Posture
« on: November 13, 2006, 08:42:01 PM »
Wasup LGM this is your stepchild FlamTap. I had a question for you guys. One was can I get some suggestions on fills for some shout music? I've been playing and it's like I have nothing new as far as fills.It's like I'm being to repetitive. I need some idealology on that. The next question was, well I've been having back problems lately. I know it stems from how I sit on the set. I slouch over sometimes, I know that's bad posture. What I wanted to know was how can I sit on the throne without having back pain? Holla at me with your response.

Just to add to what Sabe said, look at clips of Nathaniel Townsley behind the kit. He has excellent posture behind the drum kit. He looks both relaxed and intense at the same time. Note that his back always remains straight, even during cross stick patterns, which is when drummers tend to get out of posture most often.
My goal as a musician is to be better than myself.
