Well do they? Here's what I mean:
For the past few weeks while playing I have felt really uncomfortable behind my kit but couldn't figure out why. Tonight I realized I feel really short behind the drums and I am sitting too low.
So my main question is since I am 15 and still getting taller, should i have to adjust the height of my throne as my legs grow?
I like to have my legs angled down at about a 45 degree angle and adjusted my whole kit for that just this spring, but tonight my legs were almost parallel to the floor. In that time I know for a fact I have added an inch or two and about 20 lbs. Older guys talk about how they searched for years before they found their perfect setup but they are older and done with the growth spurts. If you think about it if my drums were set up how they were when i just started i would be WAY too big. And as your arms feel too long you also tend to scoot the drums away a little, too. Also, is it maybe that my pearl throne is slipping a little bit and gradually getting lower every time i sit on it? Maybe this is a reason that, as a beginner, it is harder to get that perfect setup.
This may be a dumb question or one that does not matter or has already been anwered but I am curious.
