Trying not to be too hard on myself since I've only had the full kit assembled since Friday night, but while I'm trying to be ergonomic about everything since I'm old and have to be ergonomic, I'm not feeling this placement.

Pardon the hole in the seat but it was only $35 and I can get a cover
My main issue is the distance between the rack and floor tom. If I raise my rack tom and the rims of it and the snare drum aren't that close, I'm all about shells and rims on rolls. In my previous drummer life, I got around it by sitting way above my drums and an extreme angle on the rack, but with the recommended 90-100 degree angles for your legs, it's not so easy to line them up, and I created lots of dentage in the tom head sp I'm trying to keep the angle more reasonable now. That means my floor tom is in a really bad place since I like to scrunch drums up as close together as humanly possible. I'd like to get the rack tom closer to the center of the bass drum, but again, shells and rims.
Also trying to tweak cymbal placement and haven't got there yet, but the main issue is the rack and floor toms vs shells and rims. Any suggestions?
