    I’ve been drumming for about 6 years and I’ve played matched grip the whole time. I’ve decided that I want to try traditional and maybe even switch over because I’m mostly playing jazz these days. I think I have my fingers in the right place but I’m having trouble getting any rebound, and I can’t play double strokes easily or fluidly. Is this down to just practising more? Or is there maybe something wrong with my actual grip?
