But if that doesn't please you, just do what drummer Rob Rivera from NONPOINT does; turn your kit sideways. It's a cool effect. Or the drummer from 30 Seconds To Mars Shannon Leto does this too. Now I'm not saying that they do this for every single show, but I have seen them do it on occasion. It's different and most of the time it works on stage. However there are those clubs that are just too damn small to do this in. So the next best solution is to minimize your kit. Maybe bring your cymbals down a few inches, drop some rack toms if you can. This will give the crowd a better view of you and vice versa.

Sitting in the back?
I've heard many complaints from drummers about having to set up in the back of the stage. They would much rather be in the front or just more visible in general. Well, there are solutions to this problem. But there is also a better remedy, look at it from the fans point-of-view; you are in the middle of the stage! You are technically the center of attention. Nevermind that little dude that may be blocking a very small portion of your set. You have the biggest piece of equipment on the stage. Nobody is missing you!! There's no way people can't see you or your drums.
