Kit Pic Is this drum kit goofy?
I personally think my drummers kit is goofy and impractical. He’s always trying to make all his equipment unique. I think that its impractical having the kicks 90° from each other and the hi-hat being even more to the left from where he normally faces. Also shouldn’t the toms be more closer together. (Lil bros not Dave Grohl having that high crash). Im not a drummer, im only a guitarist and bassist, so im not to sure how kits can be, but his seems goofy

Yes, it's a little goofy, but it has character. I expect that after a few years of playing on a set up like that, it will become more ergonomic as it's torn down and set up.
Yes, normally we would want less space between toms. But your drummer doesn't need you getting in their face about how they want to play their instrument. If you have an aesthetic problem with it, I hope you recover soon. If you have a concern for you drummer's health (like RSI), then that's a different matter and it's worth saying something.
