Hey man great video! Helped out a lot. I just have one question. I'm having a lot of trouble holding the stick in my right hand. My thumb and index finger constantly slip off the stick and its frustrating when im trying to do rolls. I have noticed however that my pinkie is not fully wrapped around the stick. Could the position of my pinkie be affecting the fulcrum? Thanks a lot!

try loosening your shoulders
let them move in the direction your wrists are going
relax your back.. may be your holding the sticks too tight. make it so you can just feel the stick bouncing

HI, I've been having problem swith my grip, in that i found the stick rolling up my finger to the secong knuckle rather than staying by the first. Would this cause me problem? Anyway, you mentioning keeping the gap close between the thumb and finger may be what i need to do to sort this out. So if it does, thanks! If it doesn't, again, would it be a big problem?

Thanks for watching! The knuckle thing and the closing the gap thing work hand in hand. In terms of closing the gap between the thumb and finger, this approach places the pivot point of the stick onto the index finger. So the stick would have to stay on the first knuckle. If you choose to let the stick slide down further, be sure to still let the stick have a nice loose upstroke when you play. Overall, you want to stay loose and relaxed when you play. Thanks Again!

Perhaps you're holding the sticks too tight or maybe causing the sticks to hit the drum at a bad angle or something...it's probably something simple; which is what makes it frustrating...give me some more details and I'll try to help you out
