Hello, it'sss me!
Again with an older subject that we discussed before, i'll go straight to the point.. I practice the traditionnal grip and with some previous videos, I learned that my right hand was kind of a french grip hybrid, but not executed right.
Then I recieved the advices to switch to German or anything other then the thumb over the stick for the drums at least. (We suspected a pain in the ankle because of wrong technique back then)
Since then, I practice using the German grip for the right hand (and switching to French for the jazz ride)
***
A couple of days ago the subject of the sticking was brought up again with the open-close technique and I actually worked on this in the last days (without too much joy). Especially the wrist and finger movements for the right hand, along with lifting the stick higher for the double stroke. ( with left hand technique too)
Watching these videos, made me want to look at the French grip again, for the right hand only, to make sure that I do it correctly for the ride but also for the drums. Most people don't like French grip as seen previously, but some people say good things about it also, 2 school of thought existing.
I want to switch my order of learning priority by putting French grip higher then the open close technique. First to be able to play correctly on the ride with French but at the same time, I want to correct my technique on the drums and perhaps even the hi-hats.
- Do you have a good guide to learn french grip correctly for the right hand ?
- Any fingers exercises to practice for french grip?
- I am risking this 3rd question, what about playing the FG on the Hi-hats?
