At the time of writing (Summer 2005), Theodore's kit setup is as follows:

Drums: Fibes (clear acrilyc shells)
A. 6½ x 14 Ludwig Supraphonic 400 snare
B. 10 x 14 tom
C. 16 x 16 floor tom
D. 16 x 18 floor tom
E. 14 x 26 bass drum

Cymbals: Zildjian
1. 13" hi-hats (K top, New Beat top for bottom)
2. 19" A Custom Projection crash
3. 21" A sweet ride with four rivets
4. a selection of stacked broken cymbals with many rivets
5. 19" A medium-thin crash

Hardware: DW 5000 kick pedal and whatever cymbal/hihat stands that can go high enough.

Heads: Remo coated Ambassador on snare batter, CS black dots on tom and bass drum batters, clear Ambassadors on bottoms of toms and on front of bass drum.

Sticks: Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5B model (hickory with wood tip).

Yeah, what impresses me is his ability to write some pretty high paced stuff in some weird time signatures (especially off Frances the Mute since Deloused had more 4-4 in it but still had some experimental stuff).
I think they're a band who u can't really classify under any Genre. My fav lick of his is probably the groove in the post chorus in Drunkship of the Lanterns just after the highhat part (with one of Omar Rodriguez's omgspazattack riffs)
