There is nothing wrong with how he's holding his sticks. He's holding them French Grip (palms out) and really, the only wrong way to do something is any way that limits you from being the best you can be or that gives you pain or discomfort while playing.

I studied with Rick back in the 80's and he was a real character. This certainly sounds like him Scott! Good job.

Highly recommend to study Horacio's "Conversations in Clave" if one wants to master all this stuff.

Rick's Licks! Love the book! His video was cheesy, but that was the "90's". I loved watching him miss that cymbal hit in his into music. But, nonetheless, one of the best instructional videos out there. He doesn't spend time showing off, but teaching. I transferred my VHS to DVD and divided it in chapters according to the sections in the instruction pamphlet. I'm still learning a lot from it.
