what's your drum setup??
 

mine is...
new pearl mmx in diamond burst (10x10, 12x10, 14x14, 22x18) with black hardware, all stands black etc
pearl piccolo snare (13x3)
pearl eliminator double kick
plus red jam block, pearl cowbell and lp tambourine...

pearl exports.. eh, cheap but the mahogany is great:)

anyway, i have a setup very similar to the left side of mike portnoy's siamese monster with the 16x16 floor tom to the side; 8x8, 10x8, and 12x10 all out front and racked, slightly centered; 13x11 (rack tom) and 14x14 (floor tom) to my right as floor toms.

My Premier kit is:
22"bassdrum
12"10"16" toms (I have them in that order to)
14"Snare drum, Pearl Master custom.

My Mapex kit:
18"bassdrum
12"10"14" toms
14" snaredrum, Black Panther.

I have a Tama Star Classic (Birch):

14" floor tom
14" snare (I think, I can't exactly remember)

I have a pearl double kick pedal
