What is the largest drum set you can get?

Is the drum is the most important piece of a drum set?
The most basic drum kit is a 4-piece: snare drum, bass drum, mounted/rack tom, and a floor tom. Also, 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash cymbal, and a 20" ride are pretty standard. The sizes aren't that important, but these sizes are the most common. It's possible to get by without a floor tom or a ride cymbal if absolutely necessary, but the set up listed is pretty bare boned as it is.
Who had the largest drum kit in a rock band?
Michael Portnoy's "Mirage Monster" is a 20-piece kit. A few guys had really large kits--Neil Peart, Joey Jordison and John Dolmayan come to mind--but Portnoy's is the king. At least one of Portnoy's kits was designed so that two players could play it at the same time--this for drum duets during Dream Theater shows. Now, if you'd included players who weren't in any one band, Terry Bozzio's got probably the biggest kit going--the "SS Bozzio." -If I'm not mistaken, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has a Guinness Book of World Records entry for playing the largest drum kit consisting of 308 pieces. Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa et al) presently tours with this kit. Not sure how big, but daunting to say the least. 21 foot pedals help run this monster
