Here's a few pictures of my hands. You might think it's from chronic masturbation, and although that could have contributed to it, playing Megadeth, Metallica, Judas Priest, etc. on the drums is why my hands are bloody. Rock and Roll.
I take it you haven't played in a while? Or was it a hell of a lot more than you are used to. I have a few friends that are drummers and there hands are calloused as all hell (they never bleed). They play every single day though.

Flea from RHCP did an interview back in the day. (Mother's Milk Tour) He said that he got deep "holes" from the blisters on his main bass thumb he would use. He would take crazy glue and put down in there and it would harden up making his thumb last a little longer for shows. Dunno what the repercussions of putting crazy glue in an open sore is but...hey...it might work.

Yup, I don't have any of my drums in Hawaii, so I can only play when I am home. Usually I get good calluses after a month or so, but it's only been 2 weeks.
Originally posted by basschick dude! i have played with drummers who play 8 - 10 hours a day 7 days a week, but your hands are the worst i've ever seen!
what kind of sticks are you using???
Check out Vinnie Paul's hands after a Pantera show lol..
damn man, i would get someone to look at your technique, and if you broke ahead sticks you are either playing too many rimshots with them or again, your technique.
i hit harder than anyone else ive seen and ive never broken aheads, i go though wood ones pretty quick though. it looks as if you have a grip too tight on the sticks, you shouldnt be tearing up your thumb in that position at all
I've been playing since i was 6 years old...my hands dont do that anymore unless i go a few weeks without playing. They are like oven mits with calouses
