Re: 6 piece drumset?
I'm more comfortable behind a 6 piece kit. When I'm more comfortable, I play better. A five piece has always felt awkward to me, especially with a 12/13 tom combination. Having four toms (2 up, 2 down) fits the way I move my arms and the way I play tom fills more naturally.
If you think you'd feel more comfortable behind a 6-piece, I say go for it. It doesn't matter what other people prefer or think about your configuration. What you think is the only thing that matters. Keep in mind you're not going to get much for the kit you currently have, even though you just bought it.
It's all about your personal preference. If there was a "correct" set-up, then that would be the only set-up that the manufacturers would sell. So to answer your question, yes you should buy a 6-piece if you think that YOU will be more comfortable with it. If not, don't.

Because you personally don't need more to fit your style and approach to drumming. Having more doesn't benefit you, but it may benefit others.
