I put my snare a little higher than my knees and i havent turned back. ... There is a tremendous variety in snare drum position.
Neil- "In fact, I have never lowered my throne, just raised the drums around it. That began when I studied with Freddie Gruber in the ’90s. His teaching was largely about one’s physical approach to the drum set, and the major hardware change I made at that time was moving my throne back, to give a more natural physical approach to bass drum and cymbals.
I also raised my snare drum — a lot — so that its striking surface was at navel height, the center of gravity for the male body.
All of that has definitely worked for me, ergonomically, particularly in the all-important factor of avoiding injury. All motions of hands and feet, arms and legs, are now natural, and my back is arched evenly over the drums, without pain or strain." so that's the best advice..............
