RE: traditional grip
Honestly, you're on the wrong site. There aren't many if any trap players here, all of us are pretty much tek-hedz. I don't really know proper finger position for matched or traditional, I'm just a bassist, but good luck in your quest. I'd say find a local guy in your area whose playing you are into, and study under him. That supports him, and you at the same time, strengthening your local music community. Besides, fuck the looks. As long as the sound gets out, and you're not hurting yourself doing it, no way is wrong. The only reason for traditional stick position as far as I know was for playing a marching snare, long before people started playing trap. New rig, new technique. Good luck.
