Just about everyone here in the UK starts like this:

1. Kick
2. Snare
3. Hi Hats
4. Tom L
5. Tom R
6. Floor
7. Overhead (L)
(8. Overhead R)


After that you do what you want. Usually bass, followed by guitars, then
vocals.

I think the reasoning behind it is that any stage hand can mic up a drum kit
pretty quick without needing channel lists or long consultations.
Especially important at festivals, gigs with loads of bands and no sound
check etc.
