Or just put something to hold the button down, and then you'll only need to pull the stick up so start sliding

Clutch kick and more power eliminates the ebrake.

Using the e-brake helps to maintain a drift and keep it under control when going through long sweeping turns and keeping the car sideways. Using the ebrake should be the first thing you learn when you want to learn how to drift anyways.

if your just learning you can just power over, e-brake usage is more for keepin an angle at a higher speed slide
