How do you sit?


How do you sit on your drum throne? High, low?

I sit sorta high. I feel I have better posture this way. (I could be wrong.)

I sit semi low-high so I guess some where in the middle, I know the biggest thing on sitting on there is posture but I am really bad about slouching over the kit and it just seems to get worst as I play faster untill I am almost hitting myself in the head (and it happens sometimes )

Yeah I'm high too. Literally not figuratively. And I've also got strangely good posture behind the drums. It's great for rehab if I've busted my back. Like I needed another excuse.

I like to sit on the edge of the throne, not too high, but definitely not low either. Usually it takes me a while to get comfortable but sitting on the throne comfortable can really help when reaching toms and playing beats. Also, good posture is key for endurance and good balance on the set.

I also sit kinda high. I don't really know why, but if I'm too low, I tend to not stretch my back, and it really damages my playing.

And it's nice that the audience is able to actually see you above the drums, and not just a pair of sticks sometimes appearing.
