What grip do you guys use for Moeller? Do you ever think about it?
I recently started experimenting with the right hand grip espoused by Sanford Moeller in The Moeller Book. It’s a pretty weird one, and in the picture in the book, the thumb isn’t even on the stick. I also learned what the Admin of the Facebook Moeller technique page calls “Antique side drum grip”, which goes back to at least the 18th century, and as far as I can tell is the first drum grip that was ever conceived of or written about in some of these historic drumming manuals. (Check out historicdrumming.com for more info.)
Anyway, I guarantee there is information in this video that you haven’t seen or heard before, so if you accept this mission, watch my video and give me some feedback…ha ha.
