How To IMPROVE Your Traditional Grip!

Many years ago as a boy, I started with traditional grip. As a young adult, I had a teacher who convinced me that there's no logical reason to have a different grip on each hand and I agreed with that. Fast forward about 40 years later I'm learning traditional again. There IS a reason for a different grip on each hand... Each hand is different! My left hand can do things better in traditional than matched. Not everything yet, but it's getting there. The way the kit is layed out, it's much easier for the left hand to get around more efficiently. Also, the left hand muscles have had a lifetime of different training. Bottom line... the left hand is different and for some of us prefers a different grip.

Out of all the videos I've seen on traditional grip, yours is the most clearly defined an explanatory. I especially liked your part about implementing the left hand technique in your daily life. When I was in school studying the double bass, my bass teacher told me almost the very same thing to do with the bow, he said carry it around with you all day long in your house and just practice the different contact points. If you are a teacher, your students are very fortunate to have you.

This is definitely a worthwhile video

I'm a 69 year old drummer with what I've always felt were "hands of stone" No Roberto Duran comparison intended ! I was taught this grip but could never master it. Thanks for breaking this down and making it learnable for me !
