247 – Anatomy of Drumming with John Lamb
I can’t count how many times I’ve received emails and questions about posture, seat height, snare height, etc. The truth is, I don’t have enough background or information to give an educated answer. I’ve always “done what feels right” for me, but I have no idea of that will work for you. Luckily, John Lamb does! John has authored “The Anatomy of Drumming” and has a B.S. in Music, Biology and Psychology and a Masters in Education with specialties in Training and Development, Teaching Adults and eLearning. Not to mention he’s been playing professionally in and around the US and Asia since he was 15…so it’s safe to say, he’s the go-to guy when it comes to the anatomy of drumming.
