Hey drummers

I have been playing the drums for 2 1/2 years now. Recently I have experienced some problems with my knees after playing. I have never had any problems with my knees, so I am somewhat concerned. I believe that I have pretty good technique, and cannot figure out what may be causing this. Anyone have any similar issues? If so, do you have any recommendations? Sometimes my wrists can get sore, but to have knee problems seems weird.

    hey,

    could be many things....


    ive been playing for a while now, but when i was just starting to
    take is seriously, and like practising loads, i started to get pains in the arms - turns out that, cos im a skinny fucker, i didnt have
    enough muscle strength, so my tendons started getting all
    messed up -very painfull and worrying,

    SO, i spent a bit of money on some advice - i joined a gym for a bit
    built up my arms, etc and it was all better - never had any problems since,

    i actually think the problem was that i was playing with loads of tension - thats what does most players the most damage - i wld say just make sure ure not atall tense when ure playing..............
    sorry if this is patronising, by the way..


    good luck
