Music Factory

When I was young, my mom and dad were constantly pestering me about “sitting up straight” at the dinner table. Eventually I developed better posture – more out of an effort to avoid their nitpicking than anything else. Little did I know at the time that my way of sitting perfectly upright would serve me well in my amateur music career. I took up the drums a few years later, and the rest is history.

Slouching stands among the biggest faux pas a drummer can commit. Not only will slouching leave you woefully out of position during a performance, but it can also do long-term structural damage to your lower back. Once you’ve established a comfort level with a particular seated posture, you can adjust the height of your drumsets to optimize the experience.
