Yes, actually.

#1: The symmetrical setup. This is mainly made possible by my main hi-hat being cable-controlled (a remote hi-hat allows the pedal placement to be independant of where the actual cymbals are located). I'm using a 12-inch "power depth" rack tom (from the 1980s) as my left-side "floor" tom.

#2: The symmetrical setup, top (diagrammatic) view.

#3: I was quite proud of this symmetrical hardware configuration. Note that the tom-mounting hardware hangs off the back of the rack, and is arranged in an an arc--allowing the snare drum to be surrounded by toms. I like this kind of placement because the drums are easy to reach.

#4: Last picture is a fairly standard setup with the same drums. Using a 16-inch floor tom here, and a Sabian "Rocktagon" as the ride cymbal.
