Aspiring drummers, assemble! In this introduction to drumming video, Nathan shows you how to properly hold drum sticks, using Match Grip.
This grip can be used for marching percussion instruments, drum set, concert percussion instruments, and more!
Don’t have a drum or drum sticks? No problem! You can practice some of these grip and rotation techniques by using your wrist.
Need some sticks? We recommend this pair from Innovative Percussion – it’s a great pair for marching musicians!
