The grip of the drum stick is traditional American.

There are usually three kinds of grips: symmetrical grip, standard grip and modern grip. Description of these three methods.

1。 Symmetry:

Symmetry, also known as direct grip. First of all, we must find out when we have reached the fulcrum of the stick. If it is divided into three equal parts, the third place to stick to the fulcrum is the near stick at the end of the year. Why do I say this is its fulcrum? Try to draw the position as a fulcrum. You will find that only the third place near the end of the stick can you play the best feeling of balance and flexibility. Then, grasp the fulcrum with your index finger and thumb. The forefinger of the first joint touches the drumstick, and the drumstick is grasped symmetrically with the forefinger at the semi-thumb joint position. Force method is to insist on two fingers moving up and down easily, but don't fall down. Press the drumstick gently with the other three fingers, and keep your arms in a straight line as far as possible, so that more muscles can control the drumstick. His palms are opposite, and his left hand holds his right hand. Please pay attention to relax whether you are sitting or standing. Stand up straight and raise your arms naturally. When you feel it, the stiff posture of muscles in any part is incorrect. As long as the above requirements are met, the arm is naturally raised and the drumstick head is in the most eye-catching position, which is the correct leading preparation posture. This grip is commonly used, as well as in timpani, percussion instruments and basic games.

2 The standard formula is as follows:

Traditional grip. Holding the right hand is different from holding the left hand. Cloudy right hand symmetry, and traditional left hand. The distance between the left hand and the drumstick is about one third, and the ring is put on. After the finger and the little finger are half held, the joints of the index finger and the middle finger naturally bend, and the whole hand is half-fist-shaped. Palm inward. Holding a stick in his hand, he will continue to insist that the thumb, ring finger and little finger of the tiger's mouth hold up two chicken legs at about 90 degrees. The power of the left hand flip battle. This wrist technique is mainly used to play drums and drums, especially the most commonly used jazz style.

3。 Modern:

The modern style, also known as the wrist-hugging style, maintains roughly the same symmetrical stick, but the hand is turned inward so that the palm is facing down. The drumstick of 2 focuses on hitting the upper parts of the two bars at an angle of about 75 degrees. Used for drumming, especially in modern music.

The above three grip methods. It should be noted that no matter what it is, the flexibility of use, the integration of arms, wrists and fingers, wrists and fingers, hands and drums, the use of different fingers, drumsticks and drumsticks, more practice, and more feelings about the relationship between hand natural exercise muscle control and stick, you can't leave a small mouth in the tiger's mouth.

After reading the above introduction, I think you should understand and practice the grip, and you will naturally master the correct grip.
