Sorry if this is already a topic; I couldn't find anything on it.

I was just wondering how many of you twirl your sticks while playing. I know some drummers love it, and some completely disregard it because they think it's cheesy. Personally I love it, and would like to get better at it.

I was wondering if most of you use the real twirl or the fake twirl, and is there any videos online to watch that would be helpful in illustrating the real twirl?

Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks to my fellow drummers.

Nah, I think people do it. I personally suck at twirling though... =/ I'm better with swords and using one hand OR two....
