I'm always finding new blisters on my hands. How should you deal with this HUGE blister problem?
I used to get blisters all the time when I first started out. Now my hands are a giant callus.
I just sucked it up and occasionally put duct tape over some
DUCT TAPE
Yeah, is that bad?
It came in handy whenever we had to do something with hand percussion
Man, I don't know. Can that be right? Blisters? From playing the drums?
I remember when I was starting out that would happen to me but it was because I wasn't playing right.
Have you checked your grip? Are you gripping too tightly?
I don't know. It sounds painful. I guess you're just going to have to tape up your hands, or something.
You're not allergic to anything are you?
No, I'm not. I'm putting bandaids on my hands right now. It's working out kind of good on my fingers, but not my hands. In all the time I've been playing, I haven't gotten blisters that much...
Actually, I think I know what happened. I went on vacation for a long time, and then started playing when I came back. Going from not playing to playing for hours a day formed the blisters. Am I right?

I think I'm gripping too tight. I use the american grip.
The American grip? What the hell is that?
Light enough not to let is fly away, and gently enough not to hurt it at all.
American grip is a combination the French & German grips. Its a comfortable matched grip with the palms at a 45% angle.
.And what's with the sneaky invisible mode Abe?..
