Traditional grip


Traditional grip is more difficult to develop an initial technique with, mainly because both hands are required to learn completely different grips in fact. Although surprisingly enough some people find it easier..
   For a right handed player, your right hand holds the stick in Matched fashion, while your left uses the cross stick grip, which when combined give us traditional.  I'm unsure of the actual history behind this approach, although I believe it originated from marching band percussionists, and then migrated to drum set performers with the evolution of the modern drum set.
