I play a 3 piece in a cover band.
There are no right or wrong answers on this. It all depends on the music.
For me personally, I play in a dance-oriented cover band. The last thing the people want or need is to hear me wank across several toms. They want to hear my bass drum, they want to hear the thunk of my snare, and they want to hear a solid, in the pocket, non-interrupted groove. What works best is - my 3 piece. Much fun.
