I guess after you play a while, certain things have to be just so in order to make you feel "right" behind your kit. Without sounding too anal, here are mine....
1. I have to have all the logos at the 12 o'clock position when I look at the heads from the drivers seat.
2. I have to have the same resonant heads on all the toms, regardless of the size of the drum. For me, it allows me to tune the drums in the same manner in order to get the same type of character from each drum.
3. I have to have all my cymbals flat. If they're tilted in any way, it bugs me.
4. I have to have the logo on the front of the bass drum PERFECTLY level or else it looks like the drum is tilted a little and that bugs me. Sometimes I stare at the kit after I set up to make sure the logo looks level. I swear it seems that it moves if I walk to the left or right, but usually it's cool and looks perfect.
5. I have to have the crash cymbal on my left and my right the same height or my kit looks off balance and that bothers me.
6. I have to have the same brand of hardware for each stand. Don't know why, just something I like.
7. I have to have a coated head on my snare and one that doesn't have the coating wear off the first time it's played. I can have different batter head brands, for instance, I have clear Remo emperors on the batter of my toms with a coated Evans G2 on my snare. That doesn't bother me.
All in all, not too bad. Ho about you guys?
