This is very valuable advice. Get the absolute fundamentals right and other things will be easier.❤😊🎉

I'm proud to say I'm probably doing something right. The first lesson I watched after buying my drum set was holding the stick somewhat loosely. I'm totally nailing that because my right stick seems to fly across the room every so often lol. I'm getting better at holding on tho.

Yes, I'd personally say if you lose a drumstick from your grip every once in a while (within reason), that's a good sign that you're not gripping too tight!

Thank you for this important reminder.

Hi Mike. I’ve just joined our local drum corp to be able to play with other musicians. Do you have any videos on traditional grip? Thanks Dave

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi David, great! No, I really don't use traditional grip very much at all on the kit. I see our man Rob brown has some videos on it: kzbin.info/aero/PL2cx0KEfwN5FQSRGq-hdp-i29QVMjOpPG&feature=shared

What part to grip on the stick would you say is best for the balance? Thanks for the video!

Will my veins pop out my arms if I play long enough 😅

Ha yeah - when combined with a good physical training program 👌🏻
