Steve Nelson w/ Dave Holland Big Band live at Newport Jazz Fest 2008

Unfortunately there is no vibe solo but the music is cooking nonetheless. Nelson's comping is superb. At about 3:00 they flash on Steve and it looks like he is using Mainieri style grip. Then about 40 seconds later they show him again and it looks like he has the mallet between ring and middle fingers. Are my eyes playing tricks on me or did he switch?
