question: i've always wondered what the actual benefits are of the different grips. Seen some of the greatest drummers play standard grip only but others play with the reverse palm grip, is it just personal preference? or are there legit benefits for gripping with palm facing upwards? p.s. i know its more coming in jazz but i have seen jazz players who never switch grips, hence the question nice vids btw keep it up
@@h0fmeister420 thanks for the question and support i appreciate it. you’re totally right with the grips. personally, i’ve mostly played matched (both palms down) over the years, but have always had periods of time where i feel like i should be playing traditional grip (palm up). for me, i’m able to be more expressive and use each limb as its own element and brain per-say. the way your feet are both on pedals but there is different technique and placement in the mix of hat to kick. i think it applies to our hands as well. our dominant hand it’s on the hat or ride, but our other hand has the snare as a base, toms as secondary and cymbals after that. my cymbal had has a completely different role and stroke most of the time than my snare hand, which is why i think i’ve always circled back to trying traditional grip. now that im starting from scratch in my eyes, might as well just develop my traditional grip. if im playing back beat stuff with rhythmic linear fills im gonna play matched. for most other stuff im gonna be playing palm up, it allows me to be much more expressive and use each limb as its own component to the groove as a whole. i played tenors/quads/quints in drum line instead of snare and kind of wish i would have to develop the technique drill sgt style back then. but, i can now!! hope this helped. thanks again for being here.
@RoyalRawLife thx for the reply, and with you're explanation (the different grip helps to have separate brains for your arms) it just clicked someting in my brain, I've always had touble playing poly rhythms so im gonna try this on my practice pad, thx again for the quick reply 🤌👌
@@OldDog-NewTricks-sn1is these are actually Vic Firth Corpsmaster Signature Snare Sticks - Ralph Hardimon - i’ve had since middle school drum line! lol i played quads but got these back then. should help when i switch to sticks for set. i use the jojo mayer vic firth model. cheers 🤙🏽
@@RoyalRawLife Yep, when I started over, I did my practice pad worl with an old pair of Promark 2B's. Same rationale 😉Enjoy your 2nd life behind the kit 👍
@@maximdemko totally. i don’t have one atm and there was no computer near by to play one online. thanks for pointing it out though. i could absolutely benefit from in it the way you mention.

@ awesome stuff. way to think. guess there’s a reason we’re back in the saddle. or, the throne in our case hah
Why don't you use a metronome? it sounds a bit crumpled now. You have to build up your muscle memory in an ascending manner🙌
