Part 2: Left hand wrist rotation

@lelafrank

Regarding 8 on a hand, are there any pointers you might suggest for those that attempt this exercise using traditional grip?

@thtasiandrummer

I’ve been listening to a lot of snare vids, and it seems that the left hand traditional sounds lower than the right hand. I had a question about keeping sound quality the same in both hands. I’m not sure if it’s how I’m holding the sticks of something.

@vdoejarrett

I’m really looking to improve my wrist rotation in my left hand, especially in the low end of playing.

@brendonblanco

Hey! I’m auditioning for Gateway percussion and I got all good feedback on my technique, but they said I needed to turn my left wrist more. Are there any exercises or anything you know to help me achieve a better wrist turn?
