It what ever YOU the drummer feel more comfortable playing at. For example I'm most comfortable with the pads a little above my waist and about a foot and a half away from me.

Just figured I would throw in my 2 cents... I am a REAL drummer.
The most important thing is that you are comfortable.
So for the pads try to have them at a height where you can relax your arms and still play, I set up my real kit so that I do not have to extend my arms to much and took the same approach with RB. Make sure that you sit straight up.
As for your legs, I like to have my thigh parallel with the ground.
Do not lift up your foot to play the pedal, because this will tire you out.
Hope this helps...
