alot of the cymbals will be repeats though - i can spot about 3sets already  (Edit: yea some toms are repeated aswell, but the skins can be tuned differently).
Plus it looks like he has two kits anyways - one being a percussion section (the right bit) and the real kit to the left. If it is one kit, then i dont understand why he has two kick drums as he can only play 2 at a time - unless he has a slave on two of the kick drums to make use of all 3 of them 
impressive eitherway, but i doubt he uses all of it...it seems more for show than anything And Lars Ulrich (Metallica drummer) is alot better than this dude

he uses every part of it so i have been told. Hes one of the best, most talented drummers in the world. He jumps between the stools like something out of the matrix.

well i know jack shite about him, but you need to watch some of the videos of metallica and some of their on tour stuff...Lars just plummels his kit, and i believe he did hold some kind of record at one point (forgetten what though ).
but im still curious to how he uses it all - means theres cymbals that are waaayyy too far out of reach (look on the right, near the kick drum, go back a bit...cymbals near the floor etc).
Although its impressive IF he does use of all it....considering most bands would just use a percussionist ontop of the drummer ie: which seems what this guy is doing - percussion and drums etc
