Hi Headshrinker2. Welcome to the forum! I was given a book titled "Anatomy of Drumming" and there's a section that focused on throne height and how it relates to supporting the hips as we play. Although there's no "one size fits all" rule, according to this book, having the thighs slightly angled downward helps support the hips. I have a few compressed disks in my neck and lower back and I'm trying to avoid any discomfort when I play the drums. I had to rethink my entire set up after experiencing pain in my right rotator cuff due to poor drum ergonomics.
How are things going since the surgery?
Are you playing now or will you consult with your surgeon before going all out?
