This is a pretty cool looking setup, although I've never tried playing my kit set up this way. I think I'll give it a try, at least putting the tom lower.

Interesting. First I've seen a set up like that!
Have you set yours up that way yet?

Very interesting setup. I like the 16" snare. It sounded great! I may have to make one from a trashed floor tom someday.
And the 26" ride was sweet too!

It does look pretty cool, but I don't think it'd work for me. It seems to be geared for matched stick grip, but I play conventional grip and find it easier to reach the rack if it's up and angled in a "normal" position. But that's just me.
I loved that video, very entertaining. I had no idea he had this set up and I agree it would be fun to try it, let us know how it goes for you. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you!

Ya gotta have a lot of real estate for a setup like that. I played some places where I'd need to leave most of it in the car.
It does make a ton of sense ergonomically to me. Hands and arms are mostly down and relaxed. Neat.

a few snares ...
HA! Gotta love the "Beatles" file photo at the ~4:20 mark.
All the toms and snare in a single plane. I think I'd like it with some adjustments for my personal preference...
