Watch Roy Mayorga.
- AlbertCory 3y ago> "Reversed, the way the weight of the stick meets the head is just insanely loud. It makes your drum project so much more, if that’s what you want. That’s when you’ve really got to stretch your arms out, because the weight of the stick makes for a lot of wear and tear on your forearms." https://drummagazine.com/roy-mayorga-the-soulfly-interview/ I'm not a drummer, so I shouldn't make blanket statements like that, I guess. I always thought they held the sticks loosely. Look at Ginger Baker & Elvin Jones, from 0:56 on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFTvZl8G9Z4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFTvZl8G9Z4 Or Roy Haynes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBeBnnqpOcs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBeBnnqpOcs
