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?

I have the same problem and can’t figure it out

Hello. First of all, traditional grip can be really tricky and I don't push it on my students unless they really want to learn it. If you haven't checked them out already, I have a video on traditional grip exercises that hopefully can help. I also have another video on troubleshooting technique that can be preventing freedom of stick bounce and movement. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGrKaKGsaLV2qMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqbTp52lYrasmdUsi=Oco9-7348TLJICFi
