For me it depends on which kit I use and the configuration I choose from 4 piece up to 8 piece.
But for consistency's sake I'll talk about the two kits I have in a 5 piece configuration like John Bonham's
The old rusty and trusty cheap kit takes me about 15 min. Mainly because the hardware is pretty simple, the kit is light and most of all I do not have cases for it.
The newer Ludwig kit that I have can take up to 25 min because I've got soft cases for each drum (and taking drums out of the cases and putting cases away adds at least 5 min). I have a lot of memory locks for the hardware so that makes up for the time "lost" dealing with the cases. I also pay more attention to not scratch the kit while setting up so I move a bit slower when moving and setting it up.
