matched, because its how i've learnt, but traditional looks amazing when you watch someone use it if you ask me

I noticed a post earlier where the old argument about traditional utilizing fewer muscles was brought up. That may be true, but the muscles it uses are much larger.
I play matched most of the time simply because it's what I'm used to. I started my percussion training on tympani and mallets, as well as snare drum. I'm familiar with all the variations on matched grip (french, german, american). I like playing traditional for jazz, but my rudimental playing is a million times cleaner with matched.

mostly matched in french grip, although i do use trad for some jazz (not much). i learnt matched when i started and never really switched.
