That's a different setup, but I like sets arranged differently.

The line between the real world and the machine world is becoming more and more blurred every day.But its not that humans are turning into automations or becoming slaves to the machines.No, we're simply growing toward each other!
Here is my kit.....
Gear
Yamaha Stage Custom(late 90's)
10 12 16 22 BD 14 SN
Cymbals all Sabian
14 AAX-celerator Hi Hats
8 & 10 Paragon Splashes
17 AAX-xplosion Fast Crash
16 AAX Dark Crash
18 AAX Dark Crash
21 AA Raw Bell Dry Ride
19 Paragon Chinese
MY KIT
Mapex Horizon Birch in Rattan Yellow lacquer
-8x7,10x8,12x10 mounted toms
-14x14,16x16 floor toms
-22x18 Bass drum
-14x5.5 snare
If it's Mapex, YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD!
Updated config. Still not 100% comfortable with where the rotos/deccabons are, but it's getting there. I might need individual tom arms to hold the deccabons. I'd like to stack them in 2x2, not sure exactly where yet though. They'll probably take the place of the rototoms, but I need those too. My 2nd band likes playing a lot of old Maiden and those work great for it.
DW Performance Series
Peavey Radial Pro RBS-1
Roland TDW-20
Gibraltar rack system
Sabian AA/AAX/HHX/Vault
Tama pedals

8x10 , 9x12 rack toms (7x8 not pictured)
12x14, 14x16 floor toms
18x24 kicks
These are my PDP cx drums. I have meinl byzance hihats, a meinl byzance 18" crash, and a Zildjian custom A ride. I recently condensed my set up a bit just because I felt like going minimal. When in its full form, it has 4 rack toms and quite a few more cymbals. But I like this better honestly.

Wow....are you using a short cable hi-hat? Sorry it's a bit hard to see in the pictures....you got any specs on the hi-hat stand, brand, etc? I've a DW cable hi-hat that I'll use pretty occasionally, I'd just wish DW could make a short cable version, as I know how comfortable that Bill Bruford type of set up is, it's just that a short cable hi-hat would make it easier to set up and mess around with. I know Tama stopped making one years back (which would have been a pain for Bruford when was touring, for sure).

Slit drummers unite! Yes, I got into using one courtesy of being a Bruford nut as well, however later on I also got into a few alternate groups that would use such percussion on a few tunes here and there. Not Drowning, Waving from Australia was one such group, they also did an album working with musicians from PNG (Papua New Guinea).

Recorded and filmed a live album yesterday. I didn't use my bass drum and toms, but still used my cymbals and snare. The music is a combination of John Mayer with Buble's voice so my big ol' drums weren't going to work (those DW's would have been perfect for it, rats! haha)
Sidenote, I'm obsessed with the Acrolite. This snare does everything and very well. Sometimes I had it absolutely reefed, tuned as tight as it would go. Sometimes I would have it in the middle for that mid-range crack which was golden. I also tuned it waaaaay low for a song and it sounded as trashy and beautiful as a snare could. I love that thing.
