What is a full set?

It's all up to your personal preference. I consider a "full" set to have four toms, two snares, a bass drum, and a variety of cymbals all over. However if your Terry Bozzio, you might consider a full set to be large enough to take up the space of a high school gymnasium. If you're in the White Stripes a full set might be considered a cow bell.

While I prefer the following:

2 Floor Toms

1 Snare

2 Bass Drums

 

Cymbal-Wise

 

4 Crashes

2 China types

2 Rides

1 splash

1 Hi-Hat

I think the bare minimum you need is:

 

2 Snares

3 Kicks

2 Pairs of hats (get the AAX and A custom Mastersounds from your previous post)

2 Rides

6 Crashes, each pair should be the same size

3 Chinas

4 Splashes

2 Cowbells

1 set of congas

1 Gong

1 Trashcan lid

8 Rack toms

3 Floor Toms

1 set of octobons

1 Holy Bible to help you overcome your sinful ways

I like to bring a backup gong as well. I'm always cracking my gongs...I've tried cymbal springs, lighter sticks, lessons...everything. I finally decided it's just easier to buy 'em in bulk and crack the living {censored} out of them. By the way, a 'gong' ain't a 'gong' if it isn't at least 60" in diameter.

I am fairly certain that everybody on this forum's drum kit is a work in progress, so, as for it being "full", it may have to do with what style of music you happen to be playing. The stuff I play doesnt require 8 concert toms, so, I would consider my 4 piece vintage gretsch set up full for my needs.

And along with that kitchen sink, a few old kitchen pots and pans might not sound to bad either. Just stick em somewhere. Duct tape and super glue can make anything work. :D
