I'm a guitar player who knows only a little about the technical side of drumming. But I know an excellent teacher when I see one and this guy seems like an incredible teacher. Good lesson.
These videos really help me a lot as a beginning drummer. Thank you Wally Schnalle!
This actually taught me how to play traditional.
Wally is the MAN. I had the priveledge of taking lessons from Wally and he rounds you off like no other teacher. Very patient and just the coolest cat around.
great video, sir. helped out a lot with my grip
The pad of the thumb is connected to the first knuckle of the index finger forming a "T".This is the secondary fulcrum. The middle finger is relaxed on the stick, index and ring finger should be parallel. The stick is resting on the ring finger between the cuticle and first knuckle. the picky should be relaxed in the same curvature as the ring finger. And lastly make sure the thumb is in a straight line with the forearm pointing at the elbow. Thats the grip. Power will come with exercises.

A good cheap drum set might run you $400. Look for deals at your local music store or a used kit. You'll have to add cymbals as you go.
Think about why you're using the grip. I have seen people use this grip in their right hand but they play completely left handed with the drumset reversed. It works well in that case as all the angles are right for the grip. Remember the angle of the drum. While you can use this grip on a flat surface, you'll get best results when the stick is landing parallel to the playing surface. My suggestion is to not give up on your left hand, find a good teacher that plays in this style.

Traditional (marching band or jazz) grip isn't something you are likely to figure out without instruction. It took me about two weeks to get used to the left hand. Explaining this is detail is a real benefit to beginning drummers. You can easily learn the other methods and decide when to use which.
Drums don't produce a specific note. So keys and the specific notes of the melody line don't matter much to drummers. If they did you would be playing xylophone :)
great lesson thanks
Great video Wally. =)
The only reason I'm trying to learn traditional grip is because I think it looks badass.
Good explanation!
Good job!
yup, there are so many amazing drummers that use match. the only reason i ever use traditional is because i'm required to for marching band.
Good lesson, one correction, it's a drum stick bead not the "tip"
Great video, thanks!
awesome video
@BennyVengeance888 When I first started using Traditional I had the same problem. Just keep practicing with your left hand, and you will eventually be able to build the same speed as your left hand matched grip.
with the traditional grip, when your left hand makes a stroke, do the supporting fingers let go of the stick when rebound occurs? Kind of like how you showed in the beginning with your hand open making single strokes.
I lol'd at the title.
hey - do you mean it slides out from the fulcrum to where the butt of the stick is sliding down to the thumb/index finger or what do do you mean?
I have a question :
i tried with my left hand but i fail every time i play.
when i tried with my right hand it works and it works very vell too.
withe right hand i can strike the drum fast and good.
the question is:
is it okay to use right hand? cuz i have seen that all drumers use left. plx answare!
probably a really dumb question but how much does a good cheap drum usually cost???
I feel somewhat comfortable with trad grip however when I use skinnier sticks I have a hard time keeping it from sliding around in my fulcrum. He says to hold it delicately but It wants to slide out if I do. It feels uncomfortable if I grip it tight (not choked though, just tight).
Any help/advice? I've watched several videos on trad and I have the finger positions down and the motions.
You should give it a couple of weeks of serious practice. As in most things, if you already play great even though your technique isn't perfect, it hardly matters. Few of the greats had perfect technique. But if you discipline yourself to learn traditional then it might become a strong part of your skill set as a drummer.
friggin hard, i hav like no power when im hitting the snare when im doing traditional, any tips?
is it weird that my natural impulse when doing traditional grip is to grip it from underneath with my right hand? Im right handed and i find it quite awkward to hold it that way with my left hand, i lack power and control with it, so i use my right hand with it.. just wondering if im the only who has this problem?
When I play with traditional grip, I can't really get the chop.
nice title!
is it normal our middle finger hurts while doing it???
lol, not related but at 00:36 he says 'whip' like stewie griffin in family guy XD awesome
@digitaldown actually... it's all a preference... other's might think that the matched grip is hard to play with :)
Gah! I'm gonna intensely learn how to play like Buddy Rich :D
@XXXxKablexXXX Not if that feels comfortable for you. When I drum, I regularly switch both hands between matched grip and trad grip
@DElasee
including this one
using white hockey tape is the best
gibson00000000000000.. The fulcrum in the traditional grip is the webbing or your hand between the thumb and index finger just stick your hand out like your going to shake someones hand and stick it in the webbing. Relax the finger around the stick. Life the elbow about 1'' from the head firm the grip with no gabs in the fingers thats really important.
how far from the butt of the stick should the back of your hand be?
@jcs2000ful wuts ur problom?
i want that hat
@mojoganjamaster420
sorry, i'm with gamedillon12 on this. being able to play one instrument is no guarantee of having the skills to play drums. the skills on, say, guitar do not transfer into a set of skills relevant to playing drums. skills for viola do transfer to violin and vice versa; the skill sets for organ and piano are slightly different, but contain sufficient similarity for transfer. likewise oboe and clarinet. 'any other instrument' to drums is not a likely transfer.
@witchman1 because they are generated, randomly. do you really think there are people in google offices going, "hey steve, you think we should feature this? huh? what? i thought you ordered the fucking pizza..........."
I LIKE TO GRIP MY STICK
wow this is so what she said
Damn. I can't work a matched grip. I broke my left wrist on two separate occasions within three months :( Drummers, never break your wrist...
@digitaldown whatever u say bud im sure the reason all the best drummers know how to use traditional grip is because it has "zero advantages"
@kickinitonthetube I agree to very much so to disagree with you! i fucking love those caps!!!!
ya for me too, but u get used to it.
hopefully.
1 inch stroke.
that's what she said
i dont get it >:|
HAHA *e-high five*
I'm sorry for being sooo unoriginal but my mind went to the gutter when I read the title.
This grip is a bit painful for me ://
Why did my drumstick jizz?
@resellworld haha
Wef is this a feature for? For shit sakes.
OMG lol How to grip my stick
grip it with both hands.... mm...
@mojoganjamaster420 That is a complete load of shit. I'm in a band with 3 of my close friends, all of them can play there instruments very well and have at least 4 years of experience each, including me. However, there has been several occasions where my band mates play on my drum set and they have had major problems just getting a basic beat down. I can say that playing the guitar requires no skill and anyone can do it, but that doesn't make it right, now does it?
@michaelm815
i wish i could give you 50 thumbs-ups for that.
it's pissing me off as well...
why don't you teach my girlfreind to grip my stick like this.
thats what she said... im sorry i couldnt help it... xD
Haha is it just me or does the title sounds like a porn movie?
how to hahahha grip your stick hahahha!
lmao
Hahahahaha. "How To Grip Your Stick" LULZZZ
That's not how I grip my stick
And randoms pricks on RUclips don't decide who is and isn't a musician, your point?
This looks like a bear.
Это не барабанщик а болтун.
