DVD Review: Contains Misinformation
Summary: 1 Stars
In this instructional DVD, Weckl tells the drummer/viewer to NOT play what is known as French Grip (thumbs on top). He claims that the wrist does not move that way, and that he's known people that have ended up in the hospital from this grip. He states that the German grip (palm down) is the only matched grip. This is utter nonsense, and constitutes misinformation. First off, the wrist does naturally move in a up/down motion if you hold your hand so your palm is facing to the left. If you wrist doesn't move in that direction, you need to see a doctor right away because you have an abnormality. Second, the French Grip is not based on the wrist moving up and down, it's based on the fingers and the same motion you use to open a door (see JoJo Mayer's hand DVD). Moreover, Weckl states you should only switch to this grip when using your fingers. When exactly would that be Dave? Should I constantly switch grips on the fly as the music is happening? Sounds like a recipe for failure to me. Finally, it should be noted that there are drummers that use French Grip exclusively, Bill Stewart being the most notable. Stewart has phenomenal technique and (as far as I know) hasn't ended up in the hospital. If your hands/wrists/arms hurt, it's not likely that it's your choice of grip. It's more likely that you're holding the sticks too tight, or hitting way too hard.
Weckl should release an addendum to this DVD that corrects this blatant misinformation about a very commonly used grip.
