I've been having some trouble with pain in my shoulders and arms. I'm certain it has to do with having too much tension in my body when practicing so..any tips for getting that tension out and keeping relaxed? My drum teacher (we're on break for the summer) told me I need to work on keeping my shoulders relaxed and try to sit up straight. It tends to be easier said than done. I think, for the most part, I'm not tensing my shoulders up as much but I'm still getting pain.
Also, any advice on throne height? I know some drummers like to sit really low but others sit up higher. I've tried raising my throne but I'm not really sure if it's helped or not.
Part of me feels that if I could get the throne height (and height/positioning of my drums for that matter) right for me, then I'd probably be well on my way to solving the tension in my body. I'm just not sure how to proceed in finding what's right for me.
