    Rob: I've been drumming professionally since before your birth. 64 years old, and your vid just helped me with a trad grip problem I've had my entire life. I'm not joking, man--I can now play rim shot backbeats with traditional grip. I've studied with Marv Dahlgren and Elliott Fine, and never heard about "that area of the thumb where the stick fits perfectly. It took me only minutes to correct! Bless your groovy little heart, Rob. Thanks!

One day I'll show you old geezers how it's done. After all, I'm younger, therefore faster, sharper and only 62 years old. : - )

      @@drummersinger5324 Using a regular grip is way better for the right hand. Most jazz drummers use the French grip (sideways match grip) for it. It's really awkward using trad grip to hit a cymbal really fast.
      Why don't we use traditional grip on both hands?: Because that is awkward and inefficient.
      Why don't we use a sideways matched grip for the snare drum?: Because that is awkward and inefficient.
      Some people like traditional grip better. I'm not arguing against match grip. I use it. I'm just saying that your argument is, for the most part, pointless.

It's also slower than then a regular grip. So anyone with a brain has to be stupid to play a drum set that way.

    Yo Rob, I've been playing percussions for over 35 years and I have never seen more detailed intricate video on traditional grip. About that little notch in your thumb I always knew it was there I just never paid attention to it like I do now after watching your video. Keep up the fantastic teachings you are phenomenal at what you do. The more detailed the teaching the better the outcome for the student and the teacher. Take all the time it takes and it'll wake the man it makes. My hat's off to you buddy. Peace

    @ricklang_drummer 6 років тому +21

    Great video. I might be missing something but during exercise #1 (at 14.30 ca) - To what extent do you:
    1) Consider wrist movement to be necessary?
    2) Think continous contact between stick and ring finger is needed? Only support, or active participation? ...and
    3) Advocate movement of the thumb? Is it to be fairly stiff in favor of "cradle development" or should it be engaged to a certain extent?

    This is without a doubt the best tutorial on UA-cam. Ridiculously well articulated, not a moment of the 25 minutes is wasted on superfluous talk - all business, with clear instruction about the fundamentals and mechanics of the traditional grip.
    I’m a beginner in terms of having zero training, and I believe that with this video alone, and practice, I’ll be able to play with a traditional grip adequately.
    I can’t emphasize enough how incredibly helpful the detailed breakdown of what Iwould imagine is every aspect of the traditional grip. There are plenty of videos out there, but they all seem to emphasize advanced techniques (because there is virtually no explanation that I could actually learn from).
    Great job, thanks so much for posting!

      Rob Brown I’m going to go further. Lots of the videos I see on UA-cam, basically, make me want to quit. Literally. I see guys who are awesome drummers and their tutorials lack, as you say, the in depth analysis of how to actually do it. And so I’m flailing around trying to figure out what’s going on, sticks flying everywhere, and after 5 minutes I go do something else.
      I may never become a great, or even good drummer, but at least I’ll have the will to give it a shot. I know because my wife has snapped at me twice for practicing and it’s only been a few days.
      Thanks again, dead horse kicked.
