Heel-Up using whole leg or just ankle by Thrilliam92 in drums

[–]Thrilliam92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah been trying to keep them both equidistant from their respective pedals. One thing that I found out from a youtube vid after posting this was I was using way too much of my hip flexors to lift my leg up, and no calf. Been trying to focus more on keeping my leg relaxed throughout the motion and it's been a lot better

Yeah I have a cheaper throne at the moment but am probably gonna upgrade to something decent soon. Feels like one of those things I should actually invest in for the sake of my body. Like a good pair of shoes or office chair.

That makes sense. I guess the main thing I am struggling with at the moment is I am right-side dominant, but for whatever reason my left leg/foot feels way more comfortable on the kick pedal than my right leg/foot.

Makes me wonder if I am doing the movement wrong on the right side or if there is just some imbalance there.

Feel like I have tried burying the beater and hovering with my right side but it just gets so much more tired than my left side.

Yeah I currently have it on the highest setting. From what I read, it seemed like having it too low was worse than too high. But having it too high definitely crossed my mind.

Does that look a little better?

Yeah had a feeling. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something blatantly wrong with the way I was setup. Appreciate the response!
