Have your elbows hanging roughly half a foot away from your side, and remember: stay loose, don't tense up.
If you're getting tired or that style isn't working for you, you can hold the sticks like you're playing a snare in a marching band. Your elbows should be casually hanging by your sides, and you should stay loose don't tighten up your shoulders or wrists. Your fist shouldn't be too tight, and your lower three fingers should be curled around it, as you want to benefit from the rebound the pads provide without sending the sticks flying out of your hands. The usual method of holding the sticks is as follows: hold the stick in your fist, make sure there's a few inches of slack beneath your pinkie, then loosely support the top half with your thumb pressed against it. If you do, however, you couldn't really ask for anything better. Unless you already own a real drum set, chances are you're not going to invest in acquiring one of these. The nicest ones have actual support, though. The most ideal seating arrangement includes a drum throne, which appears to be a miniature bar stool.
On the other hand, if your knee is about level with the bottom of your rib cage-or you otherwise have to make awkward movements to use the pedal-then you should probably get a different chair. If it's bent at a near 90-degree angle and you're able to comfortably operate the pedal, you're set. You also don't want a chair that's too short nor too tall, and to determine if it's of the right height, you'll use your leg as a guideline. Instead, you should use something solid with a flat seat, like a chair from a dining set. Because of this, armchairs, sofas, beanbags and their cushy ilk are all out of the question. You're held to an entirely different set of standards, and they require good back support. Relaxing on the couch might be fine for most party games, but that doesn't work for a drummer. Next is positioning, which is one of the most important considerations in your preparing to rock. Remember to release from your positions slowly, or you risk shocking your muscles and causing cramps.
Bending your arms over your head is a start, while some basic runner's stretches will work for your legs. At the very least, you should treat your arms and legs to a good, five-seconds-or-less stretch a piece. You can either go all out and prep like you're an Olympiad, or you can play it cool by keeping things simple. Go ahead and enjoy them, but have water around to dilute their effects and keep your muscles happy. Juices, carbonated beverages, and most energy drinks-which usually aren't any better than soda- won't help you last. If you're going to be drumming away for a half hour or more, have some water handy. World Tour is a perfect party game, but if you don't want to feel like trash when your friends go home, don't drink booze alone. There are various means of preparing yourself, and these include: HYDRATION As you excel and reach the Hard and Expert difficulties, you'll need to last through repeat drumming on the pads and frequent use of the pedal. With the most physically demanding instrument, the drums of World Tour call for stamina and coordination.
