STICK TWIRLING AND SHOWMANSHIP TECHNIQUE.

I was just wondering if anyone had a step by step with pics instead of a video, becuase I can't get any of the videos. Thanks

but once you have got a twirl neat then the next step is to play a groove, adapt a fill so that all or part of it can be played with one hand while the other does the twirl, AND NOT LOSE TIME!
hope this helps.

ps: i have other twirls (thumb twirl and the change-to-butt-twirl) but maybe another day, eh?

thanks bob.

like in most drumming the parts make up the whole. it was a couple of years of just doing the twirl once before i realised i could double it. in the beginning it was a bit jerky, the transition from the first twirl to the second, but then it got better. i found that practicing with a longer stick helped. i got half a pool cue to do this with. the long stick has more momentum so once it is going it kind of doesn't stop...your fingers then begin to figure out where they need to be at the transition point between each twirl.

Love this thread, man. I remember nearly breaking my computer monitor practicing the twirls when it first was posted.
 
Hello people, First off, I love stick tricks and think they add greatly to your performance if your playing is solid. However, my question is about other crowd pleasers and "show moves."
I'm wondering what other showmanship "things" are out there besides just twirling sticks. But, I'm not looking for anything like puting water on your drums, nothing messy please.
Thanks
 
Hello, I think stick twirling is pretty cool and I do practice that, but what are some other crowd pleasers and "show moves." I don't ask this to be really proud, but it is fun sometimes. I'm not looking for anything messy or expensive, because there are a lot better things you can do with your money (helping others) and being messy is just disrespectful to whereever your playing

Nutha Jason, your videos were pretty good! I'm having fun trying out the trick of letting go of the stick on my palm, it's hard.

A trick I discovered was doing the 'fake twirl' between two fingers, and throwing the stick up into the air straight afterwards. It's quite easy if you can do the twirl to begin with. You just do one spin and let the stick go, then catch it. I'll make a video of it maybe.
 
can anyone tell me what technique this is?

its hard to tell. i think he may be fake twirling clockwise singles. look at his hads when he's not twirling. is he holding the sticks conventionally or between his pointer and middle finger ready for the twirl after each stroke?
