The way you sit on the drum throne and its height vary depending on your height and physique. In general, it cannot be said that there is a correct answer, but you need enough height that the bass drum pedal can firmly stepped on. The height also changes the power of your step. Change the height of the chair and find the height that fits you best. At first let's sit so that the center of gravity where you do not sway. It is an ideal stance to straighten your spine and hit the drum.

The height of the throne generally has the following tendency.

When the throne is high, it's easy to play 2 bass drums!

Example: YOSHIKI of X Japan is a high throne (the person is sitting higher than the lower left picture). Aggressive approaches are more effective.

Conversely, there is a sense of stability at a lower height.

The strength of your stepis directly reflected on the bass drum. It is effective when you want to put out a laid back sound (groove said to be a second ride) by sitting low. Example: Drummers who lower their throne includes Jeff Pocaro.

You do not kick the pedal, but rather step on it (STOMP), and it is the key to making a better sound. At the same time, do not bend your toes, and step on the ball of the foot as a point of force.

There are also two ways to step on the pedal, leaving the heel slightly dropped or the heel slightly to the left (not attached to the pedal).
First let's step on the front 2/3 of the pedal. Once you get used to it, you will find other steps that you can easily such as shallow steps, deep steeps, and being aware of the power points.

When you step shallow, it's heavy. But you can step on it with less force : The image of a low gear such as in a car.
When you step deep…it's light, but you need to kick strongly: The image of a top gear such as in a car.
