I have bumped the toggle a few times while doing that and decided to adjust my technique - I now use my thumb as a guide along the edge of the neck and my right wrist and arm make a high arch.
The switch is "keyed" in the cavity (mounted to a plate) so it only fits in one direction. It may be possible to remove the toggle and plate and flip things around, but I don't recommend it.
Have you got G.A.S. for another EBMM???

Constantly, as I appear to swing my arm around whilst playing in a most un-Petrucci like way.Originally Posted by CharlieMac
I only use non-piezo JPs now for this reason.

Constantly... drives me crazy. I don't hit it when practicing but hit it all the time playing live.
I am thinking about having a tech remove the toggle and cap it off
