How can I set up a 4 piece drum set efficiently and effectively?

To set up a 4-piece drum set efficiently and effectively, start by placing the bass drum in front of you. Attach the pedal and position the snare drum between your legs at a comfortable height. Place the hi-hat to the left of the snare and the ride or crash cymbal to the right. Adjust the height and angles of the drums and cymbals to suit your playing style. Experiment with different setups to find what works best for you.
