Great insight, Brian.
I recently played a show where the opening drummer offered to let me use his kit, and it was set up like a double bass kit, without the second kick drum.
My only issue was that whe way the hi hat was situated I had a very difficult time hitting the 10" tom. Playing traditional grip doesn't really help, but I was able to get a couple hits in there.
A couple years ago I played with the idea of offsetting again, but I really like the "cluster" or snare, 10, 12, 14. Vinnie's kit always looked super comfortable for me to play. The off set looks more open and free. I'm thinking Weckl looking at your kit.

I don’t think I’ve regularly used the “traditional” 2-up 1-down set up in over a decade, mostly because I find having my ride right over the kick drum where the mid tom would be is the most comfortable and I’m able to put my china in a comfortable spot on my right in the rare instance that I’m riding on that surface (though mostly I use it for accents)
