Lately i've noticed more and more drummers arranging their multi- tom arrays in haphazzard order from left to right. The only odd thing i do is swing my biggest floor tom over to the far left side to encourage ambidexerity (also, i played the tri-toms, quads and quints back in High school marching band and the big one is always on the opposite side so that the rig was somewhat balanced in the middle). So my Tom-toms from left to right go: 18", 8",10" 12", 13",14", and 16". I've seen a bunch of guys who have several toms throw them in a random pattern like 16", 8", 10" 14" 13"16" or other crazy arrangements. Does anyone set theirs up crazy like this and if so, why? Just curios.
