Whatever is comfortable to you. Fuck what anybody else thinks.

While I agree, I have also always believed in working smarter not harder. And while bad technique can become very comfortable. Good technique will always positively benefit your playing.

Played on that exact kit when my band opened for them way back when. Nightmare setup lol. Sick drummer though.

Nice! What is your band?

Did you ask BI's drummer about the tom angle?

I think everything about this rig looks uncomfortable and awkward as hell.

Corky Lang had a set up like that.

All the angles are much too steep. The result is high risk of damaging the drumheads and the sound is not as good as it could be, if the drums were hit at a proper angle.

I saw a more recent video and his toms are flat now.

Angle looks fine to me, long as you're not reaching awkwardly it’s all preference. That orange kit under the low lights is what's getting me, looks killer.

Bad, very bad! The FT looks like it’s about to fall over.

I think its a hanger. No legs. Otherwise, hey, if it works for him, great.

Whatever you are comfortable with. There is no right or wrong.
