Rack toms spaced out a little further than usual, to get a mic in on the snare - typically ran into that problem when rockin' the 2 racks in this config., snare mic placement was tricky.

And as an added bonus, a track that was recorded at this session:

I tend to have the snare mic placed to the left of the 1st rack, beside/underneath the hats. It's a little tricky to get it exactly right but it's the best position I've found for it.

Most sound guys would do what you wrote, my hats aren't that high, so getting a decent angle on the mic was tricky, alright for live settings, but not-so-much for recording purposes.

For what it's worth, I don't double bass, and I like my hats as close as possible.

you can double bass and have close hats.

and i did have a 2 on the left but now i like my swapped pedal set up.

actually rocking a 2 up 2 down now and moved the 16 crash where the 18 is, and moved the 18 over the 2 down so i dont have to try and snap back so fast when i do a fill down low. but this is pretty much what i rock

Anyone got any more pictures?

I'm looking at buying my kit either next week or the week after so I need some more good pictures before then!

I'm particularly interested in how you've got the two toms mounted and preferably if that same mounting system also has a crash coming of it :)

I know its a lot to ask :)

Many thanks guys!
