How can I properly set up a drum kit for optimal performance?

To properly set up a drum kit for optimal performance, start by positioning the bass drum in the center, with the snare drum between your legs. Place the toms above the bass drum at a comfortable height. Adjust the cymbals so they are within easy reach. Ensure the drum throne is at a height where your thighs are parallel to the ground. Experiment with the placement of each piece to find the most comfortable and efficient setup for your playing style.
