Something I've noticed but wasn't sure if it was down to the drummers limb-length or drums, or a combination of, but where do most people's rack toms sit relative to their kick drum?
I've seen some where the high or mid tom is "within" the space of the kick (i.e. it doesn't extend over the batter of the kick drum):
to others some where 50% of the drum is hanging over the batter.
There's lots of factors coming into play I'm guessing - tom-depth and snare-height both would affect how close things could get. Then length of legs (for kick position) and arms (for tom position), and overall height which to an extent dictates how flat you can sit your toms and hit them correctly...
This is purely out of curiosity, not thinking there's a "right" answer
