Being a drummer is dangerous (pics)
 

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.

Ever try those skin tight gloves?

Yup, I've tried the Easton Ahead drum gloves, golf gloves and batting gloves, they just get holes in them after a few hours. :helpme

looks painful

dip your hands in vinegar and limejuice....it will help them heal faster

this is a good idea.. you need to protect those hands if you want to keep drumming sweety :-))

It burns. :)

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.:Graucho

ouch!!

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???

geezus... who would of thought drumming would of been so harmful...

Sometimes I use sports tape, that works good. :glugglug

I think your hitting it hard.

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.

I use Pro Mark 5A and Easton Ahead 5B. :GFYBand

Check out Vinnie Paul's hands after a Pantera show lol..

Looks like time to switch sticks. Shoot for these bad boys:

I use them and I've never dealt with those kind of wounds. My main bruises and calouses come from hand percission. I'm pretty rouch on my congas. :thumbsup

cmere so i can give ya a kiss:)

I did have 2 pair of these, but I broke all but this one. :helpme

Awwww, will you kiss my bloody hands? :winkwink:


Why aren't you on ICQ, I am sad when you're gone.

God Damn!!!:eek2

what kind of rolex is that?

The one in the pic is a GMT Master.

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

rock the fuck on :drinkup

Buy a new pair of sticks and your problems are solved..

Samuel

ouch

drums.... riiiiight.

Take up classical music. Less painfull... :winkwink:

Looks painfull, and its the reason I dont play the drums anymore

damn... ouch man!

No pain, no game right? :winkwink:

I suggest you cleanse those wounds with some salt :1orglaugh

Seriously though, its so easy to fuck your hands up playing instruments like guitar, I've done it several times without thinking.

ouch :helpme

Those look more like extreme jerking off calluses to me. :Graucho :1orglaugh

Need to toughen up them ladyboy hands! :thumbsup

i play drums and never suffered the same kind of mutliation that you seem to be experiencing, must be the difference in music.

Chalk your hands.

omg, drummer wounds !!

Thats kinda gross.
Who would have thought drumming would be so painful? Certainly not me.

Ouch...hope it heals up fast

I am a reverse drummer, been there, done that...

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

Ouch :glugglug

Wow that does look painful! Brings me back to my musical injury days :GFYBand
