Can you take 1 tom off your drum kit?

I have been playing the Drums since I was 9 years old. (I just turned 30 a few weeks ago) And sure...you can take 1 even 2 toms off your kit. It's totally up to you and what sound you are looking for. If you are familiar with the band "The Presidents Of The United States of America" you'll notice that the Drummer "Jason Finn" uses only "one" tom in his entire setup which is a floor tom. I've seen several popular drummers use just two toms in their set-up. Like Tre Cool from Green Day. He'll use a 7x10 Tom and a 14x16 Floor Tom. It's really up to you. You don't have to stick with the standard 3 tom set-up to achieve a great sound. Hope this helped.

What does a 5 piece drum set with hardware include?

I'm not really sure I understand this question, but I'll try my best.When determining how many pieces of a drumset, the cymbals are not included. Ever. Cymbals are extra and are not included in the "pieces" of a drumet, as only the actually drums are counted. A drumset with three toms, a snare drum, a bass drums, hi-hat, crash, ride and splash is a five piece drum set because it has three toms, one bass and on snare. 3+1+1=5. if you took the same drumset and added one bass, two toms, two crashes and a splash, it would still only be an eight piece set. 5 (toms) + 2 (basses) +1 (snare) = eight (drums).I'm not sure if this answers your question or not, but I hope it sets you in the right direction.
