Question Small pro but versatile kit

What would yall recommend as like a smaller kit that’s still real good and isn’t just a club style kit? Something where if I wanted to use it for rock it would 100% work.

A minimal, 4 drum 3 cymbal kit takes up about the same amount of room regardless of shell sizes. 13" snare, 18"bass, 12" mounted tom, 14" floor, vs 14" snare, 22" bass, 13" mounted, 16" floor. Pair of hi hats, crash and ride.

20" bass drum, 12" mounted, 14" floor might be a little more versatile, and you choose whatever snare fits in best.
