So I recently returned to drumming with a full band again and doing shows, however I've noticed that some things are a lot different body wise for me than when I last drummed at 23/24 (I'm 32 now).
I practice at home with an electric kit and then an acoustic with the band, lately I've been getting these weird aches and pains in my hips/pelvic region, also my butt aches after sitting for more than 20 mins or so on my current stool.
Anyone got any posture/ergonomic tips to help? I can't afford to splash out on a new drum throne right now so that's out of the question. I'm kind of figuring that in my younger days I didn't pay attention to what I was doing with my body I just drummed! Now a slightly older person (who's not in as good shape) I'm starting to feel it!
