My thoughts on basic stick technique

Here’s my take on basic stick technique for beginning percussionists. Traditional vs. matched and then the various versions of matched grip. Per the video, here’s a link to Gordy Knudtson’s channel:

My emphasis here is on front (pointer finger/thumb fulcrum) vs. back (middle/ring finger fulcrum) loaded technique and where both apply. I hope you find this useful!
