I was incredibly amazed by one part in the '95 show the cavaliers put on.
If you can view this...
*Site no longer exists*

My question is... What kind of sticking is that where they do some kind of multiple-way sticking and make it sound like a roll? how do they do that rolling thing while twirling the stick! it goes too fast, so Im curious as to how it's done so i can try doing it too.

It's called the "claw." Do a search and you'll find stuff on it.

Man for me.. I just grabbed the stick pretty close to me middle and acted like I was shaking out my hand. (Like when you write for a long time and your hand hurts) My best tip is to stay loose.

Extend your arm straight out keeping your arm relaxed. Your hand should be around the 2 or 3 o'clock position to your drum, and as aznpride said, the stick is held in the middle (or pretty close to it depending on stick length/balance).

Leading up to the claw in the '95 show we choked up on the right stick when we pushed to the edge and back to prep for the claw and played the part right before with our hands already in position.

I definetely could not see the snareline doing that in the video you posted. Of course, I don't really know what the Claw looks like anyway.

Too bad you guys cant see the "instructional video" that Scott did on the casey claw in Indianapolis. He did it for Josh and I while Josh was recording it
