Have another trip into drummer’s horror cabinet. I show you methods that make it nearly impossible to play. Make yourself ready for The Hammer Grip!
When muscular guys want to play Heavy Metal but don’t have a well-trained grip technique, they tend to use a stick like a hammer! All fingers are heavily closed around the stick. Better go out of the way, or you will get nailed! :)
If you ever find yourself playing while using this Sick Stick Grip you will know that you almost reached the end of the flagpole. You are possibly only seconds away from a heart attack or at least a serious collapse.
I don’t need to explain what’s wrong with this grip. If you want to use it anyway; why do you use sticks at all?
Note that even the most powerful metal players developed are high level of technique. Powerful playing comes from a well-trained technique, natural movement, good body condition and – the perfect grip!
Hey nice Article! Very funny! lol
