I like the way that Darren Matthes puts it
no grip that allows you to express your self is ever wrong. some just are easier.
so explain differently, do you mean traditional?
cause i playa traditional but not on the set, thats just weird.
I really wish that we could actually show the pictures in here...
Wasn't traditional grip originally invented so that marching band members wouldn't tire out with their left arm from playing matched grip?

Rudiments?
i was unsure about both grips myself, i just went to the library (or maybe youtube.com even) and rented some drum instructional videos/dvd's and they had several and all showed you how to do it
it was much easier for me to understand them both seeing someone explain it, its hard to explain in text i think
a good one is one with ed soph in it btw
hope that helps, ive been trying to use traditional a bit, and actually helps on my snare stickings when i need multiple quick hits, IF i hold it like the tapes show me.....too poor for an instructor
