Zephyr66 is right on. Try this for a slow motion demo:
Position the stick in the crook of your index and middle finger on your good hand. The butt should be on your palm side and the tip on the backhand side.
With your other hand, take the butt of the stick and move it slowly in a wide circular pattern in front of your palm.
What you see is all that needs to happen. The stick never leaves the crook of those fingers or spins freely. You just work your index and middle fingers back and forth to make it go.
With a bit of practice, you should be twirling like Tommy Lee in no time. If it helps, hum Motley Crue's Wild Side when you do it.
