Everything has a functional symmetry: my snare is directly in front of me, with a bass drum pedal either side. My 10" and 12" toms are directly in front of that. The right and left hands each have a group consisting of: 13" high-hats, a 12" china, and an 18" crash. To the left of my left-hand high-hat there is a 10" snare (or high tom). To the right of my right-hand high-hat there is a 14" tom. The right-hand side also has an 18" ride and a 16" crash; ideally my left-hand side would have these options as well (pending space/hardware constraints). The purposes of this setup are to encourage balance between my left and right hands (specifically to encourage my left hand technique), and to provide a symmetry to encourage balanced left and right foot patterns as I develop double bass technique. Oh, and that big thing right in the middle is a 22" china with a 10" splash upside-down directly on top of it; a dark, trashy sound with no sustain. It's not really necessary, but I have a cymbal stand on the top of my double-tom mount. At a gig, I would probably just have a 12" splash there. Quote:
