"Hi my name is Chris and now we are going to talk about posture. Posture is very key to keeping time and keeping form. Now then, when you are playing a drum set if you are hunched over you are more likely to be less accurate when playing drums. Let me demonstrate. Okay, notice that I was hunched over, okay.
