You want the center of your stick just above your index finger forefinger, or for some of you, pointer finger. This allows you to keep the balance of the stick centered, which in turn allows gravity to do most of the work for you. Give the stick a light push with your index finger. As the stick is passing your thumb, keep your index finger in the same exact placement and allow all of your other fingers to move out of the way. This will allow your stick to make the turn without any outside forces your other three fingers interfering.
Allow the stick to fall over your pointer finger and place your middle finger onto the stick. If done correctly, your stick should be between your index finger and your middle finger with the head pointing towards the floor. You want the movement to be fluid and, above all, correct. All mistakes will eventually translate into muscle memory, and in turn your stick twirling will look rudimentary and childish even at its best. Use your index finger to push the stick in between your middle finger and ring finger with the tip facing the ceiling, and then let it fall between your ring finger and pinky finger with the tip facing the floor once again.
As you alternate your fingers and the drumstick is moving back and forth like a pendulum, slightly roll your wrist to get some fluidity to the movement of the stick. As the stick spins, begin making a circular, figure eight motion with your fingers. As you continue to spin the stick, it will naturally slide down to the end of the stick due to gravity.
Because of this, you will have to eventually readjust the positioning of the stick. Method 2. Hold the stick in matched grip position. Matched grip position is the starting position in which you hold your drumsticks. Grip the stick by hooking your pointer finger around the stick, and grasping the stick with the pad of your thumb. Then wrap your other three fingers around the drumstick. The drumstick should be gently but securely resting in the palm of your hand. Position your hand vertically.
Normally when drumming, your hands and sticks are in a horizontal position. Pinch the stick and release your other fingers. Remain holding the drumstick with your pointer finger and thumb. Put your middle, ring, and pinky fingers behind the stick while still keeping the drumstick vertical. Spin the drumstick backward. With your three fingers behind the drumstick, push the bottom the drumstick forward so the top of the stick comes toward you.
As the drumstick begins to spin, release your thumb from the stick and allow the stick to spin over your pointer finger. As the stick finishes spinning around your pointer finger, release your middle finger from the stick, and the drumstick will then finish spinning around your pointer finger.
Catch the drumstick. The stick will make one full rotation until it is back in its starting position. As the stick comes back to its starting position, catch it using all of you fingers and thumb. Once back in the starting position, you can continue to spin the stick. Method 3. Position the drumstick between your pointer and middle finger. Place the middle of the drumstick in between your index and middle finger. Spin the drumstick by moving your pointer finger away from you and moving your middle finger toward you.
As you do this first spin between your index and middle finger, relax your ring and pinky finger so they can be pulled away and lower than your two spinning fingers.
This will prevent the stick from hitting those fingers as you execute the first spin. Hook your ring finger. As the drumstick spins and travels around your middle finger, hook your ring finger onto the back of the stick, and allow your pointer finger to relax and straighten out. Just like you moved your pointer finger away from you and moved your middle finger toward you to get the drumstick to spin, you are going to do the same movement with your middle and ring finger.
Move your middle finger away from you and move your ring finger toward you. This will cause the stick in between your two fingers to continue spinning. Hook your pinky finger. As the drumstick spins around your ring finger, hook your pinky finger behind the stick, and allow your middle finger to relax and lay flat. From this position, you can again, move your ring finger back, away from you, and move your pinky finger toward you, causing the drumstick to continue spinning.
Transfer the stick from your pinky to your pointer finger. As the drumstick spins around your pinky finger, it will come back around to the front palm side of your hand. When it is on the palm side, tuck your pointer finger down. At this position, your pinky finger and pointer finger should be in front of the drumstick, while your middle and ring fingers should be behind the drumstick.
As you move your pointer finger to be in front of the drumstick, slowly release your pinky and ring finger so the only two fingers touching the drumstick are your pointer finger which is in front of the stick and your middle finger which is behind the stick.
Method 4. Hold the stick with an open hand. Hold open your hand, palm facing up, and position the middle of the stick horizontally in the middle of your hand.
Spin the drumstick. Bring your wrist back, as if you are going to throw the drumstick away from you. For most first-time drumstick twirlers, learning how to spin a drumstick just takes time.
