Each area/group has their own interpretation of traditional grip; there are some good general tips for all trad grips tho, like trying to keep your back two fingers on the stick for legato strokes, a big "pizza slice" angle, a slight left hand angle since the stick lays on top of the hand vs under on the right hand, and leading with the wrist. There may have either been some general applicable tips that you weren't applying, some group-specific stuff, or they were just wrong. Trad is a whole can of worms for sure!
Honestly, it's different from how I learned it:having your first finger on top of your middle, and you're ring stacked on your pinky while the stick is between the center bones of your finger
Thank you for this I tried holding drum sticks like that and I didn’t know how to do it correctly but thank you to you for explaining the traditional grip.🙏😀
Hey bro, I absolutely love your videos and you're how I learned to play traditional bc no one else would teach me lmao. I can't find the link to your ebook in the description, could you link it in a reply? Thanks!
I'm a Scottish pipe band snare drummer, and we use traditional grip, but if I was playing like this I would definitely be scolded for having my thumb crossing over the stick too much- also we don't use our index finger for control. It's a different style of snare drumming obviously obviously but I think it's interesting how even though it's technically the same grip we use it so differently
What benefits does trad grip have for a normal drumset? Curious because I figured it was used for the slant during marching. Guitar player here, so please excuse my ignorance
I’m terrible with traditional grip. I watched a RU-vid video w/ Vinny Colaiuta playing sometime in the 90’s. Vinny is crashing on this huge China cymbal to left of his hihat w/ his traditional grip hand !!!!!! My hands hurt just watching Vinny do that. Crashing on cymbals and hitting my rack tom/floor tom feel extremely awkward for me and my hands hurt terribly after. Mad respect ✊ to you drummers who use it and sound amazing . Watching how fluid and fast Buddy Rich could go around the kit with traditional grip still leaves me in total awe. I definitely think traditional grip has its place when playing very light patterns on the snare and I also bust out the traditional grip when I play Levon Helm songs from The Band, especially cripple creek. Traditional grip is the only was I can nail those little drags he does so well. That swampy funky half time feel sounds great when you play it correctly
If you want to have your relationship with God to be long lasting, have influence in your life to be Christ Like, do not have things to hinder your relationship with God. Read the Bible and pray, when u was a young boy, I would watch porn and do bad things, but as I grew in my relationship with God(reading the Bible and praying) He delivered me and not only did I do these things I prayed that I would stopped watching porn many times even before I would read the Bible and pray. God is a deliverer!!!
@@sdjmalikgreat video. I’m having problem achieving that pop corn snare sound. I currently have the pearl championship model. Can you help me with this. Is it my heads? Or is there something I can add additionally to produce that crisp sound?
You exert more energy when trying to play faster with higher stick heights which will cause you to burn out way faster than necessary. It takes practice and effort to play with lower stick heights
Small tip: to find the balance point for the stick, split the stick into thirds, and the perfect balance point should be a third out from the butt of the stick
