Jesus, talk about making a small kit sound bigger! :O
.. Where the f*** did that extra tom come from? ;D
 
Isn't it commonly agreed upon that smaller drums sound bigger/better in the studio? :P

And besides, I'm not sure how much of the original drum sound Joey keeps in the final mix.

He doesn't mean the physical size of each drum, he means the number of pieces in the kit, see my other post... Dude plays with 2 toms and a snare and his creativity around the kit makes it sound like his kit is bigger than Dave Lombardo's.
 
you can clearly see the triggers on the snare/toms...i'm guessing this is the session he recently posted about where he stated he was only recording the OH's with mics
 
"It's like 2am right now... the sun's still out."

Pretty cool setup you have, a lot more relaxed and convenient than going to a big fancy place. I
