Hey, Lafirin--if your back is hurting after practicing on your snare, you might want to check either how high (or low) your snare is setting OR how you're sitting in relationship to the snare.
Sounds to me like you're having to compensate by bending or stretching your back--while your arms may ache a little after your practice, your back shouldn't be.
As regards to pillow vs. snare, I thought that's why practice pads were developed ... besides, what happens if you beat the stuff'n out of the pillow? Could be messy if you sleep on feather pillows...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
