Jim Kirkpatrick the Pipe drummer uses thumb and fingers,he shows you how he does it,but he does,nt explain how he does it,you have explained what I've been trying to do for years,thank you so much
Jeremy I really appreciate that. I'm surprised but thankful nonetheless. :) I'm glad you have found my videos helpful. That is the goal, and I agree, traditional grip is rather elusive. :)
Excellent! Many thank you's for demystifying traditional grip mechanics. Many people tell or show you how o hold the stick but don't break down the mechanics. I still struggle with it and much prefer matched grip. But even that has taken a lot more work than I thought to feel comfortable and competent. And with so many other things to work on to be a good drum kit player, my traditional grip doesn't get the time and attention it needs.
@@ChuckBarchuk Of course! I think the younger drummers will find this especially helpful as you also cover how to get out those full strokes from the grip.
That's why I have so many traditional grip videos. As you can tell I've uploaded a ton of videos but the ones that get the most views and comments are all on traditional grip. :)
Yes, i was doing it alright then (kind of), thank you very much, this video is what i needed to clarify some doubts and questions i had about the grip, now i just need to keep practicing and then i will start with rudiments, thank you very much, seriously man, i've watched alot of videos on youtube and reading alot of webs over the internet but i couldn't find what i needed in regard of the grip until i found your channel. you're a terrific teacher if someday you come to Guatemala i'll be more than glad to invite you a beer :)
When squeezing the stick at the base of my thumb & controlling with my thumb I’m fine, but when I try to touch my fingers on top the stick it stops all my movement & back to wrist only (?). Also, the stick creeps towards the butt end in no time. I don’t think I’ll ever get it. 😣
I left you a reply to your other question. I would encourage focusing on your wrist. And if the stick is slipping check to make sure the angle of the stick to the head is parallel. Hope that makes sense.

Indeed he does. Jim is fantastic.
I've watched a lot of videos on the elusive traditional grip. Yours are by far the most informative and effective. Thanks for sharing!

Great demonstration. I love the thumb technique for speed and feel-but I will need the other fingers to play rudiments solos like Wilcoxin.
Great explanation ! Thanks so much !
Really useful video, it covers a lot of what other videos on RUclips don't seem to cover. Thanks.
Absolutely Will. Thanks for stopping by. Glad I could help. Take care.
Very, very helpful, Chuck. Have recommended your tuition to the UK's Rhythm magazine.
Thank you Scott. I very much appreciate it my friend. Be blessed.
Absolutely fantastic lesson. Cheers.

This is the best video I've ever seen on traditional! I'm sharing it with the rest of my drumline so that hopefully we can transition to it next year.
Jonathan I really appreciate the comment. I'm glad it's helpful to you and good luck with using it in your drumline.

@@ChuckBarchuk Yep! I'm planning on watching your other ones because they must be as informative as this one!
Brilliantly explained boss. Love you
Thanks! :)
