hey, just wondering what kind of methods you guys use for holding your sticks.
I'm a girl. I hold my sticks matched grip. It works just fine for me.
between fulcrum and thumb
Depends a lot on what im playing. For rock metal etc i tend to use matched grip but the exact grip i use varies depending what sound i need off of my cymbals. When playing jazz its traditional grip all the way. I like how much easier it is to keep the snare quiet.
i can only do rudiments with the trad grip but i prefer the power of a matched grip. i used to play with my arms for power but within the last two years started using my wrists if that has anything to do with anything...
Matched grip all the way!

In most cases I'll hold my right hand matched, and my left hand slightly tilted up, thumb up that is; french timpani method I believe its called.

sometimes i find myself (with my right hand) using only my thumg pointer and middle finger, it's kinda funky, but it's pretty sweet
In my hands.
when i'm playing the hat my right thumb is on the stick in sort of a fist type style. it's a lot easier. But when i ain't playing the old hi hat it's always match grip.
I learned the rudiments with traditional grips, but lately I've been playing matched grips...like mcf said, I get more action out of the wrists...
:drumset-3:
i hold my left tight and the right loose between my thumb and rest of hand for short rolls. most of the time just even.
Matched grip. I do not have enough talent for tradational :icon_mrgreen:
