Yes, but I'm not so sure how much it just age and how much is circumstance.
As I was getting into drums, and before I really knew much about them, I come across so many pictures of guys with big kits.
Steve Smith with Journey and his 9 pc set up.
Keith Moon and Kenny Jones of The Who, both with massive set ups.
Gil Moore with Triumph, and of course,
Neil Peart, as I was already a huge Rush fan long before I took up the drums.
So I got into drums with this concept that big kits was preferable for most of the bands I listened to.
Although I started with a 5pc.
Eventually, I did buy a big double bass kit and had it all on a rack. I loved it! I and I played it a lot.
But when the reality of giging came along.
For cover bands and pick up gigs, a 4pc was all that was practical.
Once I started gig a lot with my original band, I noticed not every stage really had the room for the big kit. And I didn't want to change my approach to the songs depending on how many drums I could fit on the stage that night. So I scaled back to a 5 pc and never touched my 2nd kick or other tom for almost 10 years.
When I built my own studio, I could set up the large kit again, and i even added to it, and it was fun for a while.
But then I joined another band, and a large kit wasn't needed.
Earlier this year, I set up my large kit, and was working on some songs that seemed to lend themselves to a large kit (prog-metal). But the recording weren't coming along, and I was getting frustrated with my drumming.
Then I had to go back to the small kit for a video shoot, and wow, suddenly, I felt so much more at ease!
So I re-recorded the prog-metal songs on a 5pc and suddenly the drum parts felt better.
At this point, the large kit is stacked in the corner, and I'm just using a 5 pc.
But I'm not so sure how much is age, maturity, or that I'm just so used to a smaller kit, that the large set up feels too awkward now.
On the other hand, while I only use a 5pc, I can't help myself from adding a few effects cymbals to my kit, and in that respect, my kit has actually grown.
