This has ALWAYS been a problem with most drummers I’ve worked with. In the years when I was touring drummer, I always used the Buddy Rich approach…snare, kick, 1-mount tom, 1-floor tom, hi-hat, 1-ride cymbal, 1-crash cymbal, and enough common sense and talent to make them sound like a huge Alex Van Halen drum kit. I didn’t have to compensate my ability with a huge kit like many others.
…and another thread hijack. Apologies to the OP.
