I would like to make one comment though as related to your age.
You need to be sure your work hard for long periods of time if you intend to do more than just a song or two on the internet.
( and you may already )

The reason I mention this is we had a talented young lady audition with us before we picked up Steve-o.
She played well, and even grooved well with our original material she had never heard before. Yet she lacked the physical stamina to pull off a couple hours of pretty fast tunes. As well as loosing some skin off her fingers trying to keep up.

May not be an issue for you ... but grandpa just had to bring it up. 8)


haha, thank you for the advice.
and yes, i do intend on doing more cover videos. when i play, i play for hours on end, usually from 2 and a half to 4 hours when i play. and there have been times where i've played for 6 hours straight, with a (bathroom break in between) haha.

every time i play i get more calluses and lose a lot of skin... any suggestions, besides wearing gloves? cause that doesn't always seem to work.
thanks man!


I was a drummer in most bands I played in, and I practiced all the time. Anyway, I used to lose skin on my index fingers. Wrap up the areas that get affected with waterproof adhesive tape. You'll find that some stick better than others. Of course, never put tape on a fresh, open wound. :wink:


ohhhh, i'll try this! sounds good!
thank you :)

Dale Crover always seems to be wearing gardening gloves when he plays. Not sure if that's the norm or if there's a standard that professionals use. I kinda always thought drummers wore fingerless leather ones.

thank you for the advice! i wear fingerless like winter gloves when i play... but i almost always still get calluses :/ i think i'm going to try the waterproof tape idea.

The Jow works best in my opinion if you can get some real Jow.
( like everything else there are shysters selling sh*t on the net to the unwary)

A little on you hands and allow to dry a couple times daily and before you play will preserve the callous and allow it to stay pliable as well.


This is good stuff. Will also heal deep bruising in 1/2 the time.
Most people have never even heard of it but the TCM doctors have been using it for thousands of years.

:wink:



hmm... sounds interesting haha. i'll research it..
thanks !

Most of the " research " and information out there is sketchy. And like all things "non western" in the realm of medicine gets overlooked.

Don't expect you to take my word for it as you don't know me from Adam.
BUT ... I've been using / testing this stuff for better than 20 years in full contact martial arts schools. Many different formulations, even some original traditional formulations that are now illegal due to content.

The herbs were mixed with rice alcohol in a large jar and buried for years to age.
Some of the modern formulations work OK.
But they don't have crap on the real thing ... which, by the way is almost impossible to obtain anymore. :(

ok so in my experiences of getting paid to go to shows, I've seen a few drummers wear gloves, but for the most part its just bare paws and grit, and good luck not getting "man" hands while doing it
