Traditional grip
The difference is the grip on the left hand, where the stick clipped to be placed between the thumb and middle finger and ring finger. Thumb whose role is to encourage the stick.

1840 the newly discovered drumset (snare, bass and tom-tom) where three drums played by one person. Because the traditional grip is a hereditary habit which originated from marching, then it is also used traditional grip on the drumset. Then again, this practice continues with the end in mid-1960, Ringo Starr (drummer of The Beatles) took a step forward by holding the stick at the same position (left hand as right hand), so as a person who holds two hammers.
