The other bone is held fairly loosely with the ring finger. Bend your wrist back slightly, and keep it supple and fluid. Want more grip help?

My Grip |

To play three rapid clicks with one movement, see the animation to the left. Start like a tap, but then allow your hand to continue towards your body, giving a little "whip" at the top just like you do at the bottom for a single tap. Look here for more triplet help. Many patterns can be played with just single taps and triplets. I'll be adding more techniques and pattern suggestions to this page occasionally. |
