My hats are 35 1/2" from the floor, which leaves them 5 1/2" above the snare. That still leaves me 3 1/2" of rod above the clutch, upon which I mount a tamborine about 1 1/2" from the top. I prefer a higher sitting position when playing so the top of my throne is 27" from the floor. I'm just over 6' tall.

I try to mount my other cymbals as low as possible, with the lower edge of the highest (18" left-side crash just slightly overlapping the hats) at 45" and the lower edge of the lowest (20" right-side ride) at 37 1/2", just 3 1/2" above and about 3" of overlap on the back edge of my 14" suspended tom.

This set-up leaves me in a very comfortable and relaxed sitting position with minimal reach required to get to any of my cymbals. See thumbnail for layout.

Exactly 90cm.

Last time I was there it was a more normal kit (but the cymbals were not too good) and this time it was a "traps" kit- essentially a bunch of heads floating in the air.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable to play, most of his cymbals were good. He had a ZBT splash and crash that were really sort of dead sounding but his 21" sweet ride was, well, sweet sounding (and crashable) as was his A custom crash and hats (when I could manage to hit them). Crashing the hats with the foot sounded nice as did the 'chick'- but the chick was a bit loud for the rest of the kit and I had to be mindful of that playing this odd little kit...
