After playing a cocktail kit for five years, and standing through three sets per night
I started using a bar stool, and a snare case on my left foot - really changed
my approach to the Cocktail kit - plus I can stand up when I want to - for
visual or just for the fun of it. It's a much different feeling, when your able to
be eye to eye with the rest of the band.

Sitting in a high position gives you much more technique on the kick drum
and the left foot on the snare case - I drop a tamborine on it, and my remote high hat
pedal -

it's pretty great... check them out at www.metrodrum.com

Great idea! I wouldn't want to stand all night and I don't think I could play my kick as well standing as sitting.

I found that by using a tom case ( 12 x 15 ) cover in a heavy fabric, I place my left foot on it, and place a tamborine, on it, I can get a hi hat - jingle effect on many tunes. I have even had the sound tech's mic it up..
