It's what I've heard referred to (and what I've been taught myself) as a "Cookie Cutter" grip. The person who first told me about it taught at MCM and also at an independent open group that I was in, and its basically allowing the hand to stay tension-free by still maintaining a grip on the stick/mallet but allowing the fingers to open to certain angles that facilitate different heights (3", 6", 9", 12", 15"). That's how he's getting a bit more 'outward' motion with his wrist turns, which gives just a tad more velocity behind the mallet for rebound without having to get so much arm motion involved. I was taught it for quads, but similar principles apply to bass since it's also matched grip seeking the same tone from hand to hand.
Smoking!! Lord. Thank y'all for your efforts and commitment -HB
thank you for blessing us with all the bass content
Nice video 🤩

Well Cadets are gone so i guess that visual was up for grabs.
I’d wager it’s less of a steal and more of a tribute.
Tons of bass lines (including mine) did it as a tribute
Gottla love the "On the waterfront Hannum tribute"
Interesting to see #2 letting his fingers release off the stick way more than anyone else.
I don't think he's actually releasing his fingers. I think he's just getting them more involved in the stroke instead of just wrist+arm.

They play a lot of notes, but the writing has too few grooves & it's not musical.
skill issue
grooves doesnt mean musical
writing is abstract... needs phrasing to be musical
@@user-vv7bo3kc9p never heard of abstract bass drum writing lol
By virtue of them playing, it's musical, no?
