They are just trying to emulate some of the old catalogs pictures, ya know the wider the foot print the better the drums!

My personal favorite, vertical drumheads.

Vertical drum heads are impressive although in that picture I'm a bigger fan of the upside down hi-hat bottom...

With having the toms vertical, the sound will project more into the audience.....
