Basic Hand Technique Revisited Part 1- The Traditional Grip

Here is a video on my basic hand technique featuring the traditional grip with multiple camera views. I have done some other videos on this topic but those were mostly a front view perspective. I also talk about the ratios of wrist, finger, and bounce strokes I use to play stickings and rudiments.
This should help answer the many questions I receive regularly on this topic.
