Twin Drumming

The idea of Twin Drumming is to use both ends of the drumstick equally. Since an ordinary stick has only one tip and the blunt end doesn't sound good, it is not suitable for Twin Drumming.
To solve this problem, the Twinstick with 2 equal tips has been developed. Using them, it is now possible to play various rudiments with one hand on two toms, on a cymbal or on a high hat in which the single strokes sound equally. The Twinsticks make it possible to play with 4 tips, to that effect the variants are extremely versatile. Fast fills and real grooves become very easy to play. Check it out, it's worth it!

Grip Technique

As grip technique, the matched grip is suitable for both hands.
The stick is held in the middle with thumb and index finger (see illustration at the bottom left). The strokes are either created by up and down movement of the wrist, or at higher tempi with assistance of the ring finger and middle finger.

The Twin Grip represents a new and excellent grip technique. Taking the matched grip, the wrist is turned 90 degrees inwards. Index finger and middle finger are located under the stick while the ring finger lies on the stick and the thumb rests on the side of the stick (see illustration at the bottom right). Bring your drumming under control "in a jiffy"!

By the way:

The Twinstick can naturally be used as an ordinary drumstick, too. The change from the ordinary way of playing to Twin Drumming and vice versa is absolutely problem-free.

Concerning the set up of your drum kit, make sure to place toms and cymbal in such manner that you are able to hit the center of the drum heads with the tips of the Twinstick, and that you can play on the high hat and the cymbal with both ends of the stick.
