Hi guys.
I'm new to the discussion forum.
I've been playing drums for 3 years now. I only have one kick pedal.
I've noticed my right calf and my tibia (shin bone) on my lower right leg is extremely developed.
I also play alot of songs that involve opening the hi hat alot while playing so My left foot and ankle feel extemely developed as well.
The problem with these being developed is that my legs feel imbalanced because my left ankle and foot feels more developed than my right one & my right tibia and calf feel more developed than my left one. The thing is I don't have any pain, it's just my foot, shin & calf tend to get really stiff when I stand which becomes very uncomfortable. I have really long legs so I've tried adjusting my drum stool so my knees are at a 90 degree angle and I even sit back a little bit so that I feel like I have more leg room. I also stretch and do range of motion exercises for my ankles and shins but they still tend to feel tight.
I really don't know what else to do? Is there anybody else out there that has similar problems while playing drums? Help would be much appreciated
