Hi
I have hypermobility Syndrome and possible Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Basically all my joints are very unstable I have to walk with a walking stick a lot of the time and that does not help much and some times my legs just sort of fold up under me. I'v dislocated my arm in my sleep by rolling on to it and basically all of my hurts all the time a bits come out there sockets and move more then they should.
I love playing the drums and the idea of not being able to as it can be very painful for me is not something that trills me much. So I am looking for ways to reduce the impact of drumming on my joints (yeah I'm not sure if that is possible as drumming is one repetitive and to tapping stuff with sticks).
So any ideas for ways I can reduce the impact of drumming on my joints? Aside from setting up my kit so I don't have to reach for things which I did already.
