I will never go back. Ergonomically it's a colossal difference. Not only that but I can only get comfortable on a 4 piece. Forget it I play a 20" bass drum too. I chose this size intentionally; for ergonomics and versatility.
The church kit has a "normal" 22" bass drum and it doesn't "fit" quite as well as the 20". Some tinkering with it gets it good enough though. For me to be truly comfortable, I would go no bigger than 20". I'm exactly 5'6" and have used the sizes you mentioned did you mean 22"? I start to feel uncomfortable with 24" bass drums because of tom placement so forget anything bigger for me.
The ideal size for me is a 20" bass drum as mentioned and standard size toms. This makes placement a breeze. If you're not liking your ride placement and need 2 toms you could try the left of the bass drum setup which frees up the right hand spot for the ride.
EDIT: I see you have deep toms which can be a pain especially the one on the right. Get a 20" bass drum and shallower toms - thank me later. I only use 18 and 20" bass drums and am around average height for a male in the US. I had a 22" with deep toms for the longest time, but am much more comfortable with what I have now. I won't buy larger than that anymore. With an 18, you can get things really nice and close.
A compact, sleek setup. I like to keep my toms close to the same height as my snare, and have my cymbals low and close also. I've also switched over to deeper 13" snares, as opposed to the 14's I used before. You can read our thoughts about the Alesis Nitro here as well.
This average floor space would allow you to fit most drum kits except for the expanded ones. If you end up with a compact kit or a junior kit, this also ensures that you have extra leg space for the drummer to move around comfortably.
You might end up with a backache over time. It works well for both kids and adults thanks to the design of its hardware. If you have 4 feet, or can control 2 sets of drum pedals, you could create a beast of a drum kit with 4 different bass drums! Plus, you may start noticing your neighbors avoiding you or giving you the death stare everything you bump into them along the common corridors.
Before you even start shopping around for a drum set, always measure the amount of space you can afford to cater for your drum kit. So, step 1 is always to determine the amount of space you really have , in exact measurements.
This way, you can improve the feel of the drum. Usually, you see them in a jazz setting but with the right heads and tuning it can produce a great solid thump that suits pop and jazz playing really well.
The deeper models also fit pop and rock playing, and the feel of the drum is still great. These little guys work best with pedal beaters that are as soft as possible. The sound is big and you can really feel it. In the hands — and feet — of a capable player these large drums are very versatile. Also, when sitting behind a kick like this, you do feel like a captain of an ocean liner….
In a lighter and jazzier setting the drums can usually be smaller in size, especially the bass drum. For rock playing the kick can be larger, along with the toms.
The ludwig accent standard size has a 6 inch wood snare. My kit has hundreds of drums in a 5 piece space. Every morning I'd get out of bed, unhook one side, hook it on the other no bed making!
