i'm against glove's....not realy "against" but i dont think na maganda sya gamitin...
you dont feel the stick's parang pag kamay lang may interaction kayo ng stick
siguro ung mga kalyo and paltos dipende nalang sa grip mo sa stick.......
for me kung kaylangan magka paltos para matuto tira lang!
ung drumr ng spongcola lagi ba talaga naka glove's un?
kamuka nya din ung nag revive ng SHE-BANGS..ung sa american idol...he he
tumapak.. kamukha niya si Wliiam Hung.. hehe
Sorry i could not help not reply to the above comment, so please bear with me (once in a blue moon lang naman ito).
I dont know the guy and i dont have the habit of defending strangers pero as a drummer and a member of this forum, i try to promote cammaraderie amongst us in my own simple way. In this regard, kawawa naman yung spongecola drummer, wala naman siguro nagawang masama yun ah. he could be a forumer or lurker and if i would put myself in his position i would probably find such a comment a bit antagonising, insulting, and would probably have a negative impression of the 'culture' in this forum. imbis na dumami ang mga drummers to share knowledge and experiences with, ma-tu-turn off lang.
this is just my piece of mind.
tulungan, samahan and supportahan lang tayo dito to one another.
anyway, back to topic: I prefer no gloves pero minsan i resort to em when I have lots of blisters from driving, weighlifting and rockclimbing. no choice eh, i cant resist the urge to play drums despite blisters.
