It's oh so fun to do! Hard to get the hang of at first but once you do you can't stop! That's what I do now, browse the forum on my iPod touch with my left hand and spin the stick with my right! Helps a lot and I'm getting pretty good. To me it's like skipping with my eyes closed, for some odd reason it's easier to do.

Any way not really a drummer just had a stick lying around and wanted to try it. Any other drummers/stick spinners? A pointless post? Kindof but it truly is very fun to do... ;)

I cant get the hang of it, been trying for ages! Our drummer does it mid song and in perfect timing and it just looks so cool so I got jealous and been trying but I just can't get it. :oops:

Same here! The drummer in my band has been doin it for some time and I was always so jeleous. Then I saw Levon helm the drummer from the band doing it in a video and I just had to do it! I just watched a YouTube video to learn, some military drummer. He has lots of neat tricks.

Hi will pumpkin: please give us a link to that YouTube vid. It's never too late to learn.

I was a drummer before I was a guitarist and more decades ago than I care to mention I used to sit on the bus on the way to school and practice spinning drum sticks. There's several methods - and I never mastered any of them. I used to drive a crowded bus mad with the sound of repeatedly dropping drum sticks! :lol:

Still, I saw Buddy Rich play live many times. Never saw him twirling his sticks: he was busy playing. I tried to console myself with that good example...

Cheers - C
