This video is also useful in developing your lip-reading skills.

Unless you can actually read while watch... You know how drummers have multi taking skills and attention spans longer than a gold fish. Excellent info

[@JP-xf6pv]

Upon reading comments, I realized the original video must have been low in audio quality. My bad

[@Danfromoverthere]

I had 7 spine surgeries and arthritis in hands so your videos are saving my drumming life

[@dacow4eva]

This is gold, and hands down the best ergonomics clinic for drummers I’ve ever come across. Thank you...

[@johnbelfiglio562]

I had to stop for this reason. I have had 7 back surgeries, not related to drumming, but it made me realize that I wasn’t sitting as comfortably as I could be as it did cause my back to hurt more. Once I found my “sweet spot “ I had almost no pain while playing!

Why does this dude not have more followers?? The only other resource for genuine drum ergonomics seems to be Dave Elitch!

[@jkevinAH]

thanks for this, just recently bought an edrum kit and really struggling with positioning everything with proper height

[@mikesmith1290]

Same here. I’ve had mine for 3 years now, and am still adjusting stuff. I’m tearing it down again, and am using this guide once and for all!

[@Nickysticksofficial]

Thanks Brandon!

[@FedericoSala]

Really good tips for better ergo! Thanks brandon!!

[@NiteTerrors]

Volume is low

[@brandondrummechanics]

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m really sorry about that! This video and the subsequent videos were all produced in 2017 when I was very inexperienced with making videos. Unfortunately the volume will be low on the next few. Please bear with me! Sadly I don’t have the master files. Hopefully you’re able to find some content that you enjoy! I promise more high-quality content will be coming soon!!!

Brandon Green no worries. I specialize in Audio (Restoration/ Mastering). I can work on the audio to bring them up to level and also reduce most of the reverb on the older videos.

[@ubiras1000]

informative video. very helpful. but he audio was too low

[@deanmccormick7347]

How does this relate to heel down players? Can we get away with playing (slightly) lower?

[@brandondrummechanics]

The same Active ROM assessment apply! As long as you have the motion open, you're good!

[@HotRodCVO]

Not sure if my throne is the right height but I may need hearing aids.

[@johncontrada]

thoughts on distance of throne from bass drum?

[@brandondrummechanics]

Great question. I’ll do a video on this. Thank you for a great idea

[@freedomgardens5296]

CAPTIONS PRETTY PLEASE SO I CAN READ AND DRUM GOD'S BLESSINGS

[@beau5296]

It would be incredibly easy to raise the volume on this video even without the master file. Worth reuploading I cant hear a thing.

[@DingYanglan]

Thank you for your sharing, that's so helpful~Do you have the intention for business cooperation and leave your e-mail?

[@AustinPetDetective]

How about making a video about getting the sound of your video right ?

[@peterm3352]

No sound!

[@mikepalmer1971]

i had to turn it way up to hear it.

[@DarrenX9]

I hate having to wade through an 11 minute video to find the 15 seconds of useful information.

[@brandondrummechanics]

Thanks for the constructive comment! Fortunately for you, this video was recorded five years ago and I believe I’ve gotten far more efficient with more recent contact. Thanks for your patience.
