This is on (I believe) a military drummer, tattooed by Kou at Scratch Addiction in Tokyo, Japan.

xroryx what is that supposed to mean?
Anyway, that’s a cool tattoo, i dig it. Maybe it’s my inner drummer that it appeals to
That is pure NARD (National Association of Rudimental Drummers). The only organization that could legitimately name something the “Flam Paradiddle Diddle”. Seriously.

^haha
I really like it, it’s original.
Left handed as well? I’m probably wrong though.
ant yeah you are wrong its the correct grip for right handed
awesome!
I wonder when hes going to get the drum added, or is it like playing the air guitar:)
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Best. tattoo. ever.
although the grip on the right hand is technically a little off…
I agree with AaronB, the left hand should be gripping the stick almost halfway up the stick. /nerding out (drumline does that to you).
I think this happens to be one of my favorite tattoos..of all times. mainly because i am a big fan of the drums…
There’s tons of variations on traditional grip (and match, for that matter) and that one is hardly anything like the one I use XD
Totally awesome idea though, and I am jealous. haha.
Also I wouldn’t add a drum.
that’s really lovely.
dont they call that the jazz grip?
vraiment bien pour les batteurs!
#14: Kay, “jazz grip” is a slang term. Traditional and matched grips are the two….well… traditional terms.
#3; the “Flam Paradiddle Diddle” still always makes me giggle. I wish I had the room for my kit in my new place. =(
What a great tattoo…
What ever happened to the bloke with drumsticks tattooed up his forearms?
They were snazzy too…
Hell, ModBlog should just have a ‘Music’ section
