Best Size For Drum Kits? - 4 vs 5 vs 6 Piece Drum Sets

After watching this video, I'm going to reduce my six-piece kit to a four piece and see what I can do. I have too many drums in my kit. And the problem when you have so many drums I just am realizing is that you feel the need to use them all, all of the time lol. Yeah, time to learn how to groove instead of hit a bunch of drums.

Man been questioning about it and here your are! Thanks man

5 pc is happy medium ... I think on 6 pc, the 16 inch tom gets neglected already ...

I love the 6 piece kit I have. I used to play an 8 piece but that started to be to much. I use 10" 12" 14" rack toms and an 18" floor tom but I still have my 8" rack tom and 16" bass drum converted to a rack tom if I ever need more options. I personally find playing with two floor toms to be fun but also strenuous on my back so I only use one.

whats your honest opinion on what kit should I buy for a studio/rehersal space setup (most likely wont ever travel) between the yamaha stage custom birch or a tama superstar hyper duo? I live in México so I would end up paying about double of U.S msrp for any of them. also I play guitar not drums but I want get a kit that an experienced drumer would feel confortable playing without being a top tier professional rig. I plan to set it up with a series A zildjian set, and maybe upgrade the snare, any recomendations? . thanks for the reply.

I'm glad my drum set is a 6pc now. For me, there's various ways I can set my drums up into a 5pc;
1. Kick, Snare, Rack Tom, Rack Tom, & Floor Tom
2. Kick, Snare, Rack Tom, Floor Tom, & Floor Tom

The first one it's a Pearl export or a Midtown ? Thanks for the vídeo bro

Awesome video man!

Get rid of cymbals

I do prefer the groove lessons more, but thanks for all your great content!
Btw would you know anywhere I can find about the history of drum notation and how it developed for part of an assessment?

In the air tonight drum fill has gotten me through some hard times. Rock on Brett!!!!!!

You're an amazing drummer man!

Thank you!
