I searched but failed. Can someone help me identify the headphones used in this clip?

Thanks! If there isn't a thread like this already (which I highly doubt but I couldn't find one in 10 minutes of searching) maybe we could make a fun game out of it?
 
AKG?

Can't ID the drummer's set yet.


Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones.

They look to be based on the Leight L3* - don't expect a lot of fidelity or comfort. But they'll isolate better than most IEMs.

* I own these, for running my snow-blower or lawn-mower (depending on season). They're passive isolation muffs with one of the highest NRRs available; you can read about all of that boring-ness here: http://www.howardleight.com/ear-muffs/leightning-l3 (They cost a lot less than Leight's marketing would lead you to believe). They shame the QC15 when it comes to eating external noise too. But that's the point.

I actually would suggest them if you have to use noisy equipment relatively often - they're uncomfortable in the heat, but the "I want to take these off" usually correlates with "I should take a break" anyways; in the cold they're not bad for what they are.

Also this thread reminded me - I need to get new passive plugs for my morning commute! Thanks!
