In this method I described, a drummer plays with PALMS down to the surface.(I am now practicing with matched grip) Some drummers play with palms facing each other and thumbs up so it is essentially a finger action. (I have seen a video of Greg Bissonette playing this way and I think Greg is killer!) A classic drummer with conventional grip, such as Joe Morello played back in the 60's in the "take 5" era, is usually seen with the left hand in traditional poise with the stick through the thumb palm up and the stick then going between the third and fourth finger (or actually the 2nd and 3rd finger, the thumb I guess is a thumb not a finger You know the traditional grip) The right hand is sortof palm down, but when the drummer goes to the ride cymbal its 'thumb up'. I have talked to certain younger drummers (younger than me because the 60s was my era) one guy who was said to be really doing some nice things said that I should learn to flip the hands over so I am playing thumbs up palms towards each other, He said one can play faster. I am still totally confused. Comments appreciated. Havent done this in decades. How should I be practicing for the ride cymbal, palm down or palm side ways (or both?) Post Extras
