Pretty cool link to see how Peart's kit has evolved. I rather like the kit he had for Roll The Bones and Counterparts.

LOOOVVVEEE the picture of Peart and his monster of a drum set...wow! Oh, and I voted for hims as well.
My drum kit preferences can change pretty rapidly...if i'm playing jazz or whatnot, I like a smaller kit, but for rock and metal you need a beast with a hundred cymbals and twice as many toms, bass drums, elcetric marimbas, and gongs. It's just so glorious.

That kit must weigh over 2 tons!!! Even Portnoy's monster kits are small by comparison.

As a drummer I used to adore the big sets.
Now I hate them.
Zack Hill is a perfect example of an excellent drummer with a small set. He is IMO better than any drummers listed for the poll.

There's only one word I have for these super-big kits: "Protzig", a
German word that is somewhere between "pretentious" and "showy", but
somehow much more fitting for these kind of kits. What on earth's sake
does one need such a big kit for, except for playing flashy solos?
The man in my signature pic is my favourite drummer by far, and look at
his kit! It is, by the way, the kit he used when playing with Brand X,
and formerly belonged to Ginger Baker.

Of course you're aboslutely right - a good drummer doesn't need a huge kit but....despite it being a bit pointless there is something exciting about looking at such a kit...boys with toys....

If you use a mani-tom (an invention of Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru), you
don't need all these toms anyway, no matter what you play.

not to mention that the whole set is laid out in a specific hexagram pattern which opens up a portal and invites a demon to give Danny special drumming powers...

Yeah..that is all explained on his site.
Pretty trippy.
-----
Despite not becoming a Mason or aligning himself with any other school of religion, Danny has maintained his heritages interest in occult studies. Endeavors into this realm have manifested periodically, such as the time he achieved insight into a hidden aspect of the unicursal hexagram utilizing an astral journey initiated through meditation and DMT.
Danny then set up his drums into proportions utilizing the circle and square of the New Jerusalem and uttered a short prayer relating to the principles of the ace of swords from the book of Thoth. He then performed a ritual utilizing his new found knowledge of the unicursal hexagram to generate a pattern of movement in space relating to Fuller's vector equilibrium model. The resulting rhythm and gateway summoned a daemon he has contained within "the Lodge" that has been delivering short parables similar to passages within the Book of Lies. Danny recommends as a device of protection and containment a thorough study and utilization of the underlying geometry of the Temple of Solomon for anyone purchasing their next record.
