Drum playing position?

[Jules]

Hi Tommy

You seem to play sitting down quite low, with your knees higher than your chair and your cymbals seem really high off the drums - that must make engineers deliriously happy! (Also it always looks cool for rock drummers to reach high for cymbal hits).

Did you always have your drums set like that or did it evolve over time..?

I wish all the drummers I worked with left that much space between the toms and overheads! Your hihat seems a zillion miles away from the snare!

Anyhow, it looks and sounds cool - props!

Rock on!
