Been playing 40 years and just now adding traditional grip and absolutely love her presentation! And your sense of humor is adorable!

[@Onthecouch-r5r]

I was a side drummer for five years in the British army and that's the only grip we used

[@jarchual]

I have been playing drums for almost 45 years now, and I am still a student. Your approach to teaching and instruction is such a breath of fresh air. Your attitude and smile show how much you truly love what you do. Keep up the great work!!

[@rokerumaluku]

your sense of humor is adorable ^^

[@garyrynar3308]

Ms C, always awesome lesson and incredibile player.. 5 ***** great chops .

[@graemestraeffer1040]

I always played to break everything in front of me with sticks held backwards (I blame it on seeing the Flaming Lips in '93 that dude was the hardest hitting drummer I ever saw)- you are the first teacher to make learning proper grips and touch (and therefore true power) fun but still disciplined and precise. And as much as I still have the instinctive urge to bring the stick back over my head with traditional grip- I will now focus on keeping my shoulder locked😊😊😊

[@shawdoo]

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I wanted you to know that I make every student I have that wants to learn Trad grip watch this video. Thank's Emmanuelle!

[@timothyscanlan812]

Thanks for posting! You are an extremely knowledgeable teacher. And your sense of humor is great. Thanks so much for sharing with us mere mortals. Lol

[@albattor]

Best Drums teacher and best drummer ever 🥁🤩😍👏🙏 And best sense of humour 😁

[@victormatias1818]

C'est la première fois de ma vie que je comprends parfaitement la prise "tambour". (je l'ai toujours mal faite ) :-) Je connaissais déjà son talent de batteuse et de prof. de batterie, mais là, c'était parfait. Bravo ! C'est très important de comprendre ce mouvement "contrariant".

[@snorhyveln]

Very good instructions 👍

[@bryanharrison3889]

arguably one of the best drummers to ever pick up a set of drum sticks.

[@willyvb1]

This is hands down the best traditional grip video ever....period.

[@gerdagradnuk3867]

Ganz große Klasse, deine Videos zeugen von sehr großem Können und fachlicher Kompetenz. Du erklärst alles stets auf dem Punkt, ohne drum herum zu reden. Wer bei dir nichts lernt.....ist nicht mehr zu retten 🤠Alles liebe RÜDIGER... Bleib gesund und munter 😷🌹

[@b1j]

I am not a drummer, but I am just beginning to work with Superior Drummer 3. I am finding ideas for how to program grooves that will sound good in my songs. These videos are helping me. Thank you very much.

[@carguy3460]

I came for the lesson, I stayed for the humor! (and good lesson). Very good, funny too! :)

I love your vids

[@okamu1120]

大変参考になりました！！

[@krupadrum]

Hi, if you look at a number of the great jazz players from the bygone days, there was, naturally, slight differences in how the middle finger in particular was used. Some of those giants had a very loose grip. Always interesting to compare. How about you giving us a little GK.. Drum boogie perhaps? Traditional grip of course. Thank you 🥁👌

[@medicusdkfz]

Thank you for this fantastic lesson. Could you please make a video also about the matched grip?

[@dezsokosztolanyi384]

Nagyon jó tanár ! Rendkívüli dobos !!!

[@manuk4902]

Trop forte !!! Bravo 👏😍

[@michaelyakson9953]

Thanks for your answer -that help me a lot !!

[@gfer20]

I never used the index with that hand position before. At first was impossible but then, after practicing a little bit, started to work!

[@pedrums1989]

Amazing!

[@702ringo1]

I think you’ve got a great sense of humor!❤️

[@jimboyle4934]

Don't sell yourself short, you are amazing in every way🍻

[@NadeshdaDrum]

You're awesome!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us mortals. :)

[@magicaviation2990]

Amazing, I still struggle with the pointer finger only though. I am not quite understanding everything about the pointer finger movement with the stick.

[@timothymckenna1702]

Your a wonderful educator! Would love to see you perform live! Common to North Carolina!😊

[@dezsokosztolanyi384]

Gratulálok!!!

[@bartkuk1]

This is awesome! Thank you 🙏🏼 do you use thumb more or the index finger when playing singles and doubles? I'm always wondering

[@EmmanuelleCaplette]

I use both! :)

Bonjour Emmanuelle . Thanks a LOT for clearing something up here .. I,m new into those drummingfantastic great never ending world .. In my eyes your the "Champagne" in those magic world ! those Traditional grip i,m working around every day and things be better piece by piece and have seen incredible many rudiments around those grip ... You handle also these to perfection .. There is just thing you dont speak about -the angle at your wrist !! one great guy i following says NEWER get an angle at 90 degrees more around 45 and because, then you have lot more opportunities around your indexfinger as i understand it It,s looks like you dont have 90 degrees angle to ,but difficult to see .. Would be thankfull ,if you will say something about those angle And in the end : ) are you never travelling to Denmark for show us others Your skills and Your lovely personallity ? That woulld be a honour -You are My Hero and doing many of your Paradiddles -for be true - i,m additced now around paradiddles and my pad is lot more in use , than my drumset Lol -but funny and hard, at the same time to deal with . Thanks for your time IF -it is actually because of you i have spend many many money of drums and cymbals in a age of 52 years ONLY You have inspered me if some have and Anika niles to Best greetings Michael : )

[@leespicer9111]

Thank you! Uhm, merci!

[@josephmonaco4503]

Emmanuelle, Thank You. I have been trying to switch over to traditional grip for months now, and your little 4 minute video helped me mucho. Of course I'm having trouble with my index finger because it automatically wants to turn my left hand inwards toward the part of the snare where my belly would be of course. I imagine that is normal. How long will it take for me to begin getting some coordination and power if I practice an hour a day just on that part that you taught on this video? I've been playing Rock-N-Roll since 1976 with a matched grip and my left hand has never been equal to my right hand. If it was, I would be a very good drummer today. The reason that I'm switching over to traditional grip is because every jazz drummer from Buddy Rich " MY FAVORITE" down to even the rock drummers that switched to the traditional grip have become better drummers by 100%. There are no teachers in Florida because Florida is the Cesspool of the Universe. If I lived back in NYC I wouldn't have one problem finding a great jazz teacher like Henry Adler or Ted Mackenzie. Thatnk you for your help.

[@YanickDrums]

It takes some time to get used to playing traditional grip because both hands make a different movement. Spent some time on just the thumb, index and wrist movement then on playing both hands at the same time and then going over different rudiments and accent and ghost notes. This will help you gain alot of control.

[@rondeangelis7384]

Great lesdon as usual Emmanuelle. One thing I didn’t notice. When using index (trigger finger) for faster singles, do you adjust your hand so the stick doesn’t bounce sideways? That is, turn your hand slightly over or is the tip of stick moved out from center of head? 👏

[@dsmoove5961]

Cool video, #KeepGroovin🎼🥁🥁🥁🥁!!!

[@arye_amsalem]

What Vic firth sticks are you using in this presentation? Great tips!❤

[@DrummingMan1]

OK honey, I’ll try but I was raised on clothes grip! When I was a kid, my music teacher told me I should have joined a marching band! I didn’t! I said no I’m going to be a rockstar! He was right! Ha ha Ha keep the faith girl… You are the best! Cheers… Keith

[@funkadiddle]

Loviu Emmanuelle...

[@aidanpoulter9514]

Your a very charming and funny or perhaps I should say fun person. Please don't put your sense of humour down. Good video.

[@alanmuro9761]

Eres encantadora...

[@stuartmason3851]

She seems to really care about teaching,along with that cheeky sense of humour,ive been learning for a few months now thru practicing from her teachings,realky enjoying it,but still cant get the 'traditional grip' i need a more close up vid for this,shes fantastic tho

[@nealsausen4651]

FYI: “ THIS ONE” is Called the “ INDEX FINGER” Or “FIRST FINGER” (1st. Finger) Love your videos! “TRES BIEN”!!!! (baby)!

[@BrandyspesialN]

Please tell me what is the name of that big vic stic you use, love🥰

[@eclecticmn4838]

I recall some old photos of you long ago in drum corps shakos a third your height. So adorable. Where are those photos? Also, youtube journalist Kim Iversen was a drummer.

[@pachulosa7939]

Hi, what kind/tipe of sticks do you use?

[@batdan6032]

I have the same sticks and the same

[@gerardzelaya]

Can you please cover other grips like this?

[@darrylpaul4178]

Her love for drumming is obvious by her constant smiling

[@superatech]

I've been traditional since day one, but I don't understand the motion of the index finger. The index finger can move IN toward the palm and out towards the back of the hand.

[@kevinmcd112]

It's so funny. I started playing traditional grip and am probably just as good as I am with match grip.

[@sl4120]

Slt.la prise traditionnelle n est elle pas traumatisante dans la durée d utilisation et peut on s en servir pour jouer sur le kit batterie? Vos vidéos sont tt le temps super. Merci

[@aidanpoulter9514]

But as to the tip my wrists or arms don't bounce outward nearly half as much is that cos you may be extra flexible or cos my arms are stiff. I did the 8 of each but when I do the index finger thing I can't turn my hands out beyond my body at all as it seems you do in the video

[@GG-zl8ri]

I love you😘

[@fredericlinden]

Je veux une chemise comme celle-là !

[@user-bl9bh5yi7v]

Hello, Emmanuelle, What sticks do you use in this video?

[@jamiew1664]

Anyone know what practice pad this is?? it looks awesome

[@EmmanuelleCaplette]

It's GreenLogix by Prologix 😊

[@pekwalker]

Though you did not have it in this video, what metronome do you use?

[@Tri-tipTim]

What size sticks are you using?

[@anaran4811]

I wish I saw this lesson a couple of years ago. I tried Weckl's back to basics and it was just confusing.

[@josuebeteta1476]

🌹❣️

[@rainerkretschmer8234]

what is the traditional grip good for (except marching drums)?

[@FanPhys]

Traditional grip isn't good for anything really. It's a technique that was applicable for "side" drums, but now that marching drums are mounted directly in front of the player, traditional grip is pointless. After listening to many of the great drummers advise against learning it, I've decided to drop it for good. There will ALWAYS be players who argue that trad is better for some things than matched, but look at guys like Bill Stewart, Thomas Lang, Matt Garstka... it's hard to argue that matched falls short in any way.

[@charlievan4029]

Merci, Man Cap, you are tres magnifique! Sorry, that was my attempt at French. Hope to meet you somehow, someday.

[@Tri-tipTim]

Bondurant Emmanuelle, yes that's the index finger

[@rogerpr364]

Bonjours Emmanuelle, pourriez-vous expliqué comment on fait les roulement avec les doigts? avec les baguettes bien entendu,,,

[@rzkarlos]

I need this vídeo 8 years ago v:

[@maxthecat1235]

do you have a video for matched grip in 5 minutes

[@EmmanuelleCaplette]

I'll do something soon with matched grip

[@maxthecat1235]

@@EmmanuelleCaplette i think i will try traditional grip, i also would like to practice marching band drums so traditional grip is better will be helpful thanks for video, i will also try rock and roll

[@themurph2042]

Does traditional grip have to be in your left hand? Why not your right v

[@YanickDrums]

For most drummers if they are right handed the left hand plays traditional grip and left handed its the right hand that plays traditional grip. Hopes this helps

[@federerfanatic]

Are you on Drumeo as an instructor or via your website?

[@EmmanuelleCaplette]

I'm not on Drumeo, Just only website ;-)
