When students come for their very 1st lesson, this is the very first thing I show students: How to hold the drum sticks correctly.
It's also something that needs to be looked at over and over so we continue to develop the better technique.
The foundation of any good drumming technique is how we actually hold the drum sticks.
And it comes down to 6 principles.
1) Build the fulcrum
2) Fingers around stick
3) Stick going down the hand
4) Relax the grip
5) Find the Balance Point
6) Relax arms and shoulders

The equipment I use:
Drums: The drum kit I am playing here on this video is a Mapex Orion. Its a 6 piece drum kit. Tom sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16.

Cymbals: The cymbals are all Zildjian: A series...

Moongel: I am a fan of moongel on all the drums. It dampens the sound and makes it more punchy... If you have a problem with overtones, definitely give it a try...

Microphones: I use Audix microphones

Bass Drum Pedal: The pedal used here is an Axis longboard.

Recording Software: Cubase Elements 10
