The Greatest Stick Control Exercise for the American Grip

Bruce explains very definitively and breaks down the position of the American Grip! As well as a finely tuned Stick Control Exercise.

Unbelievable, thanks Bruce! The webbing of the thumb is a great orientation point.

I'm a big fan of your teachings, heard about you through an interview (Give The Drummer Some) with Steve Smith years ago. I bought your video and have benefitted greatly. I studied the Chapin video for years too and I understand you studied a bit with him too. If I'm understanding Chapin correctly he shifts his fulcrum to his rear fingers (kind of Tony Williams style) based on dynamics while performing the Moeller technique?

[@AndreasHalvardsson]

That finger control is amazing, it looks so easy. Are you using more motion with the right arm/hand?

[@marcogeraci2555]

The American Grip has always felt the most natural to me.
