Due to the immobility of the overhead microphones, the arm holding the spring drum might tire during performance, and especially if performed several times per day. Therefore, it is advised to consider a playing position that is not too high (as mentioned below) and to switch the holding hand when possible. The switching is for example very convenient in the long pp shakes. When hitting the drum with fingers or knuckles, be careful not to hit too hard and - like happened to me - break some bones, especially when performing the piece several times a day.
As mentioned above, it is very important not to mount the metal plate too high, to optimize your playing comfort. Therefore, avoid taking normal tables, which are just a bit too high. I always take a Kolberg percussion table of about 70cm playing height. I also place a black folded cloth between the table and the metal plate so the plate is properly dampened and stays in place.
