One of the most intimidating things about starting on an instrument is not knowing how to start. Drums are no different. I went years being interested in drums, but never starting because I wasn't shown a basic skill like how to hold a drum stick!
The good news is that this isn't a hard skill to learn. It's simply a matter of becoming familiar with was once unfamiliar, and this is done by imitation and repetition.
In the video below, I give an overview of how to hold drum sticks with a "matched" grip (vs. "traditional" grip). Give it a watch to get started learning how to hold drum sticks for use on a practice pad, and later on a drum set!
