I play country music and use them at times. I don't think my technique changes that much if any when I use them.
Uh-oh.I wore gloves for years. Started in High School and keep up with it really until the last 10 years or so. I still use them when doing gigs with Street Drum Corps, but mainly because they help absorb some shock from the obscene things we are playing on. (Kegs, Oil Drums, Barrels). That's also why we use Ahead drumsticks.
When it comes to kit playing I prefer to feel the stick against my stick.
HAHAHAHAHA Oops!Uh-oh.
Poop in his shoe. Its Bonham approved (or so I heard).It was worth it becuse at the end her boss looked at me and just smiled and told me how prooud he was and how tough I was. But it doens't matter because I don't even respect him.
I like that..."When I'm engaged in labor."I don't wear gloves while drumming, but I do use AHEAD Drum Gloves for transporting, setting up, and breaking down gear. They're very well constructed and protect my hands admirably when I'm engaged in labor.
My personal objection to drumming with gloves is that they dull my sense of feel somewhat. A gloved hand simply doesn't receive feedback from the stick in the same fashion. But some players value the shock-absorption properties of gloves, citing that gloved hands are exposed to fewer impact forces. That's not a concern in my case. I'm happy to be a gloveless drummer.
Consider it a royalty-free utterance, ToneT.I like that..."When I'm engaged in labor."
With your blessing, can I utilize that sometime?
Thank you, Sir!Consider it a royalty-free utterance, ToneT.
An abundance of it, to be sure. I'll elaborate soon.Hope that new snare is bringing you joy!
