Hello!
I am new. Very new. 10 days playing for the first time ever new. I'm rather proud of myself, to be honest. Anyway. The -VERY FIRST THING- I discovered with drumming was that when I asked any drummer I knew for advice (on anything: kit setup, crash vs crash/ride, stool height, tom angle, hi-hat cymbal separation, etc.), the usual response was: "However you want to set it up, bro."

It’s also what Brett uses.
