A different twist on the trad vs matched question...
In relation to a clock position on the snare, where are your hands?
I switched to traditional grip a few months back but abandoned it after some thumb tendonitis issues. I've revisited it this week, but keeping my index finger on top of the stick. So far, it has taken the strain off of my thumb.
At any rate, when using trad, my left hand is at the 9 o'clock position and my right is around 5 o'clock. Do any of you play with that wide of a spread? I can't comfortably bring my left hand closer without feeling like I'm pinching my wrist.
Fortunately, my teacher is reluctant to make me bring my hand closer, especially if it doesn't work for me.
I was just wondering where you have your hands placed...
