I am a pretty tall kid and i have pretty long arms. But i recently noticed that when ever i play now with a harness its like the drums are too close to my body. the only way i can play is i pull my arms back until i look like a retarded chicken and when i do that its uncomfortable to play and i hit my hands when doin crossovers and sweeps and stuff . is there a possible way of adjusting the tenors away from the body??

Get the j hooks parallel to each other and then adjust the things on the bar to accommodate the j hooks, other than that, I don't know.

The sad this it is that way. are there any longer j hooks some where??

I've never heard of the drums being to close, I've heard of them being to far, but I've never heard of them being to close. Try getting a mallet, if your having problems with them to close, stay away from sticks, get a short mallet. You probably also have small block tenors, Those are just that, really small. They are a complete pain to get around.

Other then that, do what you have to do, take some time and practice, you should get used to it. And when you do get some big blocks (which I'm assuming you don't have) I would think the long arms would help you move the opposite hand to drums 3 and 4.

Okies thank you very much i will try this today at school

You might want to check where you're hitting the drums. If your zones are off, then it can make you feel and look akward. If you're playing in the right zones and they're still too close, start adjusting your carrier and see if you get some results. They could just be too high on you.
