A good drummer will sound good on anything(even stock drum heads). A bad drummer will sound bad on anything.
Everyone has different opinions on this issue.I'm 6' 2" and sat on a 5 gallon bucket with a stool top on it for yrs.I couldn't find a stool that went low enough.I always turned a deaf ear to the *that technique is wrong*..It's my technique and it works for ME, so what makes it wrong.I say sit where you're comfortable and where it works for you.
Thanks, i agree with both of you. I used to have my seat pretty high and was really inaccurate at hitting the drums. Ive noticed much improvement putting my stool lower. Cheers
Seat height is paramount to what makes playing drums comfortable for you as a player. I don't think it matters whether it's high or low...whatever works to make it comfortable without risking hurt and harm to arms, knees and back. Technique, however, has more to do with how well we play: clean, precise and control of the sticks and timing. That is nothing to turn a deaf ear towards.
There's a lot to be said for Time Honored tradition and value.

it really depends on what makes you comfortable when you play. experiment with different seating arragements and see which one feels right to you. just make sure it doesn't cause strains on your legs

GO UTEP MINERS!!!
It's generally advised to keep your knees at right angles or more. You can if you want to, but I would advise sitting with your hips at knee height or higher.
