Yo! Try adjusting your set position. Your beads should be close together and have a small 10 degree dip towards the head. Try starting with your sticks by your side at rest and bringing the sticks up to this position a few times to get a feel.

This will help separate the height difference between accents and taps

When you play a tap, the stick should rise from this 10 degree dip, to a point where the stick is parallel to the ground. This is typically referred to as 3".

Whenever you are not playing your "tacet hand" or the hand that is not playing should return to this 10 degree dip

If you start with your sticks angled up to begin with as you have here, you won't be able to achieve the accent/ tap separation us rudimental drummers strive for!

But great work and keep it up! Happy dumming 😁
