Not sure where the thought came from, but I was thinking about collecting data from members here to calculate what the average drum kit is. Included would be not only sizes, number of drums / cymbals, but positions as well. How high is your throne vs. the height of your snare, etc... Additionally, angles could be included by taking a measurement of the front and back of shells and cymbals.
Anyone interested? In the end we'd have a fairly good representation of what an average kit looks like and how it is set up. Guess I'm kinda curious as to how close / far apart we set our kits up, as well as maybe providing new drummers with a good starting point as to how to set up their kits.
Anyone have thoughts as to how we could effectively collect data? There would be little point in having someone with a 7 or 8 piece kit provide measurements for an 8" tom, so would we start by getting an average configuration then once that is determined we have people submit heights and angles and positioning?
Has anyone ever seen this done?
