I'm pretty tall and I've had real trouble arranging my set up comfortably - I'm always changing it round. I've got a saddle style stool and I started to think that maybe this design actually impedes my leg movement. My feet are definitely the weakest area of my playing and sometimes I really do think it's down to seat style and also probably an inability to find the proper height, distance from drums etc etc... But generally when I'm on a saddle style seat I can't play heel up. Just lifting one leg up slightly sends me off balance and toppling over sideways.
Does anyone have any informed views on how much a seat can affect your ability to use pedals and what different stools can do for posture and general leg mobility?
