which seemed to work better at the higher angle that the left hand requires
I simply meant that some "feel better," but not that I can't use any pair of sticks handed to me.
Over all, my question is simple. What feels best for YOU?
That's interesting. I've been noticing a difference in hand position/stick angle on various drummers all the time, it definitely looks like different angles to me (esp. the vintage drummers).there should be no angle difference in your stick position

There should be with traditional grip. That is why the grip was created. Of course, it is pertinent that the sticks be as close to the same angle as possible, but without changing to a bad form, there will be a slight difference, if maybe only by ten degrees. .

Due to the nature of trad grip, the stick is positioned differently.
although I didn't like the way they felt in matched.
my left stick is positioned exactly the same as my right ...just with my hand on the bottom of the stick.
no difference in position or angle
if I flip my hand to matched nothing changes about the stick.....it stays exactly where it was
as was taught to me and reenforced by some of the best players to breathe our air
You never mentioned that your right hand was the one being pulled up. By the way you were arguing. most would assume you meant that the left hand had to be pulled down. But I see you meant.
I think people are getting a bit off topic than my original question. I do watch videos by wooton, he's a great percussionist. But he also prefer's to tilt the drum itself, which is fine, there are times where that seems more comfortable, but I keep a flat surface so that I don't have to switch the drums back and forth. I would very much appreciate it if people would just stick to the original question. I didn't come here to learn things I already know, I just wanted opinions. I will start another thread on something we can all debate about later. let's keep it simple for now.
Anthony, I don't quite agree here. I'm perceiving the question as 'open' and not as being posted by an inexperienced person.I think the reason no one is sticking to the original question is because the original question is ridiculous
it's like asking .......what pedal is best for playing metal?
or.....what drum heads are best for blues music ?
when you ask a question like.....what sticks are best for traditional grip?....... people automatically assume that you are very inexperienced .....and rightfully so
come with a legit question and you will get a legit answer.t

(Some general remarks)
Regardless of that, threads tend to get 'dynamic' as there might be brought forward aspects that don't exactly match the topic in the thread title. But that's ok overall. As for _this_ thread, I think it's safe to assume by now what is on topic and what isn't. So decide for yourself whether to stick to the topic or elaborate side aspects. But do so in a nice manner please.
