I agree, the looser grip on the stick avoids choking the cymbal and allows it to ring in a more musical way.

Vinny has blown me away so many times and all him playing so differently in many times I've heard him and seen him at a clinic where he was talking and praising God so much but it was totally different and not what I thought it would be and he had that white set that he had just used on his solo album with karizm?? I can't spell but it was his first clinic that he had done in like 9;or 10 years he said i believe and I was in the first row but it was hard to see him and the stage was high and i didn't like that snare he was using still and he was humming songs like from joni Mitchell's early album and sting stuff but it was nothing like the clinics I here on here???? Make sense and it was alot of God stuff like i said and I pray and try to have faith but easier said than done!!! But it was a Vinny clinic but nowhere near these wich is and was fine !! I love alot of music and drumms but Vinnie IS a freak of Nature period like tony was and Z Buddy speed but there is a guy named Barry bangem out i don't know if I spelled it correctly but Hi Barry if you ever se this its your old friend chry and remember i met you at triloc gurtru,s band and this gifted genius he is a computer guy but he made DVD,s and yes i gave some out snd had to bug Dave Weckl back then ,,20 yrs ago and Barry can play any thing that buddy Rich can play no shit i we all agreed ,my friend,d and i ,finai weckl did take the video i had to beg him but no lie all songs and all his soly but i love him and i love Vinny to death period Barry deserves a break on doing something ,!¡! God do your will for him

The art of learning to make the adjustments during the song is all the greats have. Sadly it’s a lost art because every drummer is forced to use a click track even on gigs that don’t require tracks and showbiz. They aren’t given the chance to develop their inner clock. Letting the machines babysit your time takes all the fun out of it. There’s no challenge.

So, when he says "I use the hand, not the wrist (to raise the stick)" at around 2:40, what does he really mean? I would argue, that to raise the sticke you either have to move the wrist, the elbow or the shoulder. Honestly confused.
@xenprovence61267 ай бұрын
Agreed. It’s best to temper what Tony says here with what he actually does in the video. That being said, after many years of pursuing a grip using mostly the thumb, first, and second fingers, I am beginning to see his point about gripping the stick with the last two fingers. If I may offer this observation… if you hold the sticks in an overhand matched position, explore striking a surface (holding the stick somewhat loosely) with minimal tension in your forearm, elbow, and shoulders. I try to make this the fundamental starting point these days with my grip, and it seems to be working. Also, would like to suggest this exercise… Get the application TEMPO for iPhone. Set the accelerando function to “bars” and begin with one strike to 1/4 note at 40bpm. Follow the ever increasing tempo with alternating strokes and watch how your grip changes to accommodate faster and faster tempo. By the time you get up to 200 BPM, you may notice that you have to hang on for dear life. This exercise clearly shows that any grip is never Constant.

Tony is certainly one of the greatest drummers ever, but it's best to ignore what he says about lifting his stick "with the hand, not the wrist." If the hand moves, the center of that motion is at the wrist. Also, if the hand moves, the muscles of the forearm contract to make that happen. Many of the best musicians aren't the best teachers.
