Twirling a drum stick while playing is part of the showmanship skills that many drummers posses. Drumstick spinning is one way that a drummer can add some style to their playing during a show. Most other common instruments in a band are easily maneuverable. This lets other musicians such as guitarists and singers move around the stage or dance to the music. Because as a drummer you are stuck sitting down at your drum set, you are more limited in what movement is possible during a show. Spinning or twirling drumsticks while playing a groove is one way for a drummer to get more creative on their drum set and show off a little for the crowd. This video teaches you two different ways to spin your drumsticks.
