I did play one of his kit during one tour in Portugal, I just had to bring a hi-hat stand.
Paco is really short guy, that's why he's nicknamed The Pygmy.
But now he plays a 24" BD, but he's eaten VERY low, because his size, so snare, hi-hat and floor toms are all low, rack tom very high because the 24" BD I guess, and he leads left hand ala Billy Cobham.
Yes he was THE perfect drummer for Joe, I did 4 or 5 tours with the legendary Joe Zawinul, and believe me, each nights while having fun I was thinking to myself, "Paco would be so damn perfect instead of my sorry ass..."

But I was playing Joe's music my way, and I believe Joe not that unhappy with me.
Paco playing the sanza.

Here his kit was more playable than now, but the hi-hat is definitely way too low...

And I agree, Paco is a GENIUS! I saw him play a kalimba solo with Joe that brought down the house, imagine that? He was the perfect drummer for Zawinul too , like Cornell Rochester, Paco was always "right on the edge." (And he sat with his shoulders square too. HA!) It's a shame he and Joe didn't get to work together that much.
Pretty cool that you subbed in Sixun, but I hope you didn't have to play Paco's kit. The way he sets up is so "unique," but it almost hurts me to look at it. I saw him once live, and could not believe how he got around on such an uncomfortable looking set up (and I'm NOT talking about the "open handed thing.")

What a GREAT show! But look at that kit (I wonder if they were his drums?) Small tom above the ride, mounted toms were WAAAY high, snare well below the top rim of the BD and even further below the tops of his legs, (much of this was probably caused by the) HUGE bass drum, the octapad is mounted too close for comfort, a flat mounted to the FAR left of the hh and his main ride, and how do you even reach the china that is to the left of the flat?
But man does he make it work!!!! GENIUS! Great music!!! I love that whole band!
