With a set up like this, you don't really do 'down the drums" type fills.
If you are that type of player, or like fills that are more "drummy", rather than something that just fits in the groove, then it's not going to be what you'd like for a set-up.
With the toms like this (low) and things grouped like JW has on this kit, it's more of a "go this way" or "that way" when doing "fills".
His kick is a 16x26. The snares are 5x16 & a 12x14 marching snare. The front tom is a 5x16 too.
I play a 26 on most of my kits (have a 28 too), and sometimes the toms are level with the kick, sometimes not.
It depends on how I feel at the time. It's pretty comfortable too, no worse than anything else.
It does move the tom over, but since I'm not really a 'down the toms' type player much anyway, it isn't a problem.
Only using 2 cymbals is fun too.
Sometimes I use 4 ft's on the kit, and with 2 on each side it seems more natural feeling going to my left than the right...even though when I only use 2 or 3, it feels normal going to the right. It's hard to explain, but it's fun.
There have been a couple other drummers I've liked that have this kind of kit.
Gregg Potter, and Vic Foxx (The Veronicas, Vince Neil, Enuff Z Nuff) come to mind.
Cool pics people posted.
