Does anyone have any good tips to help stop drummers from getting blisters?

I guess you could put tape on your sticks like some drummers do ?

just keep playing. Eventually the skin on you hands will toughen up and you wont get blisters anymore.
It might be painful, but trust me, it works!!

Yeah i would get a lot of blisters when we went from praticising once a week to 5 times a week...  I had blisters on blisters! This is really gross, but its best to pop them [they will probably pop themselves if you keep playing on them anyway] and dont peel the skin off and eat it like some gross boys do, just leave it there and it will form the start of a lovely calis [sp]. Once you have calises [sp] you will find it a lot easier. In the interim you can put bandaids on them [not the normal kind] those elastoplast or whatever they're called. But once the blister has popped try and play on them otherwise the skin will heal and your just back to where you started. |
