Since my set-up is changing every week I have been waiting for a while to post it. I finally had the courage downsize it a lot today. After I saw all those little kits here on the forum I thought it might stimulate my creativity and skills in playing with dynamics and such.
Here are the specs of what I own:
Tama Rockstar:
22x14 Kick
14x6.5 Snare
10x9 Rack Tom
12x10 Rack Tom
14x12 Rack Tom
Tama Imperialstar:
14x10 Rack Tom
15x11 Rack Tom
Cymbals:
14" Paiste 302 Hats
16" Pearl Crash
16" Wuhan Rock Crash
16" Stagg Brilliant Hammered Crash
20" Pearl Ride
7" Pearl Bell
Hardware
Pearl Eliminator Pedal (red cam)
Some double braced stands
A few single braced stands
The cheapest throne ever
Ok, so here are some pictures, the smallest set-up being the current one.

Thank you for the comment :), I think this set-up will be very comfortable but I don't know yet. Today I was gone the whole day, and now it's way to late for drumming. I love my finish aswell, I am thinking about finding some white rims for my basedrum and a white resonant head, so I get the look of those white Starclassics. But before it's time for such an upgrade the cymbals need to be upgraded.

*** I would just love to get more people's honest comment on my kit. Maybe it's not really worth showing, but I would just love to know what you all think about it...

I recently switched to a similar set up. I noticed in the first pic you have two toms,what was your reason for moving it? Im finding that my hihat is a bit far away than i like because of the tom position :S BUt apart from that its loads beter. Nice kit though man seriously,very nice. An btw i prefer bigger kits myself,as yes you are more creative with a smaller kit,but with a bigger kit you have more creative options :D
is there anyone else that prefer smallrs kits (as in 5-6 peices not sizes) for the creativity or more creative options??? i wana know lol

Thnx for your comments :).
I myself really like small kits, but not always. I have played the 4 piece for two weeks and just switched back this morning to a 2 up 1 down setup. I noticed I have already gained creativity and variation in my playing. Maybe I'll switch back to a 4 piece this week, because it gives me a much more natural feel in placing my racktom.
