@Audi0Phil If you have ever smoked weed you would know it stimulates your creativity. Your incredibly ignorant sir, so I suggest you just give it a rest.
@FeeLtheHertZ I doubt its arbitrary. I would assume that he uses the grip that sounds right for the music he's playing. Doesn't strike me as the kinda drummer who stubbornly uses one grip just because he's afraid of any others.
@catalystdrums123 In this video he's probably using matched because it's more comfortable. He was hitting the side snare with a rim shot each time and moving the hand from the snare to the hi-hat, so holding the stick in matched was more comfortable.
@ryder187mac He has always encouraged drummers to play matched grip over traditional and has said that the only reason he still plays traditional himself is just out of habit more than anything else. I suspect that he's finally trying to unlearn some "bad habits" and follow his own advice.
@i3itchman Absolute bullshit. He encourages people to choose the grip they feel comfortable with. And it's obvious that "matched" is the more popular alternative because it's "easier" (I don't think so) to learn. So why's traditional grip a "bad habit" in your opinion? I wanted to learn this grip, now I'm really comfortable with it and switched completely from matched to this variation because I love the feel! Don't judge if you aren't familiar with this grip, dude.
@i3itchman I disagree with you. It depends on the sound you want to get, the way you feel more comfortable and the style you play. One is not worse than another, it's just a matter of your choise.
This man's technique is second to none....and that second snare sounds absolutely beautiful...perfect snare sound he's getting from it. I wonder if that's because of tuning or because of the reduced size.
@tcslick420 hes using the but end of the stick to achieve a fatter less focused sound on the side snare and its just easy to keep it while he moves to his main instead of rapidly and repeatedly switching
Dude, that frobeard rocks so much ass.

Weed is a + for any drummer. Completely relaxes you into the zone.
Also brings out your creativity something chronic. Excuse the pun.
