With the coccyx as the fulcrum, the boat is straight to the waist, sitting in the front half of the drum stool, and the legs are naturally separated. The height of the drum stool should be slightly lower than the horizontal plane. When the feet are naturally placed on the pedal, the distance between the drum stool and the drum is about 95 degrees.
Note: the purpose of sitting in the first half of the tambourine stool is to let your legs relax naturally, which is conducive to the future performance of your feet; Moreover, sitting in the first half of the tambourine stool will make you feel a sense of danger, and your waist will naturally straighten to avoid slipping and falling.
Second, the correct way to hold the mallet.
The methods of holding the hammer when playing drum set are divided into traditional method and natural method. Here we mainly explain the natural law. Stretch out the index finger and middle finger of the left hand to make a V, and the right hand picks up the chicken leg and puts it in the middle of the V, near the position of 1/3 at the end of the chicken leg. The right hand matches the end of the chicken leg with the lifeline of the palm of the left hand, and naturally bends the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, and the right hand will leave. At this point, the chicken leg in the palm of the left hand is naturally controlled by the middle finger, and the chicken leg is in a straight line with the forearm.
Pick up the drumstick with your right hand according to the above method. The palms of your hands are naturally downward, and the head of the drumstick is placed near the center of snare drum, so that your hands are naturally relaxed and your elbows are naturally perpendicular to your sides. At this point, the angle of the drumstick should be about 80 degrees (depending on the width of the students' shoulders), and the drumstick and forearm are still in a straight line. Gently bypass the chicken leg with your index finger and approach the middle finger, and put your thumb on the side of the chicken leg to complete the grip.
Description: The requirement of palm down is based on the natural movement structure of human wrist joint, which makes the player always in a natural state of relaxation during hitting the ball; The purpose of keeping the drumstick and the forearm in a straight line is to make the forearm and the drumstick form a straight line channel, so that the performance can quickly transfer the force to the hitting point at the head of the drumstick through this straight line channel, and naturally produce a granular hitting sound effect in the contact between points.
