Drum Tutorial // Happy Day

That kl just help me to be a lot more tite when playing this song. Is it poss to do Your Name High because i allways got lost playing it. Thanks God Bless Chris Beckett

Hi Chris, I hold my left stick like that because i like the feel of the weight at the end of the stick when i play the snare drum on a heavy back-beat. I think playing with the 'but' end of the stick also gives a slightly thicker and heavier sound but i admit the difference in sound is negligible. When playing with a lighter touch i will almost always play with the tip of the stick. I know quite a few drummers who play with their left stick 'the wrong way round' but also quite a lot who don't, its just personal preference! I think it partly comes from drummers who play traditional and match grip as if you quickly swap between the two grips with your left hand the stick ends up being the opposite way round if that makes sense! I hope that answers your query! All the best, Ben

sooooooooooo helpful! only just found these! ive been living in darkness!! ive said so many times it would be easier if i could just watch the drummer! and now i can! but although the filming is quite funky and arty id rather not have so much zooming in so that i can see what he's doing with all the drums. :D thanx worship central!
