I am looking for some help!

Any tips you have regarding technique would be helpful. I start out really good, but I keep doing the butterfly (all arm) or the caveman (too much wrist and I club the drum). What can I do to right these?

Also, my back is sore already and it's only been a four hour audition process on bass one. Any tips?

And any advice or tips on anything other than those problems would be accepted with open arms as well!

i used to play 1st bass 2 years ago and the back pains go away after wearing the drum for a while also. you might want to play in front of a mirror to look at your stick angles. this helps me for stick heights on snare

Oh wait, I know the ultimate answer to those questions...
