What is the best hand grip for holding drum sticks, is there a grip that you all have found to be more effective?

I think that from an anatomical point of view, your wrist move more naturally when playing matched grip. Now there are three forms of match grip: german, french and american. I have found that the german matched grip is most natural.

It depends on your background in drumming.  I know that I am equally proficient with Matched (German/American) as well as the Traditional Grips.  

I am equally proficient with both based on the fact that I participated in the marching band playing the snare drums for 8y.

Dave's DVD is going to be biased (Traditional Grip), instead of working with Matched and Traditional, and giving the pros/cons of each.
