Traditional Grip: The debate settled.

[zmorton]

LOL!!! Great stuff. The debate is finally over.

[hanayalator]

That seriously took three months??

[CLWarunki]

Sure, the video was a very amusing statement, as intended - great jokes about Gruber and Peart, LOL.

However, someone could just as easily make a video to counter it where Trad Grip is the OLD FASHIONED NERD and Match Grip is the NEW BALANCED LOGIC. The video within the video would be Chambers rather than Vinnie.

If I was to make a video on the topic, I would have both grips as my friends [img]wink.gif[/img]

Well done though! I did enjoy it.

[Klemme]

Yah funny stuff guys!

Waiting with high expectations for the Sequel! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/star.gif[/img]

...e-x-c-e-llent stuff chaps. Laffed my socks off .....so, how come, when I showed it to someone normal ( ie a non-drummer female partner type) I only got a withering look of pity mixed with puzzlement and a 'you're strange' comment?
Are we really a breed apart? Do I really need to ask that question? - oh - and I agree - you've got way too much spare time!

i can't view the video because of this shit firewall, but it SOUNDS even funny.
so, I have to imagine, what I could see, if I could.

CLW - funny thing is, Weckl can kill with matched too [have seen him do it at a couple of clinics]...& Vinnie played matched for a while in the mid-to-late 80s/early 90s...but both went back ;c)...then there's Dennis & Novak...[but all these guys can play TG too ;cP]...

Just watched it yet again...brilliant. Classic. Hilarious. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Only a real man's drummer can appreciate its uniqueness & full-bodied, rich blend of high-brow[!] humor, Johndrum [img]wink.gif[/img] !

Oh, & Lucius' comment "Bobby Rocks hair back in the day! (Looks like a poodles behind" was priceless. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Another way to 'start' your day... [img]cool.gif[/img]

No, it did not take three months to make. Three months was the duration of time it took due to weeks going by in between shooting. 3-4 days of shooting maybe and a couple days editing.

[Mr. Acrolite]

I've watched it a few times, and it continues to be laugh-out-loud funny! The toughest thing with this is, when I find something this funny, I want to share it. But then WHO to share it with? You end up over-explaining it:

You see, there's two ways to hold drumsticks, right? And there's a lot of debate over which is better, see? And there's this guy Steve, who's this excellent drummer, and he's got this site where a bunch of the people like this one way of holding their sticks, you know? Yes, I'm serious, there really IS a site like that. But that's not what's so funny. Now, do you know who Neil Peart is? No? Then I bet you don't know who Gruber... Aw hell, forget it. Never mind. You wouldn't understand. Let's go downstairs and watch Family Guy...
