Hello!
I am new. Very new. 10 days playing for the first time ever new. I'm rather proud of myself, to be honest. Anyway. The -VERY FIRST THING- I discovered with drumming was that when I asked any drummer I knew for advice (on anything: kit setup, crash vs crash/ride, stool height, tom angle, hi-hat cymbal separation, etc.), the usual response was: "However you want to set it up, bro." Well, okay then. But I -know- for a fact that's not true. Even just watching the Drum Setup Wizard video, the -FIRST- thing taught (not a hack) about is making sure the stool is the right height. The closest I got told to do was to make my thighs parallel to the floor. Which, according to Emma, is too low. And her reasoning makes sense. So. Hell yes.

After a few months in or as they say “some time later…” I’ve switched to Vic Firth 5A. The Vater sticks aren’t as balanced as the Firth’s for me.
