[Aphex21]

[theterrapins]

maybe? No...oops! You know what I ment? Just matched grip, I say I say!

[gamer0unreleased]

"Traditional matched grip?"

[jalen2467]

@gamer0unreleased he meant matched grip. i think he meant to say "the classic matched grip" and didnt think of traditional at the time

[theterrapins]

We did!

[tonymlg91]

i literally do this exact twirl while i play i thought i invented it =[

[theterrapins]

Thanks!

[theterrapins]

[12AustinJohnson12]

[joeybbbbbz]

thank you very much, this is much appreciated

:)

[theterrapins]

@joeybbbbbz right back at you brother!

[punkart957]

Thank you SO much!!

I'm 1st chair in the eighth grade percussion section, and I've always been the one to help the other guys.. Except with stick tricks XD I could do flam-a-diddles at 225, easily, but I couldn't twirl mah darn stick! =P A few of the guys have tried to help me out, but I couldn't get it XD Thanks a ton!!

[theterrapins]

Thanks for the thanks, I think there are better ways to do it, but this is the way I learned. I never found anybody that did it this way. It's nice to know I am teaching what came natural to me. I think 225 is awesome. Keep kicking azz!

[fireems343]

yea it is a good video for newbs... I do the same flip except instead of the drop I use the up stroke after a strike as my momentum

[theterrapins]

I would like to see how you do that. Do you have a video of it?

[fireems343]

I will try to get one up for you, it is the exact same thing I just use the my up stroke to gain momentum... but again I will try to get one for you

[alexp9999]

yo...i was like "what the F are you talking about?!"

so i fiddled with a drumstick for thirty seconds or so...and i totally GOT IT....finally!!! i wasn't dropping it back into my hand after the last spin, which is why it wasn't returning to the original position smoothly...a year or so, and finally got it now =) =)

you rock!! thank you!!!

[theterrapins]

OK. I will try. It might take some time to do because I am on the road for a wile.

I will put it together when I get home.

Thanks for asking.....Steve

[westsidepieface]

can u please slow it down more u lost me it so freaken hard....

[Jack3Davison]

you lost me at 0:22

[theterrapins]

I just looked at 0:22 and I just can't see what you mean. Is it the way I drop the stick?

[Jack3Davison]

nooo! dont worry man.. i was just implying that im too crap at spinning drum sticks as soon as you started i was confused :L I obviously didnt do too well!

[MehMehBear]

It that an Aerosmith Rollercoaster drumstick?

[theterrapins]

Yes it is! I thought it would look cool. I had a pair of them, but I broke one very fast. I use Pro Mark 747 Rock American Hickory, at my gigs. They last and feel good in my hand.  Thanks,

Steve the drummer

[MehMehBear]

lol I have the same pair...

[theterrapins]

cool... I think you could try it using 4 fingers to spin 4x or something like that! it's hard to do at first and than it's easy.

[mrammaji]

I have mastered this move thanks to this fantastic video, and I have short fat fingers, so everyone with 5 fingers should be able to do it. I am now practicing my left hand.. Thanks for the hint Steve..

[MattttyBoy]

this is confusing me at 0:38 your middle finger jumps through the stick lol

[theterrapins]

I think I know what you mean. You just have to look at it over and over to see what is going on at that time spot 0:38

I wish I could help you out better.

[srhfrhg]

so how could it be incorporated into say a groove or fill?

[theterrapins]

I use it at the end of the song for some reason, I do not know why. Just a habit.

I think it could be used in a song with space in it. Like a beat that has a rest so you can twirl in that space.
