Trying to learn traditional grip. Its a little frustrating, just doing it on the pad first hopefully one day I'll take it to the kit. Has anyone tried to make the switch? How long before you got comfortable and it seems like I would have to move my drums and cymbals around to play trad comfortable. Switching back and forth that seems inconvieniet, has that been a problem for anyone? Thanks!
