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

To set up a drum set 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 and at the right angle. Ensure the drum throne is at a height where your thighs are parallel to the ground. Experiment with the setup to find what feels most comfortable and allows for efficient playing.
