Similarly: Why do drum teachers and instructional videos lie about how to hold drumsticks? I was told for years to hold them at the balance point. This is wrong! You generally hold them a few inches lower than the balance point which allows you bounce the stick loosely in your hand so that it rotates in the air around the balance point.
- kazinator 3y agoThey probably do the same thing, and don't notice that it doesn't coincide with the static balance point.
- vultour 3y agoDo they? Most tutorials I've seen tell you to find the perfect "bounce" spot, which is the spot where the stick will give you the most bounces when released and left to freely pivot around your finger.
