let`s talk posture and ergonomics!

[kyrre laastad]

hi all,

i`m interested in info on how you guys are sitting when playing the drums. i
see a lot of drummers sitting quite low with their drums tilted towards
them, to me this seems quite unnatural. when i tilt the drums towards me i
feel that my stroke gets cut off before it`s finished; i don`t get to follow
through the stroke, and this also seems hard on the wrists. i`ve been
through periods where i`ve tilted the snare quite radically away from me and
very low to get the feel of following through the stroke, but i found that
this made it too hard to do fast singles from the snare to the tom rapidly
due to the distance (i never quite get that tom as low as i want to, because
it`s on a stand).

now i sit as high as possible on the drum stool (i just love that word ; ),
so that my thighs are pointing downwards with the snare so high that when i
hit it my hand almost comes in contact with my thigh (i play heel down
mostly, only use heel up for song endings and such). i put the tom right in
front of it as low as possible (ideally just half an inch or so above the
snare) and flat. my bass drum points away from me and i have it quite a
distance away from me, so i try to put the floor-tom about as long distance
away from me as my snare, also it being flat.

my hi-hat is quite low, so that i hit it on the top unless i intend not to.
the spacing between the bottom and the top cymbal is as long as possible; i
like to put my left foot down as far as my right, and i use the bottom
cymbal quite a lot on it`s own. my left hand cymbal is a bit higher than my
hi-hat and i take care that it doesn`t cover to much of the tom. my right
hand cymbal is on a boom (it has to be, due to my bass drum positioning) and
i have postitioned so that i can do singles from the tom to the floor-tom
without it getting in the way, but also close enough to be able to roll from
cymbal to cymbal via the snare. the height is about the same as the
left-hand. they`re both quite low, so that i don`t have to tilt them too
much towards me to not crash them (the whole follow through stroke thingie
of mine;). to the right of the right-hand cymbal i have a small and lovely
14" crash inverted with two rivets positioned about the same height as the
other cymbals over my floor-tom .

that`s how i feel is most natural for me to play the drums.

i would love to hear how you guys sit, though : )

regards,
--kyrre

[Steve Vallee]

I don't like when I sit down at the church kit and there's a big wall of
toms and cymbals in front of my face. I set up so I'm looking over
everything and have good eye contact with everyone I'm playing with.

I sit so that the tops of my thighs are almost parallel to the floor - maybe
a tad higher. I use a SoundSeat bicycle style seat with a standard
backrest.
My snare drum is tilted a wee bit toward the right and ever so slightly away
from me (and I ordinarily play traditional grip).
I do not sit with my chest parallel to the bass drum, but instead slightly
turned toward the hihat side so that both my feet sit squarely on the bass
drum and hihat pedals in a natural position.
My rack toms are tilted toward me, not radically, so I can easily do rim
shots on them if I want to, but no so much so that the stick doesn't "stab"
down into them when I play. The smaller (10") rack tom (directly in front
of the snare drum) is higher by a few inches than the snare drum's far edge,
but I have practiced getting to it very rapidly and effortlessly for when I
do a run around the drums, so it isn't a technical problem.
My floor tom is slightly lower than my snare drum and the surface of it is
slightly angled toward me.
My hihat cymbals are neither too low nor too high, and when I play it with
my right hand stick, it's quite comfortable, and I can use the shoulder of
the stick on the hat's edge or the bow of the top cymbal without any major
adjustment with my right arm. I adjust the distance betwween the hat
cymbals according to the length of the foot stroke I want on the hihat
stand, and so I can do splashes with the hihat pedal easily. I'm guessing
about an inch and a half apart.

I am not presently using any boom stands (on my jazz setup) - all my cymbals
are tilted toward me. 22" ride on my right, 20" ride on my left with an 8"
or 10" piggy-backed Splash, 16" or 18" dark crash-type to the right and just
above the primary (22") ride and a 20" Pang with rivets down low on the
extreme right.
I have a Black Beauty cowbell and an Englehart Clave Bell stacked and both
mounted on an L-arm clamp off the main ride stand, hanging over the floor
tom's far hoop.

That's about it.

Mark:

My set up sounds a lot like yours with the exception that I place my two
rack toms a little more to the left so the two rack toms and the snare from
an equilateral triangle. My cowbell is mounted on the bass drum hoop and is
hard to get at. Maybe I will move it to where you have yours!

Silly reasoning, but jus so y'all know. My sister told me in no
uncertain terms that when I play my drums I need to put my cymbals off
to the side or low enough so the ladies can see me back there. It has
indeed been some of the best <ahem> advice I ever did recieve...

Of course, I normally play my kit low anyways, but I'd like to think
my sister's insight got me "lucky" on more then just a few occasions.
I must make cute faces when I'm playing or something... ;-)

Seriously tho, I love playing my 8-10-14+20 kit just for the simple
reason that they cut thru very nicely and it's so comfy to play the
kit when the drums are right there and not a few feet away.

I have the three toms arranged so that as I swing my arm to move the stick
from the center of each tom to the next, the radius of the the arm movement
from my body as center remains about the same, or at least in keeping with
the natural movement of my arm.
I always found the centered cowbell idea on the bass drum hoop difficult,
because it then restricts the use of my floor tom to some degree.

kyrre laastad wanted everyone in rec.music.makers.percussion to know that

for me, what's most natural is having most everything flat or close to
it. the floor tom and snare are 100% parallel to the floor. the rack
tom's about 3" higher than the snare, tilted very slightly (10 degrees
maybe). the hi-hat top is the height of the rack tom. i use a 20-22"
ride on the right, about 3-4" higher than the rack tom, angled pretty
well (about 20 to 30 degrees). the left-side cymbal is about the same
angle and slightly higher. optional far-right cymbal is about the height
of the far left cymbal, similar angle.

i sit about 2" above having my legs parallel to the floor. not
incredibly high, but not low enough to make me do extra work to move my
legs. i like to have the drums set fairly high in relation to my body.
i guess the snare (and floor tom, since they're the exact same height)
is about 1-2" above my lap.

i find that having the drums flat (or close to it) enables me to get a
great rebound out of them. they just feel great this way; i really feel
like i'm playing *off* of them rather than *through* them. also, i like to
play near the rims of the drums a lot and that's much easier this way as
well.

That's all just too much typing for me. Can't I just send you a picture?
I would say the general answer is - "Slouched"... I'd say most drummers sit
slouched over their set. :-)

[John P.]

This all made me think of an ad I saw in Drum magazine.

How about the snare centered on your BD, in between your rack toms?

Have any of you seen, or tried, the "Off-Set Double Bass Drum Pedal"?
Beaters in the middle with the pedals off to the right and left side.

If you haven't seen it, you can check it out at:
http://www.pointtremolo.com/off-set_basspedal.pdf

[Brandon Paluzzi]

I'll walk you through my set-up procedure, which gives you a pretty good
idea of the set up. First thing set up is the throne (Tama cloth 1st
Chair w/ backrest). Thighs slightly above parallel with the ground. I
sit down with chest parallel to front of stage, and let my legs fall
naturally (comfortably). Hi hat and kick pedal are placed under where my
legs fall. Kick drum (22) is then added. Snare positioned so that my
arms make a 90 degree angle when holding my hands 2" above the head. Right
side very slightly (about 1") lower than left. Flat on the
"front-to-back" axis.

Tom 2 (10") goes in the standard "4-piece" configuration, angled very
slightly towards me (front side 1.5" lower than back side, front side
about 3" higher than the snare). Tom 3 (16" on legs) angled slightly
towards me, with the low side even with the snares low side. Tom 1 (8")
goes between the two, above the bass drum rim (similar to where a hoop
mounted cowbell would go). Centers of all three toms are equidistant from
the center of the snare.

Ride is in same left/right and front/back position as a standard 4-piece,
but raised to allow it to clear the 8" tom on hard crashes. Angled
towards me, but not so much that I can't shoulder-crash the cymbal.

LH crash (18") between hats and 10" tom, at same height and angle as ride.
RH crash (16") above and to the left of the bell of the ride. If I'm
playing on the ride bell (w/ thumbs up grip), I only need to turn my wrist
to hit it.

Hats relatively low for most people, but I do a fair amount of LH lead,
and it's more comfortable with lower hats, for me.


That's the setup I use for 90% of my playing. For bigger/longer gigs,
I'll bring the big set:


Kick the same, but with slave from double pedal inside of the hat pedal
Remote hat pedal to the outside of the right hand (main) kick pedal
Remote hats to the right of the ride, under the 16" crash
10"/8" toms the same
12" tom and 14" tom on right side in "double floor tom" configuration
16" tom to left of hats
7" and 8" splashes above rack toms (w/ 7" slightly higher)
tambourine between the 12" and 14" "floor toms"
6" splash directly above tambourine (to the right of remote hats)
20" china to extreme right, at same height as 16" crash


I don't use that kit that much anymore, because it's just a royal pain in
the arse =)

Wow. Seriously detailed.

My setup procedure is... place everything so that it looks kind of like it
did last time it was set up. Play. :-)

I'll walk you through my set up procedure:
1. Do what Brandon did.
2. Take magic marker and mark around everything on drum rug.
3. Thereafter do what john does.

Whoops, sorry to leave that part out =)

Everything is magic markered + memory locked. If there were no memory
locks, I bought set collars from the hardware store. If they didn't have
the right size collar, I bought a hose clamp =)
