Drum Stick Grip!
Another video response request from a monthly member, how to position the stick so it feels “just right” and gives you the best chance of getting it to do what you want it to!
Hope this is helpful and thanks for watching as always. And please excuse the lo-fi nature of this video, it was shot in quick “video-response” format, which is a service available to monthly members of the channel (You send me your question, I send you my video response!)
And thanks to Sam for allowing me to post this on the main channel.

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
