Rudess_rotating_keyboard_stand using multi-pedals is a cause for concern & awkward to control while standing. This is a decision that must be just right for any individuals comfort level. I dont think there is a wrong or right.

Like UD said, it's all about body language - moving about, behind the keys. Also, as UD said, I have better breathing for singing (without the basketball), which I do 99% of the time. _________________________ Yamaha 920 / Yamaha DGX-670 / Maui 5 Go (2) / Senn e935 / Sony C80 / Tascam DP24sd / ATEM Mini Pro switcher (studio)

Zuki....I'm trying to understand. Does moving around somehow a must when standing & playing? I have seen some really bad overweight players trying to groove if you want to call it that and it really looks awkward to watch & for me took away from the performance causing a distraction. Some people in large Hawaiian shirts should really sit-down & let their talent as a player take over vs body language. I personally think sitting lets you concentrate more on playing....but that's just me.

zuki Senior Member Registered: 09/20/02 Posts: 4733	Donny, A fat guy in a Hawaiian shirt is not me! I get comments from people at every job on how they prefer someone who interacts with them. Some come in, sit down, bury their heads and bore everyone. I like to move about, have expression. I guess you'd have to see my act to know...off to 3 gigs now............... _________________________ Yamaha 920 / Yamaha DGX-670 / Maui 5 Go (2) / Senn e935 / Sony C80 / Tascam DP24sd / ATEM Mini Pro switcher (studio)
