Hi guys, just wanna ask how you guys actually sit when you play the drums, namely the height. Do you sit high or low, or somewhere in between, and why? Sitting high makes me feel like i'm on top of the drums but sitting low makes me feel like i'm behind the drums if you know what i mean. Thanks...

Anybody here got a favourite rudiment? Or something that they can rip across the kit? I personally love the paradiddle-diddle, or rlrrll. Steve Gadd was the first to rip it up. Can use in on crazy cymbal crashes too. Great crowd pleaser. Oh, and Swiss army triplets too. Great fun, those. :D
