🎧 Welcome to a super insightful episode of the Worship Drummer Podcast! We’ve got the drumming whiz Brandon Green with us, diving deep into the art of mastering drumming ergonomics. Known for his awesome YouTube channel "Drum Mechanics," Brandon spills the beans on preventing injuries and boosting performance for all you drummers out there. We chat about gearing up for those marathon drumming sessions, whether it's for back-to-back church services or long gigs. Brandon shares some cool tips on prepping both before and on the day, mixing regular practice with smart moves like balanced caffeine intake for keeping sharp.

In our convo, we really dig into the importance of drumming ergonomics, tackling common injuries like carpal tunnel, thumb strains, and back issues. Brandon gives some killer advice on picking the perfect drum throne to match your body, kind of like custom orthotics, for comfort and long-term health. He’s not a fan of those hydraulic drum seats, instead, he’s all about setups that keep your spine healthy and stable. Plus, he introduces us to the Drum Forever Fitness Program and a drum set ergonomics course aimed at boosting health and performance. You’ll feel Brandon’s passion for helping drummers play longer and enjoy more, and he invites you to check out his stuff on Instagram and YouTube. Don’t miss out on this episode – it’s packed with tips to help you play better, longer, and pain-free!
