From 2007 to 2011, Zach Hill used the Pearl Rhythm Traveler drum set, as seen in the YouTube video "Marnie Stern - Vibrational Match" by Clay Hawkley. After 2011, he transitioned to using Yamaha drums.
“The snare is stainless steel as well, and both were made for me by Gregg Keplinger.“

In a photo on Photobucket, Zach Hill is shown using a Zildjian ZBT China Cymbal, positioned slightly to the right in his setup.
Throughout the video he uses what is presumed to be these hi hats, due to the edge being a different colour from the bow and bell which is intensely darker and unlathed look from the rest of the hat. You can also see there is a wide logo present 29:37 which is different from the K logo where the 14.25 Hybrid K Custom (which is a similar looking cymbal) is not present.
