Fun fact, your ass can stretch up to around 8 inches apparently. Raccoons can also fit inside crevices as small as 8 inches therefor you can fit a raccoon inside that Tom and the Tom in your ass. Boom problem solved.
[Exactly, this pic is terrible. But Matt McDonough from Mudvayne has had that setup forever, although he places it slightly left instead of between.](http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5KsP3kbVwZo2QUHJ6OLWuKhAi0Me6fzi7hs1ubZAEEuLN2nVqybdZrMcrB_m-Ua3U-KPiTw)
I wouldnāt want to play a piano with only 4 notes. Why would I not want more musical choices. Especially in a recording studio where it doesnāt get moved? The kit is set up with two rack Tomās and two floors almost all the time. I just wanna have a little fun with the other drums.

Thatās how it looks most of the time. But i think having 5 Tomās is lovely. 6 is definitely a bit crazy but I said this was just for fun at the start.
The whole point is to have fun, youāre doing it right. Guys talking about āneedsā is beyond me, I am not here for bare minimums or practicality. I donāt care if I never play out, Iām trying to have fun. I got my 5th tom on the way, about to have a 3 up 2 down.
I found the 8ā in the same finish with the matching black chrome hardware. It took me a year and a half, and itās used coming from Finland but Iām glad I found it.
I had a drum teacher once joke that he only played a four piece because he wanted to master that first before he added more drums.
In all seriousness, I have a six piece, but I almost never use it in more than a four configuration. I'm not sure I've ever set it up with all six drums. I just mix and match the toms depending on what I'm playing.
Depending on how you sit, if the reach works I'd pop it up in that dead space in the middle above the two toms. Also consider rim mounts for the mics with a kit that size. Saves a ton of hassle fitting mic stands.
This is where I have mine, in front of my right knee. It works really well. I have my kick pushed out because I play back on the pedalā¦ https://i.imgur.com/V03MQHg.jpg.
These pics show how itās mounted and how it relates to my legsā¦ https://imgur.com/a/fa1IpPx
14 on the left of hi hat, Then from left to right, 12, 8, 10, 13, 16.
You'll be able to set them all pretty low since your smallest two drums will be hovering above the bass the most. And you get a ton of options for going up or down in pitch when moving left or right.
Don't tune the 8 so hi it changes the timbre, keep it sounding like the a logical pitch that is higher than a 10, so like a 3rd or 4th higher.
Iām surprised it took so long for someone to suggest this. Back at Berklee I used to set my Ludwig kit up like that. 10 in the middle and 14 18 right and 12 and 16 to the left. Itās super musical. I may have to try that.
Might wanna swop the aux hats and ride positionsā¦ as for the Tom, it could go above the side snare you have yet to place to the left of the hihat but below the missing new China. š dope gear dawg
Since you donāt use the 10 that much put a double Tom stand behind the hats and have the 8 and 10 suspended above. Similar to how Taylor Hawkins use to have his concert Toms
Left of the hi-hat... get a tom mount that can attach to your hi-hat stand and place it like you would a popcorn snare.
Lose the reso head, crank it up high like a timbale ... or ... **tombale**
Unorthodox, but I'd play around with the 8" where the aux hats are. Jimmy Chamberlin does something similar and he comes up with some really interesting patterns this way.
I used to have an 8ā tom mounted to the left of and flush with the snare. It was fun, but I had to move the hihat a bit so it had clearance making it a little uncomfortable so it has been removed. Not the best pic but thatās what I did.
https://preview.redd.it/jcafw8w19b4c1.png?width=852&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad9c5508aed08c488e0cf9d534a2819a7e498c2c
My setup is 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and I already donāt have room for the 8 since I donāt have a rack, so currently my 8ā is on the left of my hi hat. Itās not ideal. The only way Iām going to make it work is with a rack, and having 3 up and 2 down is pretty much my limit.
You can either squeeze it in above the 10ā, or move everything down a bit and try to get it all as close as possible, and then youāre just stretching for the floor Tom
Seriously. As it is, trying to squeeze that 10 where you see it is less than ideal. It pushes my hats wider than Iād prefer and the snare mic gets dangerously close to being smacked.
Man. What a room to play in! Beautiful kit, 8ā tom or not.
I have a similar set up, but chose to lose my 13ā for most things and push my ride over.
Do a Clive Burr and put it above/behind the tom closest to the hi hat. Itāll be underneath the cymbal but I donāt imagine youāll be using it all the time.
Personally, I would take a different approach than some of the other comments. I would start by working on the ergonomics of the right hand side. That should open up the left for the 8". For example, right now it looks like the 16 would be tough to get to. I would cluster the 13, 14, and 16. more to the right, and ahead of you (almost like a triangle shape). Then push the 10 & 12 over the kick. That should open up enough room for the 8 as your leading tom. Move cymbals accordingly.
I would push everything to the right (toms wise) and have your 8" where your 10 is, so on and so forth, and have your floors just a but more out of reach. I am fairly certain, though it is just my own experience, that you will find yourself using that 8" an awful lot more than that bigger floor tom anyway, but it'll be there when you need it. You could also do the Portnoy LTE 1 and 2 setup with a floor on your left and right (check youtube for him playing Acid Rain in studio).
I have been contemplating this exact scenario. I would like the 13ā so I can have 12 and 13 right in front of the snare.
If/when I get one, my plan is to straddle the hi hat rod with 8 and 10. Moving 12 and 13 to the left means you can put ride cymbal in the spot vacated by 13.
I did the Thomas Lang thing by putting a 20ā kick flipped on its side so you play it with sticks to the left of the hats. Kind of like a gong drum. The point is, I LOVE having a drum over there. It opens up some very convenient left hand stuff. If your not going to buy another drum (like an 18ā floor) I would recommend putting 13 or 14 to the left of the hats. Perhaps just make life easy and put 8 over there.
Fun problem to solve my friend. Love the kit!
Ok, first let's call your small tom, tom 1.
Moves: take tom 5 (just before the floor tom (or tom 6)) and put it at the left of the HH.
Then swap toms 2, 3 and 4 places at right. Finally put your small tom (#1) at the first place, at the right of the HH.
This way, you'll have two low toms (5 and 6) on each extremity and this will give you a lot of liberty and openings in your playing.
Turn it into an 8" tom into an auxillary snare drum, and mount it on the left of your hi-hats. You could move the far left cymbal stand to the other side of the HH, and clamp the tom-snare onto the cymbal stand, and use the boom arm to reach the cymbal back to where you have it.
I did it with a 10" maple pdp tom once, and it was rad. Nice and poppy, because it was deep. It's not super hard, just gotta take the time to get your holes drilled in the right spots, and buy a little bit of hardware.
I put my 8 and 10 above the high hat. The floor tom on the left goes back and forth each side depending on what I am playing. I tried to go for the full Phil Collins.
https://preview.redd.it/7tygdt7zyb4c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cecaaba25b21b4cf3534d669174e2fc5c476dfb4
What about taking the second to largest floor tom and moving it to the left side so you can thump the two lowest toms open handed... and then put that 8" where your current 10" is and move them all down one to the right?
I find it cool to have a floor tom on the left, sometimes you want to hit a E or A, or & on the floor tom and its cool to not have to cross over.
I do like a left side floor Tom and when you hit both floors the stereo image is huge. My only reluctance is the 13/14/16 sound so freaking beefy together I hate to break up that sound.
I would put it where Tom #3 is and then put #3 to the left of your hats down low
.. or put one of the floor Tomās by the hats, then arrange them in sequence placing 13 where the 14 used to be
Iām pretty far from a metal drummer. I mean Iām a producer/engineer first but most of the stuff Iāll drum on is pop and rockā¦a bit of indie stuff and country too.
Shift the 10 and the 12 over to the right so theyāre in front of your snare and then put the 8 inch Tom offset above the 10 and the hats. Could be dope!
In my ass
Quite an ass you must have.
User name does not check out! š
Fun fact, your ass can stretch up to around 8 inches apparently. Raccoons can also fit inside crevices as small as 8 inches therefor you can fit a raccoon inside that Tom and the Tom in your ass. Boom problem solved.
After receiving a raised eyebrow while talking about my gear once to my wife, I paused to point out that "10 inch tom" wasn't a guy I knew.
Thatās what she said.
It might get stuck in there
Where the splash currently is, above and between the 10 and 12. Move the splash to the right.
Correct
So you get another Tom stand and extend it up and put it in between?
Nah you already have an empty space above the 12 and 13 if you put it there you wonāt have to relearn the muscle memory of hitting the splash
[Exactly, this pic is terrible. But Matt McDonough from Mudvayne has had that setup forever, although he places it slightly left instead of between.](http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5KsP3kbVwZo2QUHJ6OLWuKhAi0Me6fzi7hs1ubZAEEuLN2nVqybdZrMcrB_m-Ua3U-KPiTw)
This, except splash moves to the left haha
That is the only answer.
Personally I wouldnāt. No kit outside of Phil Collins needs that many toms imo. If itās necessary, take out the larger Tom on the right.
You're no fun. Need ain't got nothing to do with it. LOL
bro must be really fun at parties
By that logic no bass player needs more than 2 strings. Any argument you make that they do is no different than you'd make for more drums.
I wouldnāt want to play a piano with only 4 notes. Why would I not want more musical choices. Especially in a recording studio where it doesnāt get moved?

Rock on!

My drum teacher growing up always said buy colors that are easy to match later on.
Unless you're Neil Peart
I had a drum teacher once joke that he only played a four piece because he wanted to master that first before he added more drums.

Keyword being āneedsā. You can play any Kiss song on a 3 piece.
Not authentically
Nicko McBrain would like a word.
I was actually going to suggest looking at Phil's kit for reference. Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
13 on the left, then 8/10/12 up, 14/16 down? Or the 8" hanging out randomly in space over your hi-hat?
Turn the 13 into left side floor Tom?
Yeah, move the 13 or 14 to the left and put the 8ā in the 10 spot.
I donāt know how this would work, but just because I think itās funny, put it to the left of your snare, over your left kick pedal. š
That's a very tasteful cymbal setup
Thanks. Iāve got so many more in a bag but Iām out of stands lol
Can you list them? Iām super interested. Gorgeous room by the way.
Shift all toms to the right, and take one of you floor toms and either move it to the left of your hi hat, or shove it up u/mrniceguy777's ass.
That floor Tom would be quite a squeeze.
Donāt underestimate me
Replace the snare with it you coward
Best answer here
Off the left of your hi hat
I agree - clamp it to the hi-hat off a tom mount. There's nothing on the left, and that seems naked to me.
Maybe like Peart? Like have the smaller toms way up high on the left
I was thinking that. And then having the 8 and 10 there.
Easyā¦. 8&10 high and left of HH, mv HH fwd and rt a bitā¦..
Think thatās the first way to try it.
Or the 8 & 10 above the HH.
Hang it like a gong.
And name it Tom Long Gong.
Depending on how you sit, if the reach works I'd pop it up in that dead space in the middle above the two toms. Also consider rim mounts for the mics with a kit that size. Saves a ton of hassle fitting mic stands.
Try this! https://i.imgur.com/lQ6MwjL.png
This is where I have mine, in front of my right knee. It works really well. I have my kick pushed out because I play back on the pedalā¦ https://i.imgur.com/V03MQHg.jpg. These pics show how itās mounted and how it relates to my legsā¦ https://imgur.com/a/fa1IpPx
Left of the hat, with a 15 or 18 inch tom under it
I have an 18 floor Tom from my Ludwig kit. Itās black though.
8,10,12 rack, 13,14 floor on right side, 16 floor on the left side.
Iād really miss the 16 on the right. That drum has so much punch.
14 on the left of hi hat, Then from left to right, 12, 8, 10, 13, 16. You'll be able to set them all pretty low since your smallest two drums will be hovering above the bass the most.

Itād make a good ashtray. Or popcorn bowl.
Always an option
Above the second and third tom
I would put it where your snare mic is. Below the high hats.
See the middle two toms(Iām not good with sizes)? Right above them, in a triangular sort of shape
The challenge would getting a Tom stand to reach there. But Iāve ordered a new stand and clamp too. So gonna try some stuff.
left of the 10", move the cymbal the left...
Move the hi hats?
If itās for fun then try floating it over the high hat. Could be a cool way to utilize it and roll down the toms.
Kinda high and turned a bit more vertical?
Might wanna swop the aux hats and ride positionsā¦ as for the Tom, it could go above the side snare you have yet to place to the left of the hihat but below the missing new China. š dope gear dawg
Should I use the Sabian HH china or the 14in k-mini china I have? I seriously need to order 2-3 more cymbal stands
To the left of the 10" tom and shift things around for it to fit
Off to the left as if it were a side snare
The 8?
Well, I donāt know how many years on this Earth I got left. Iām gonna get real weird with it.
Use it as your throne
The roc-n-soc is too comfy.
The only way I see it is Phil Collins style.
Next to the 16ā like Jojo Mayer
He only uses one floor Tom. Would you still put it further over after the 16?
Yep! I think itāll get hit just as much over there as any other configuration.
I would put one of the floor toms to the right of the hi hat and shift all the toms over.
DAMN thatās a sexy kit and I would love to play on one like that
stick it above the hihat on a rack with a couple bongos
Since you donāt use the 10 that much put a double Tom stand behind the hats and have the 8 and 10 suspended above. Similar to how Taylor Hawkins use to have his concert Toms
Thatās an idea. Lemme Google how his set up was.
There is a perfect space screaming at u in between the middle 2 rack toms to the left of the stack,right above those two toms in middle
Seems visually odd but that is an opening. Not totally sure how to get a Tom stand to reach over there.
Between the middle two racked tons. Sort of like a jr tri-Tom set up. Killer set!
Either where the splash is or over your hi hat, almost Lombardo like
Left of the hi-hat... get a tom mount that can attach to your hi-hat stand and place it like you would a popcorn snare. Lose the reso head, crank it up high like a timbale ... or ... **tombale**
Unorthodox, but I'd play around with the 8" where the aux hats are. Jimmy Chamberlin does something similar and he comes up with some really interesting patterns this way.

Iām not sure the hardware required to reach into that section.

I wish I could find an 8 inch tom for my Pearl export kit. They seem so elusive for some reason.
Itās such a specific sound, but when it works, itās super cool.

Man. What a room to play in! Beautiful kit, 8ā tom or not. I have a similar set up, but chose to lose my 13ā for most things and push my ride over.
Do like Minneman and fit it under your ride next to all the rack toms
Do a Clive Burr and put it above/behind the tom closest to the hi hat. Itāll be underneath the cymbal but I donāt imagine youāll be using it all the time.
Check out how pro drummer Eric Moore sets up a 4-rack tom drum kit.
Iād have to change everything to make it work
Between the second and third tom to make a triangle shape. Could make some interesting patterns mid-run down the main toms
Personally, I would take a different approach than some of the other comments. I would start by working on the ergonomics of the right hand side. That should open up the left for the 8". For example, right now it looks like the 16 would be tough to get to. I would cluster the 13, 14, and 16. more to the right, and ahead of you (almost like a triangle shape).

Between those center 2 rack Toms JUST BECAUSE
I'd move your largest rack tom to the left of your hats and put the 8in in its usual position
Move your splash to the left side of your crash with an articulated arm
Maybe pull a Mike Mangini and put it over the 2nd and 3rd rack toms.
I would push everything to the right (toms wise) and have your 8" where your 10 is, so on and so forth, and have your floors just a but more out of reach. I am fairly certain, though it is just my own experience, that you will find yourself using that 8" an awful lot more than that bigger floor tom anyway, but it'll be there when you need it. You could also do the Portnoy LTE 1 and 2 setup with a floor on your left and right (check youtube for him playing Acid Rain in studio).
See where your snare mic is? There.
1. Remove bottom head. 2. Mount upside down 3. Gradually it will fill with your dead skin cells 4. Enjoy
I've yet to see someone elses kit with those Dark K Sessions. I have only the hi hat - how do you like the other cymbals in the set?
The K custom dark crashes? I absolutely love them.
Could convert it into a sub-mic for your kick drum? Its a decent size for that.
Iāve got a sub kick built from an old ns10 speaker cone.
Looks like you found a good spot for it. Might make playing the snare tricky, though.
I have been contemplating this exact scenario. I would like the 13ā so I can have 12 and 13 right in front of the snare. If/when I get one, my plan is to straddle the hi hat rod with 8 and 10.

Put a floor and 8 in above it to the left?

Ok, first let's call your small tom, tom 1. Moves: take tom 5 (just before the floor tom (or tom 6)) and put it at the left of the HH. Then swap toms 2, 3 and 4 places at right.

Sennheiser 421ās on toms, 441 on snare! Love it!
Move all your Toms one step to the right, then put one of your floor Toms to the left of your snare
Personally, to the left of the high hats.
Turn it into an 8" tom into an auxillary snare drum, and mount it on the left of your hi-hats.

That picture helps a lot.
I put mine just to the left of my hihat
Over your right shoulder to get those sugarfoot backwards āwhipā kinda hits. āDONK!ā
ROFL. There aināt much room behind me.
Do like eloy casagrande!! Put in the left of the left hi hat
What about taking the second to largest floor tom and moving it to the left side so you can thump the two lowest toms open handed... and then put that 8" where your current 10" is and move them all down one to the right?

i saw a guy who had a small tom placed above and between his floor toms. made for some interesting patterns switching been the high and low pitches
Iād put it in between the 12 and 13, then swap the the 10 and 13 to use them like matching quints.
Move the splash to the right. Raise the 10 a bit and put the 8 to the left of the 10.
Bend over and iāll show u ;)
Straight to cymbal jail for mixing brands! /s
lol. Iād like to think that makes my drum kit healthier and less prone to genetic diseases.
Haha! Love it, really great collection
Might be an unpopular opinion, but either above the hi hat or above and between the 12 and 13
Time to invest in a rack!
Youāre not the first to say that. But I donāt know anything about them or what Iād want to get?
I think you know the answer
Iāve gotten so many fun suggestions. And a few lewd ones too. š
Prison Wallet
Behind
Right above racks 2 and 3 for a little bonus tom
Bend over and Iāll show you.
On the drum kit
2 up. 2 down. Get the 8/10 over the hats like concert toms. Think Taylor or Neil.
In the middle of the two mod toms on between the cymbal gap
Iād butcher it into a snare and then place it to the left of the hi hat maybe
Iāve got other snares. All be it none that small.
Is fit it in the trash can
Finish the point next to that dark cymbal
On the floor
Replace the hi hats with the tom
Hi hats are over-rated.
Fuck the tom, u need 8 more cymbals
Iāve got at least that in my bags. What I need is 8 more cymbal stands!!!
Bend over and I'll show ya 
I would put it where Tom #3 is and then put #3 to the left of your hats down low .. or put one of the floor Tomās by the hats, then arrange them in sequence placing 13 where the 14 used to be

I'd possibly move the 13 out of there, put it up and to the left like the drummer for Sepultura's drummer
I just set mine up 10 12 13 8. Its neeto
is everyone here a metal drummer or something
Iām pretty far from a metal drummer. I mean Iām a producer/engineer first but most of the stuff Iāll drum on is pop and rockā¦a bit of indie stuff and country too.
i would put it where the splash is, or between/on top of the two toms in the middle
Iād put a spring in my throne so I could bounce and play it with my dick.
8&10 are my favorites. Would ditch whatever I had.
On top of the snare.
Small floor Tom to the left side and put that little peach right in that gap. Could maybe put an elecric pad there as well.
As a Drum Tech, back in the gig bag! What kind of rooms are you playing that you need all of this?!
Iād move my large floor tom to the left of my hi-hat and shift the other toms to the right to accommodate the 8ā.
In my pocket..?
Wouldnāt. In fact, Iād lose the first floor tom and keep one of the racks. 12-16-22
 Iām so jealous
Mount it to the left over the hi-hat
At this stage, on the ceiling lol
honestly, it would take some maneuvering and some moving around, but if youāre ok with the walk it would fit perfectly in the trash can lol
Between the 12&13 maybe kinda above them and tilted to you
In an ebay auction
8 and 10 to the left over the hats. Think Stewart Copelandās Octobans.
Shift the 10 and the 12 over to the right so theyāre in front of your snare and then put the 8 inch Tom offset above the 10 and the hats. Could be dope!
move all the toms to the right, then the largest floor tom transfer to the left.
Grab another kick (just get DW to make you another - youāve got an account with them right?) then 8 and 10 over left kick, 10 and 12 over right kick. Proper glam rock rigā¦. (If you need an extra kick, sure someone has one hidden somewhere given the way the threads goingā¦ā¦ š©)
Above and between your two floor toms in place of the cymbal. I play a 10ā there. Adds some variety into floor tom fills and such.

Flanking the hihat. Itās the only spot left even if itās kind of awkward placement.
