a lot of people who have the drums at home dont always have tons of open space for them. a few pictures ive seen on this site have people with their sets set up facing into the wall. I have myne set up with my back to the wall, and the drums pointing out, how do you have yours set up?
;

Out.

Mine aren't set up at the moment seeing as I have small amounts of time between playing gigs. So mine are stacked up, waiting to be loaded into my car at the moment. When I do have time to set up and play at home, I usually have mine facing away from the wall.

It depends. If I don't want to be distracted they face to the wall. If I want to see something else other than a wall I face the other way. I haven't noticed much in terms of sound difference.

pinkidrummer, do you play your toms at those angles? I've never seen them set up like that!

Yep! It feels easier being left-handed and such.

I'm not trying to knock your set-up or anything, but I have a question. Wouldn't it be easier on you to set up left handed? Although by setting up and playing righty style, you end up playing open instead of cross over which opens up a whole world of possibilities.

Well that is the weird part. I don't go by the rules or you can say I'm not normal. Because I am left-handed playing kinda righty-style.

Set up across from a wall with a large mirror on it. It becomes easy to critique yourself. You can pick out your flaws and overall look. Elbows etc..

Not sure why, (even though I have a theory) but the first time I saw Rage against the Machine, at Lollapalooza 1993, their drummer set up backwards with a mirror in front of him. There were 46,000+ people there, maybe he was nervous.

I play away from the wall with a sheild in our studio and have a practice kit facing the wall in my garage at home. Facing seems to cut the noise that can be heard from outside. Peace on ya!
