    Although I do believe that that is the heavy metal style, and your name is metal drummer, so........

    The angle of your toms should fit YOUR body. Just adjust the angles until you get a perfect fit. If you hit the rims...do some more fine tunning to the angle. You'll get there.

    I don't even do rim shots on the snare. Never. Not even on purpose. I just never use them.

    I think Markis nailed it. You just have to repetitively go through the motions. Practice it slow. Steve Smith used to teach these things called motion exercises where you practice different motion routines around the drums, sticking with one pattern at a time until you get it up to speed. I found it helped clean things up for me.

    learn to play really well and screw what they say .....i used to have the same problem i was never in the `in` crowd and school and i got my sticks thrown on the roof of the gym block a couple times .It doesn`t matter what people think mate .you do what YOU feel good about. They`re probably just jealous because they have no talent . Most of the kids ....no ALL of the kids that gave me a hard time couldn`t get in good things at school because they were just to dumb to see it was actually FUN and not in the least geeky or stupid.They are the ones missing out on a possible future having a job thats actually FUN....when they`re all working in factories and you`re on the stage it`ll all seem insignificant ......to hell with them mate .,...WELCOME TO THE FORUM .YOU HAVE DRUMMING FRIENDS HERE !!!!

    by the way ....i`m 35 now and have made a fair amount of money and had a great time playing drums .just stick with it and give them the middle finger !!

    Sorry, just hate bullies. I tend to snap a bit when I see that kind of malarky. We were at an amusement park a few weeks back and some high school kids tryed giving my 12 year old a ration off crap. Boy were they sheepish when I jumped down their throats. What this has to do with "hitting the rims", I dunknow? Anyway...back to our regularly scheduled program...

    RIGHT!

    no 1 set is the same
    it should be customized to your body type and the way you play

    Right.
    I'm 5'5" and my ride is way up high (to get it over my toms).
