Hi
I've been drumming for a number of years now but recently I've started to have really bad back pains because of standing up for 8 hours a day in work in hard shoes and just generally having bad posture. My throne is a pretty basic one that I got with my starter kit many moons ago... and my floor is carpeted. Recently I can only play for 30 minutes or so at a time before my back (lower back especailly) feels like its going to explode and leave me as just a head with limbs.
I think the problem might be that my floor is so soft that my weight isn't rooted... or also just the generally bad quality of the throne, the top doesn't tighten all the way and neither do the legs because of rust (it spent a lot of time in my friends shed)
Is there anything I can do aside from splashing out on a new seat? (which I will most certainly be doing very soon anyway)
Thanks!
