I'm brand new here, AND brand new to ( maybe) trying to play drums.
(note: I'm a guitar player who has been hanging around too much with a few really good jazz/funk drummers in a '70's soul band project)
Just a practice pad now, and soon, a snare drum. It may never go farther than this, but that's OK!
I'm literally just working on the first 3, or 4 rudiments from 'Stick Control' book + watching videos on playing these and the grips. Weeks now.
My question is,
I've been working on these exercises 50/50 using both grips, back and forth, and I actually feel more comfortable with the LH Traditional Grip. I think it's a jazz thing...
Is it dumb for me, or bad technique to be switching back and forth?
Should I commit to just either Matched or Traditional. Work on Control and speed with only one?
Appreciate any wisdom here! Thanks
