    Hello Sir\ Mam, I Visited your RUclips channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO is lacking, though your content is fantastic. Do you know why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 38/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I can help you improve it 80-90% if you'd like. I think your RUclips channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.

    How do you manage going back to 5a's on the kit after using these? Im practicing with marching sticks currently which are making 5as feel like tooth picks

    • @freddycharles
      @freddycharles 5 месяцев назад

      That's the whole point of practicing with the heavy sticks. I move easily back to 5a's because the heavy sticks train certain muscles and the thinner sticks such as 5a's train other muscles. So using them both, you cover the whole spectrum of all the muscles in the hand and fingers.

    Whats your opinion on aluminium/brass sticks for added weight, especially for people who are starting with trad grip?

    • @freddycharles
      @freddycharles 5 месяцев назад

      Absolutely love metal sticks. If you could get your hands on a pair of power wrist builders, they come in all different weights. They're amazing for building up traditional grip.

  • @goob5568
    @goob5568 5 месяцев назад

    When practising rudiments, do you practice the freestroke on every accent that allows it? I see some people playing freestrokes for every stroke sometimes in developing chops etc

    • @freddycharles
      @freddycharles 5 месяцев назад

      The freestroke should be happening automatically. The exaggerated stuff you may be seeing is probably push pull.

    My first teacher (in 1974) taught with matched grip. Then I moved in 1977 and found my next teacher who taught traditional grip. So I went from playing matched grip for 3 years to all of a sudden having to re-learn with traditional grip. I've never looked back. I can play both grips equally well. I see no problem teaching anyone today to play with traditional grip. Play both. Be open minded to both, it's music, it's art. Look at Todd Sucherman, Vinnie, Weckl, Steve Smith, Virgil. All killing it with both grips. I will say one thing though...if you're talking about playing death metal, maybe traditional grip may not serve you well playing blast beats. I don't know, I've never seen anyone playing blast beats using traditional grip - who knows, anything is possible. But there's a lot more music out there other than death metal. All the best in your journey!!
