Well i've never been told an [B]exact[B] inch but it is good to let your sticks rebound abit instead on holding them to the pad after a stroke. Just try and relax and let your sticks rebound a bit above the pad
I'm having trouble keeping my sticks an inch from my practice pad. I read and have been told that this is essential, is this true? Any advice is welcomed because I'm having trouble with this and I'm starting to get frustrated. I tend to want to beat the shiza out of my practice pad when I'm playing instead of relaxing and I was reading a lot last night on how important it is to practice with your sticks and inch from the surface.........

the reason for this is for you to learn how to play with better control and dynamics. be patient it will pay off.
A small tip, if you find ourself "Wanting to beat the shiza out of your practice pad instead of relaxing" Just stop for a minute and take some deep breaths. When you start again REALLY concentrate on staying relaxed and not letting yourself get tense.
