My drum kit set up changes with whatever gigs I am doing at the time.  I've been known to play anything from a two piece kit to my full ten piece kit.  Having a large amount of drums and cymbals gives me many sound options to choose from although I tend to use the standard five piece kit for most sessions and gigs.  I use the ten piece set up for my "solo drumming" ventures.
