What are the essential steps for a basic drum set up?

The essential steps for setting up a basic drum set are:

1. Position the bass drum in front of you, with the pedal facing your dominant foot.
2. Place the snare drum between your legs at a comfortable height.
3. Set up the hi-hat cymbals to the left of the snare drum, with the pedal within reach of your non-dominant foot.
4. Position the toms and floor tom around the kit within easy reach.
5. Adjust the height and angle of the drum throne for comfort and stability.
6. Ensure all drums and cymbals are securely mounted and at the desired height and angle.
