I wrapped up a new pair of sticks with this tape today, and found it to be a little sticky. I've bought the Vater tape before and loved it, they didn't have the black Vater tape in stock, I had to settle for this.

If you can, get the Vater tape, but if not, there's nothing wrong with settling for this.

I got this today and it works great. Just start at the bottom of the stick and roll up diagonaly, then roll the sticker around the end. My sticks used to slip out of my hands when playing, but now they don

After destroying a pair of those zildjian gloves in short order, I tried that gauze-lookin grip tape stuff, which either gets all shredded after a short time and you have to re apply, or it slides off you're left holding an empty grip tape noodle with no stick in it...This Pro-Mark Stick Rapp is genius. It's just like that rubber stuff that they wrap the bats with at the batting cage. I disagree that it doesn't stay on well. You just have to wrap it tight. The trick is to make the overlap just under half (see the way the sticks are wrapped in the picture for Vater stick wrap--which by the looks is identical to Pro mark's product)and it will stay on just fine. Save that that gauze-stuff for wrapping your fingers a'la Lars.

This stuff is fantastic. If you put it on right (which is easy to do), it won't budge a bit. It will also keep the sticks in your hands, great if you like light sticks. It also cushions your fingers, so you can play for hours without getting any blisters. Plus it looks totally stylin'.

this is some of the best stick grip i've ever had, its great, never falls off, and dosn't fall out of even my hands! usually when i play, the sticks fly out of my hand when i drum, but even when i play with 7A sticks, i get a good grip.
