Hi, I am a Fellow drummer and have the same problem. the only difference is I have been a drummer for about 5 years and i know im holding the stick correctly for in my years of practice i have had instruction on how to improve my percussive abilities and that problem was corrected long ago. im afraid i am developing osteoarthritis. all i can do for now is take some alieve and keep going

Thanks! Pic please? by: Anonymous
Hey Lynne, I greatly appreciate your answer! Thanks a lot for it I'm a little confused as to hold it, I'm bad at understanding your text sorry lol. Is there anyway you could find a picture of someone holding a drumstick the proper way? Thanks a lot as always!
ANSWER

I don't have a pic, but let me put it another way:
The knuckles between your hand and your fingers should be facing the ceiling, not the wall.
