once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
Even though my Ludwig Big Beat kit has a FT, I find I don't use it that much in country music, so I stopped taking it to gigs. It saves on weight, space and set-up/tear-down time.
I set my trap case where the floor tom was, and it holds my fan, song and set lists, etc.
Ludwig Vistalite Big Beat set consisting of:
14” X 22” bass, 16” X 16” floor tom, 8” X 12” ride tom, 9” X 13” ride tom, 5” X 14” snare
Ludwig 201 Speed King bass drum pedal
Ludwig 1124 Spur-lok hit-hat with Ludwig Standard Paiste 14” cymbals (760 & 770 gr) with ching-ring
Two Ludwig Standard S-270 cymbals stands
18” Zildjian crash cymbal (1550 gr) and 20” Zildjian ride cymbal (2130 gr) with CAMCO sizzler
Gibraltar motorcycle seat-style drum throne with backrest
I do a lot of swing and country gigs without one.

seems like the floor tom is often the last piece of the puzzle. occasionally if I run across a nice deal on a neat floor tom, i'll get it and start an orphan kit around it!
I played my 22/13 clubdate combos for some time without a floor tom. its actually a lot of fun. makes you be a little more creative with your fills.

In the 1960's,one crucial element for the right of passage to be considered a real drummer was to have a drum set with at least one up and one down. This was all a matter of perception. It had little to do with the talent to pull it off.
The floor tom didn't always figure in for polka band drummers.
I have run into 4 kits here as of late without floor toms myself.
3 for me clubdates
