According to your friends you're pretty good at both.Made me laugh a little bit. Would you mind putting something up on youtube? Even amazing virtuoso players like Paul Gilbert held the pick wrong and damaged themselves, eventually having to retrain a part of their technique and relearning how to hold their pick. What's to interesting is that you actually came to watch this video... why did you end up here? Because you wanted to learn how to hold a drumstick or because you're a nolifer?

Well, i played guitar 4 years and played rockband for a few months before i bought a drumset, which i play almost everyday for the past couple years, so no one taught me how to hold sticks or picks, and according to my other musician freinds, i'm pretty good at both.
If you're 7, yeah this vid will help, but if you're 12 or older then after looking at how everyone else holds thier sticks, it shouldn't be that hard.

Are you serious? It's a very common problem for a lot of drummers, especially beginners to get carpel syndrome of tendinitis because you're holding your sticks wrong and using too much vertical movement over horizontal movement. I'm a guitarist myself, holding a guitar pick is one of the hardest things figuring out when it comes down to pure technique and you can get damaged if you don't hold it correctly. I figure holding your drumsticks is equally important, don't you agree?

If anyone has to be taught how to hold a drumstick, they shouldn't be a drummer....
Sticking is important, but if anyone is so terrible that they have to check Expertvillage how to hold it, they should become a guitarist.
