Due to my favorite drummer (Jason Mcgerr) being able to play both traditonal and matched grip I just recently switched to traditional and have really felt an increase in coordination and technique/accuracy.

The question I have is, since it uses a slightly different set of muscles I have noticed a lack of speed, maybe it is just the control of the rebound although my doubles sound even smoother than ever before. I know some drummers work out, outside of drumming to increase their speed, and power. I was wandering if anyone was interesting in sharing their work outs, and or exercises. Off and on the drum set but mostly off as I know a lot of the ones on the set or snare.

Thanks for the tips
