Is it me or is that woodhoop just about cracked?
How about 2 rack toms to the right of the bass for lefties like me?

Naw, just looks like a panoramic shot stringing together multiple pictures imperfectly.
Sorry, that's not allowed. You'll have to start you're own thread.
Lovely kit though!

Hey. Lefties have RIGHTS too!
I just discovered this setup only a few days ago, and it makes things so much easier.
But like Dignan, my hats are a little further than I'd like. Maybe I'll just ditch one of the toms.

Are both of your mounted toms the same size? Might just be the angle or my bad vision
They either look the same size or I'm guessing 12" and 13"? I tried this set up with 12" and 13" on my old kit. Just didn't work for me. Just too crowded. With a 10" and 12" its a little more manageable.
Curiosity sake:
How many of you using this type of setup, play open handed?
From the last few days of playing this way, it looks as though I need to alter the setup a bit. As comfortable as everything else with this configuration is for me, the hats are just a bit further away than I'd like.
Choices:
- Move the 13" tom to the floor, by the 16"
- Replace the 12" with a 8" or 10"
- Learn to play Open <*GULP*>
- Move to a 20" Bass Drum
- Buy a longer sticks
- Mount hats on Bass Drum & use remote

I don't play open handed naturally, but do a lot of open handed stuff on a set up like this. Both hands can easily reach the hats and both cymbals.
You left out an option:
7. Raise the rack toms and move them over
I would say number one is your best option. I do this with my 12" when it feels too crowded up top sometimes. It also depends on what kind of music you play. If your playing calls for a lot of rolls down the toms then you may want to keep them up top. If you play more jazz, gospel or linear stuff then you can get away with one up two down easier
