Don't know of any websites, but I watched a drum video (can't remember the name though) borrowed from the Esplanade library and the fella taught different ways of spinning sticks for showmanship. Kinda interesting. It's a video tape. Not a whole lot of drum videos there so you should be able to find it if you read the synopsis at the back of the tapes. If you see any of the video synopsis mentioning about showmanship, then that's the one.

Either that, or you can just watch the movie That Thing You Do. The drummer in the movie spins his sticks too lol. Just observe and follow :wink:

Hope this helps a little

If I'm not wrong, I think the military band movie you are talking about is called Drumline.

Oh haha! Drumline Rocks! But i didn't watch the whole show. Randomly switched channels and saw it on starmovies! Pro snare player 8)

I started by pen spinning. Once you're pretty good at pen spinning, it'll be a hell lot easier spinning drumsticks.

i think start spiining drumsticks...pen is too small..don't have so much momentum...drumsticks are heavier and easier in my opinion.
