At least you know what you're talking about...As a 73 year old drummer,I studied with Jim Chapin and Ed Shaughnessy....I play everything from rock to big band, ethnic music..I'm tired of the dozens of videos that are wasting my time...I direct my students to your style of explanation and you are informative.Good work, young lady.
I've committed to learning traditional grip for my drum set playing. I'm two weeks into doing stick control using traditional grip. I'm loving drums all over again. It's like playing a different instrument
Ok I've been drumming for a few years now and getting interested in playing jazz so exploring this grip. I've been trying for weeks to get this right and could not do it. Watching this video, I dropped my stick, picked it up in my right hand, and figured I would try it in that hand. I did it with no issues at all to the point where the speed and control I was generating was shocking. I spent the past 20 minutes setting up my kit left handed, and ....... apparently I'm a left handed drummer that has a fairly decent traditional grip now 😂
The thing is, if you are right handed and never played ‘traditional’ of course the right hand will seem easier at first. But traditional is with the left hand traditionally. 😊. You would never see a marching snare line with one person using it with right hand. It would be totally backwards. In other words it doesn’t matter what hand you are, traditional is supposed to be with the left hand. I know there are a few drummers that play backwards but I’ve been teaching drumlines since 1969 and we don’t even talk about if they are left handed or not. When you are first working on ‘traditional’ it will be awkward but with practice like I show in the video, it will come. If you aren’t normally left handed, you now will have to start all your fills around the kit with your left hand which should feel awkward to you if you’ve been playing them right handed.
@@dtdrummerlady This makes sense. I'm actually ambidextrous. A similar thing happened when I was a kid and played golf. I only had right handed clubs but got left handed and it was much better. I write left handed, throw a ball and bat right handed and can actually interchange
I'm still working on getting my pointer finger to go with the action of the stick vertically, at the moment my pointer finger is making the stick go sideways, I think I have crazy minded fingers, especially on my left hand!!?? Still continuing on and hoping that my pointer finger will let me progress that little bit further, thanks for the brilliant videos! You're amazing 👌
Been playing for 58 years and I still do not know what the reason or advantage is for playing traditional grip... I was pushed hard as a young kid while taking lessons to play traditional grip.. But as soon as the lessons ended, so did the traditional grip.
Traditional grip is only used on the left hand. Think about a marching drum hanging on a sling. The drummers back then during the Rev war adapted the left hand traditional. If there was someone hanging their drum backwards as they marched it wouldn’t be uniform. All Drum Corps use traditional grip (left hand)😊
This is probably true for the typical drummer & in various contexts… yet Buddy Rich played things on a kit most EXCELLENT drummers admire & aspire to play (of course with traditional grip). I switched to matched grip as a kid in the 70’s bc that was cool then. We were breaking the rules lol. But get back to me later with more technique comments, after posting a video showing the same power speed & control as Buddy, & we will all be happy to like & subscribe.
Go tell Todd Sucherman, Vinnie Colaiutta, Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Steve Smith, Omar Hakim, Neil Peart, and many, many other elite drumset players that their playing is limited by trad grip.

Thank you! I try to explain things so they are understandable for the pose who are having problems learning drumming methods.
This is exactly what I needed to see a long time ago when I was younger and didn’t get the technique. Love u grandma! 🇵🇾❤️
Hope it will help

Go for it!
This is one of the best traditional grip explanations I've seen in a long time. 🥁👌
It was designed for marching drummers. Period. End of your nonsense pulease.
Ma'am thank you so much for this tutorial. It is exactly what I have been looking for!!
I watched many vids about and is only blah blah blah, Your are enfatic, direct clear and your video is very well explained, thanks for your knowledge!
Thanks so much! Glad it helped you.
Great explanation!!! I am also a traditional grip player!!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

My grandson plays drums, guitar, writes and piano (😊) right handed but tennis and ball left handed.
Great explanation -easy to follow but must practice…thanks😊
Thank you. Match play here, but you have presented a clear path. Thank you again.
I love the way you break down the techniques! Thank you. I can practice this more easily now.
Glad to help 😊

@@dtdrummerlady Thank you, Ma'am!
Respect
I love you
When are you trad lovers going to get real and admit the grip is a very limited on drum set grip?

@@titomartinez5581 I already did. Some admitted they wished they hadn't started that way when kids.
