Could someone please help! I`m going to start to play the snare drum and I`d like to know how to hgold the drumsticks.

srry.. I meant hold not hgold

i dont know anything about drums but do you know anything about guitars?

well, in your right hand, you hold the stick between your thumb joint and your pointer finger joint. keep your fingers tucked in at all times. play with your palm facing down. in your left hand, hold the stick with your palm facing up. the stick goes as far back between your thumb and pointer finger as you can get it. wrap your pointer finger around it, then place your thumb on the last joint of your finger. keep your pinkey and ring finger bent under the stick, and your middle finger is just there for balance. that`s pretty much it. let me know if you need more help.

i also forgot to mention to hold the drumsticks about one-third from the end of the stick

hey! sorry i cant help eith that prob cus i play flute and i tottaly suck and the drums but i wanted to tell you that drummers are sexy!!!!!

this is kind of nasty but put your thumb and pointer finger around the drumstick so if you put a screw through your thumbnail it would come out of your pointer finger then lightly wrap the rest of your fingers around the drumstick

im in the band and i play bass drum but next year i have to play the snare and i have ony like 3 months to learn so could someone e-mail me tips and some sheet music so i can learn this?

i don`t think you even know what you`re talking about, tyler. tightly wrapping your fingers around a drumstick will screw you up while trying to roll.

THe guy is right you hoild them losely or else youll be screwed up wen u roll person who wanted to know about how u hold them are you talking about matched grip or regular grip???

I can help because I am in a band at school in IL name Rich East and it is all about the band thair. what I an tell you from 5 years ex, is when playing never look down at the drum because I am in a marching band and if you look dow you start getting nervis. If you drop your sticks dont pick them up!!!!!!!

just ask your band director for a rudiments tape and just watch and practice, you should get it in no time, that is if you`re devoted.

First off Match IS the same as regular grip, and once(if) you switch to Traditional sticking, dont plan on playing match very well again.
Second goto like www.drumlines.org or something and post on the forums there.

hey im a snare drummer and i was wonderin if ne body could send me sum sheets of easy lines of music or sumthin
