Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't remember Travis Barker or Tre Cool sitting this high with the snare so low in other videos years ago...

Is there some sort of benefit to this that people are realizing now?

I tried it myself and find it very unnatural, so I'm wondering if I just need to stick with it to get more comfortable? Naturally, I sit so my knee angle is just above 90 degrees and my elbow to snare is about 90 degrees, maybe a tad more.

Feels like it's some sort of Dave Elitch kind of new wave posture thing...

Well played, DW.

Did I *need* a new snare stand? No.

Did I *want* this fancy new stand? Yes... but it's so expensive...

But when I opened that box and saw each part has its own cloth protective sleeve to keep this stand oh-so-shiny-and-scratch-free... It justified the whole purchase in my head.

So yeah, well played, DW.
