I'm experimenting with a symmetrical drum setup. Toms start at 8" in the middle and proceed in diameter, downward and alternating from left to right (for example, classic "descending fills" can start in the middle and can go in either direction). Each side of the kit has a set of cymbals of equivalent size and function, in the same relative positions.
The main asymmetry is the fact that only my left foot conrols a hi-hat (whereas both feet can play a bass drum note) but I am not $300 interested in correcting that--I do have a mirror-image fixed hi-hat on the right side. What I am finding is that I have weakness or clumsiness in certain ranges of motion, and I am attacking those areas. [/non sequitur]
