Does It Matter Where You Mount Your Drums?

[pwarbi]

For most people when you look at a standard drum kit, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the layout, but depending on the drummer and what they tend to use the most, the drums can be mounted in various positions My question is where sort of criteria do you go off when you are arranging your kits? Is it just a case of putting the ones you use the most in the easiest to reach places, or do you go off the aesthetics of the kit and what it looks like?

While I'm sure we all want to sound the best we can, we also want to look the best when we're playing and being sat behind a kit that's mounted in a odd way does nothing for our credibility!
