Most of you reading this are likely not professional drummers and may play in a band or in your basement.  Your day job directly affects your health and joint mechanics.  Office workers who sit have loads of health issues such as; Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Low Energy, Poor Posture, Slowed Digestion and more Chronic Pain! 

  Shop workers or more blue-collar type jobs which require manual labor are more back-building jobs, and office work is actually back-breaking.  Sitting on a throne after sitting in a chair all day can be very taxing to your back.  How ironic is it that we sit all day yet have ever increasing back problems?  This is all based on the “use it or lose it principle”, when you sit in a chair for hours on end, your muscles atrophy.  When your back and core muscles are called upon to sit on a throne and play for an extended period of time, you feel it! 

  Training away from your kit and career are key to long term success behind your drum kit...
