The right foot works the high hat. The guitar he used is a 1963 Fender Jazzmaster with a heritage: originally owned by Lonnie Mack, who gave it to Stevie Ray Vaughan, who gave it to John Reed, who, in turn, gave it to Tore. It is being played through a 1959 Magnatone amp. All of Tore's performances are "live" - he creates the lyrics and music spontaneously, hence, "Spontobeat".
