The Traditional Grip Revisited

Here is an updated Traditional Grip video. The first one I did was around 11 years ago and was called Mastering the Traditional Grip You can see that here https://youtu.be/A6zd5eGtw1M In this updated version, I offer a few additional thoughts based on the hundreds of comments and correspondences I have received over the years. I also show a top view and side view of my hands and give you some advice on how to begin playing the traditional grip. The pad is a 1970's Quiet Tone pad. These are made and sold by Sabian. The sticks are 72 Gram Persimmon Reverse Tip Sticks that I make.
