TD20 setup positions

[BlickemBlickem]

Can anyone give me some good tips on the best way to place all the drums / cymbals on the TD20 ? I seem to get the snare/kick/hi hat and then all the toms seem to be lost to the right side. Thanks for any tips on what is a good setup. My current position has the kick at 12 o clock and me facing the snare at 11 so the low toms seem like a twist to get to.

I like to play with the bass drum quite a stretch from me (think I inherited this from having rack mounted toms at an early age).

Now however with the relatively smaller toms on the td20 I DO find interferance with the bass drum assembly and the right front leg of the rack.

My current tom set up is 2 up and 2 down. First two symetrical above the snare - two down to the right. Bass drum at a reach from the central throne.

Maybe I should rejigg all to the left hand side and offset the interference?

I have a pic of my setup in this post:

My arms are short, so I have a pretty tight set up.

thanks for the pic but how do you get to that far right tom? i think it would be a big twist

I don't sit that close in, so it's not really much of a twist.

If you watch my TD20 vid you will see my setup. I feel its a very natural way to play, no twists in the body and all the pedals line up with my feet the way my legs go out.

there is some twist going to the low toms but it looks like a very nice setup. thanks !
