Ok, so the stick doesn't actually spin, that makes it easier.
I still have some questions and observations though.
Which way is this circular motion?
The drumstick is between my index and middle fingers (close to the tips or at the webbing? I don't know where the crook is
sorry)
Am I just moving my fingers back and forth, as if they where walking? And with the drumstick between them, it just gets swung back and forth in a half arc? I'm still confused. I'm practicing with a pen right now, and it looks like I'm swinging the pen back and forth, not spinning it.
I saw somebody do this right in front of me, it looked like it was spinning really slowly, but when I'm swinging the pen back and forth it looks too quick.
I'm probably not doing it right.
I appreciate your input.
