As a bass drummer myself (I know this video is about grip not technique) but the way you hold the mallet should feel like how it would if your hand just hangs at your side. Your arm from elbow to the mallet head should be a semi straight line for increased sound quality in your strokes. I just wanted to say this because this video shows that you should hold the mallet pointing upwards
I’m not very good at percussion but i want to try out for bass drum next year for my schools marching band!! Right now i play synth, i will let u guys know if i make it!
@@amanthatlikesfromsoftware I just remembered this comment 😥I didnt unfrounately but i have a guaranteed spot next year! so im just waiting(not very patiently). although it's gonna be my senior** year, i think i've improved a lot and im gonna try to make snare instead of bass. Will update u again lmao

I plan on doing bass for my senior year of marching band, and I’ve never played drums, but I want to learn 😃
BerrasaurusRex how did that go? I plan to try out for my sophomore year, and I’ve never played drums either.
So this should be your senior year so did you end up doing it?

i think that you guys should add more bass things to drumline chops
