good touch," Tony says).
Whether or not it is coated is unspecified. However, a picture of Allen's kit on the bottom of the same page shows that it is coated.
Once used for Allen's tom, as is visible on page 45 of Modern Drummer #359 (October 2009).
