I've been struggling of late with a sore hand and decided that I would give traditional grip a go.
I didn't expect it to be perfectly natural immediately, but did expect that I would be able to get by.
And I sort of can...when playing the snare.
However, when it comes to moving from snare to toms the stick position is all wrong and feels like I would have to be a contortionist to twist my arm into a position where the stick would strike the head.
And the situation is even worse with cymbals...I am at a total loss as to how one can actually strike a cymbal in any way, shape or form, with left hand using traditional grip.
Seem to be spending time at the kit just completely bemused on this at the moment?
Anyone got a phenomenal tip which would help here?
