Seat height impacting bass drum?


Obviously the best idea would be to try and see...
I have been trying to push speed, control, endurance in my bass drumming.

I am wondering about my seat height though. Should I leave it alone or jack myself up a few inches? I am looking for all tips/comments that y'all want to share from your own experiences. Please comment on any advice you have regarding seat height and drumming. Personally I have tried this a few times and end up going back to my legs being parallel to the floor. Why? don't know... I just keep ending up there.
