Okay, I’m not a drummer, but I do understand that each drummer’s setup is very personal, particularly for drummers who play large kits.
And Alexey Poblete plays large kits. She’s this very young Filipino girl who is an amazing drum prodigy. I’ve seen her play quite a few different kits, but never one quite like this:
My question is about her mounted toms. Her largest mounted tom is right in the middle, with smaller toms to either side. And I'm trying to figure out how that works. Unfortunately, the song she's covering in that video apparently calls for lots of snare and cymbals, but very little tom work, so I didn't get to see how she uses her toms in that setup.But mounting the largest tom in the center like that just seems counterintuitive to me. Drummers, any thoughts on why she’s set up like that?
