Mallet Grip for High School Percussionists from the PAS Classroom with Michael Hamm

Achieving the correct mallet grip is essential for all keyboard percussionists — so when you are teaching this to your music students, it’s a good time to pay attention to the nuances. Learn a fun technique for communicating proper grip to your high school students in this #PASClassroom video from Michael Hamm.

PAS Classroom is a video series focused on quick and valuable tips and tricks for percussionists, drummers, music students, and (in particular) music educators. Learn techniques and strategies you can take back to your percussion classroom or performance in under three minutes. PAS Classroom is created and produced by the Education Committee of the Percussive Arts Society.

Michael Hamm is a member of the PAS Education Committee and a percussion director, music educator, and individual instructor. He currently teaches at Monticello Elementary School in Ohio. Michael also serves as the percussion representative on the Mid-East Performance Association (MEPA) Board of Directors.
