For me... I use Traditional grip.. share ko lng po ung pros and cons saken nitong grip..
Prons..
-the advantage of easy shifting from snare to your tom.. kasi most of the time, nung naka matched grip ako, sumasabit sa rim ng tom yung sticks ko.. ahhuhuhu.. now i've found a way to solve it!..
-when playing soft songs, mas relax ang left hand ko
-it allows me to execute fast strokes (1234)=(RLRL) in a fast manner. like 32nd? tama ba?
-easy execution of ghost notes..
COns..
-mejo mahirap matyempuhan ang proper rim shot
-pag gipit sa space ang drumset because of the venue, so compressed yung set up mo, sumasabit ang left hand ko sa hats while hitting tom.
-hindi madaling mag cross-stick..
ayun po.. share ko lang... but i use Matched Grip from time to time.. when loud playing is required.. I shifted to Traditional because of the reason na, im a loud player... napapagalitan ako sa school ensemble namen because of it... i found out that Traditional Grip allows me to control my volume easily.. from soft-medium-loud... pag very loud, Matched grip!
cheers!!!
