There's only one rule to drumming techniques....
"If it causes pain, don't."
It isn't worth rebreaking your fingers over drums.

My late great teacher wouldn’t let me progress to the next pattern in my drum books unless I could play it comfortably both left and right handed!! It was years before I realised that not everyone did that...I think I’m going to regularly include left handed playing in my practice sessions to expand the repertoire and my mind.
My pinky is 12” long, but I don’t use it as a rule...My crooked ass fingers twist also. The pinky likes to nest part way under the ring finger sometimes. It's never been a problem.
Sounds like you had a fabulous instructor!My late great teacher wouldn’t let me progress to the next pattern in my drum books unless I could play it comfortably both left and right handed!! It was years before I realised that not everyone did that...![]()
