@bankerdrummer Match grip has been around since ancient times, and Traditional grip originated out of the revolution/civil war tmes b/c they would have drummer boys that would play drum roll offs to tel them when it was time to fire, shoot, or retreat. The drum they carry was slung to the left of they sides, so in order to make it easy to play the snare with their left hands, they devolpe a style of playing the march drum call traditional grip. Match grip is the older of the 2.

@majestytd depending on the style, traditional grip can offer greater sensitivity and response to the left hand, in most cases. Matched grip isn't exactly modern either, both grips have been around since god knows when and mostly it's all about preference. As a user of both I like to switch between grips mid-gig or mid-song.

Hey, is not the brand of drums but the drummer to make it sound great.

@musadrumz Yes, the PHX drums has an insane prize!

[musadrumz]

if only we had $14,000 for a 8x7 tom.

I don't know every time I see a drummer that hold a left hand grip is kind of weird, it just me but he is good. Now a day when kid learn drums I think most of them prefer modern grip like right and left hand hold the same grip...

@drumsticks135 It's his Signature Snare, I guess... It has two independent snare strainers.

come on he get's paid by Yamaha to tell us how great they are, I don't have a problem with that, but there are def. better brands you can get.
