drisky, in this case the equipment does matter. anyone can play a 4 piece set. take brad wilk of rage against the machine. he has a 5 piece set most of the time because that is all he needed. he plays it well, but it definately takes more skill to play a 25 piece set well than it does to play a 5 piece set. I am saying that by having the larger set it makes the drumming more dynamic, which in my case makes me think that it is better and more creative. if you have not heard any on danny's drumming i would reccomend a listen because he is absolutely nuts. i am not saying that by having a gigantic set this automatically makes you good, but it definately takes a lot of skill. i am not trying to say that this is the only factor that makes you good. for instance the foo fighters drummer is amazing too, and he has a medium sized set.
in conclusion i did not mean to make it sound like the size of the set is the only thing that matters, but i think it is an important factor. i think there are plenty of good drummers that have smaller sets, but it is just a matter of style and taste.
