    The second one is by far the easiest and quickest to learn. You maintain contact with the stick at all times and run much lower risk of dropping it. Mick Tucker, the drummer for Sweet was a master of that technique in the 70's and 80's.

      no i disagree my fingers are so incredibly uncoordinated and thats the reason im a drummer because playing piano or any string instrument moves all my fingers instead of one

    I have wanted to learn to spin a drumstick since I first saw it done. It's been on my bucket list FOREVER. I watched your video, and I think there's a chance I might actually be able to do it.

    Something that helped me immensely was spinning the opposite direction first.
    Just came much more natural.
    Once you get the rhythm down, the other direction was then easier.
    Also, minimizing the wrist movement helps once you get the hang of it, though it's still using some

    • @mstrlstr
      @mstrlstr  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! The trick is to not squeeze the stick between the fingers, they should only offer support for the stick. You can try with a pen first, hold the pen the same as a drumstick and rock the tip of the pen up and down, by only moving your index finger. Once you can do this, try getting small circles going with the pen, then try with the stick. Hope this helps!
