How many of you are left handed? Do you position your sets opposite of right handers?

I'm actually right handed. But I am teaching my stepson to play. We just bought a Gretsch Catalina Maple, and i have it configured the way I have always played, and it dawned on me when I saw Phil Collins setup that since he is left handed, he may need it in that opposite configuration. I notice him trying to play the hat with his left hand alot.
So if he plays open, should I move the ride cymbal to the left?
I think it is important to be comfortable and to not play something that just does not feel correct. But this is an interesting thread. I have had several left handed students over the years and it is always a big issue.
