Tape your finger(s) not your sticks. I almost always have some nasty blister during and after a performance. Not with this tape though. I'll never leave home without it now.

This tape is killer. I never put tape on my sticks, if I break one, I'm out the tape. I used to wrap my fingers in sport tape but It wasn't that flexible. This stuff isn't sticky, its like gauze, and it does bend with your fingers without breaking or coming loose. If your playing long enough to get blisters, buy this. I just finished a 3 hour set. I don't have a mark on me.

I wasn't expecting much. But it is so cheap, I figured why not.

I have been using the Ahead grip tape for some time, which I love, however the stuff is expensive after a while. For an active gigging musician, it gets expensive when you go through at least a pair of sticks per weekend.

The Vater tape is very thin compared to Ahead grip tape, similar to a medical tape. However, its very easy to apply and is quite comfortable. Just secure the top end with a piece of electrical tape and you are good to go. I played two gigs so far and didn't drop a single stick and had no problems. The grip tape held up well and you can't beat the price. If you are a drummer on a budget, definitely give this a try.

As good as Ahead grip tape? No. Better than a bare stick? Yes. A great bang for your buck.

This is great at first, but the fabric starts to spread apart as you play exposing the sticky backing. The sticky stuff gets all over your hands. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

This is pretty much colored medical gauze, which is why it doesn't stick onto your drumsticks. Gauze however, stays on your skin VERY well, plus you can wrap it as tight as you want, as much as you want. Try using it as finger tape, just wrap it around your fingers and part of the palm of your hand. I am going to purchase some myself and use it that way
