Neck pains playing drums?

[biggs1028]

Does anyone get neck pains when you play like 3-4 songs on drums. i always do i can get like 1-2 songs before i start getting pains in my neck and im not sure if its just my bad spine or does everyone else get it.

maybe its your posture.do you slouch cause if so that puts a lot of strain o your back and neck.use a chair with a backrest too

Yes i did have a backrest chair but i always leaned forward because i always did better and its harder when i lean back against the backrest. I also do sloch which is the obvious problem but i can't find a way to stop doing it and play good on drums

After an hour or so of solid playing, my neck gets painfully sore. A little drumstick massage between songs eases the pain a little
