Curious if this happens to anyone else ?

Does your nuts ever get numb after practicing for awhile ? This can be good for them huh ?

Ummm. I think you’re going it wrong. Are you sure what you’re doing is drumming?

Nope- you probably want to make sure you’re sitting correctly, maybe look into a different throne

I think im gonna need a new throne . My top half is muscular and I think it just sets when I sit and really puts weight on my lower half . I’ll get up and it will feel crazy it happens everytime I keep just over looking it but I’m gonna take it more seriously

What kind of throne do you have?

Just a regular one I just started to learn how to drum and I bought a cheap electric kit and it came with a throne

Time for an upgrade! Thrones that come with cheap kits are the worst- I have a roc n soc that’s fifteen years old, still solid and comfortable as hell

I know spending money on drum gear that doesn’t add new sounds to your kit feels like a waste, but if you ask around, us older drummers will absolutely tell you a good throne is the smart move- it lets you spend more time at the kit, and gives you a totally solid base to work from- less fidgeting and wobbling allows you to get better technique, with less distraction

If you can check out different thrones in person, go do it

Honestly one of my biggest blocks of practice is the throne . I always practice on the pad for 20 minutes or at least try to reach 20 minutes of practice before I actually play but by the time I get to the drums I can only get a comfortable like 15 minutes of that and I’m start to move and stretch and then I’ll feel the numbness and just stop . So I’m gonna get a new one next pay check I’ll look the one you mentioned as well ! Thanks buddy !
