Quick drumming/stick question...

I've been practicing traditional grip, and some people say to keep the forefinger against the thumb, and others say to keep the first two fingers out of the way of the stick when striking. Both techniques work but have a very different feel. Which one should I practice with?

I would like to second this. I learned so much from the Groove Essentials 2.0 video. And Tommy is just such a fun guy.
