I've been learning frame drum for a couple weeks now. How much discomfort is normal? The dum sound in particular is quite uncomfortable on the joints in my thumb (though other sounds also feel hard on my wrist).
I'm not really suffering aches or anything, but I do notice a little stiffness in my thumb long after I put the drum down.
I've been practicing for about 20-40mins daily and doing my best to sit upright and practice with relaxed joints.
