Drumming-related Injuries

[drummerboy827]

[rhanen28]

masakit na likod dulot ng pagrerearrange ng tambol

[vdonati_fan]

same as peeves, nabitawan ko yung brass snare ko (note, medyo mabigat) i made a split second decision, imbis na hayaan kong bumagsak sa floor, pinangsalo ko yung left foot ko (it still hit the floor since i don't have opposable toes, pero mas softer na. parang it rolled down my foot na lang) astig diba? hehehe...

and, since then hindi na ata siya masyado gumaling kasi medyo sumasakit na siya pag tuloy-tuloy yung left foot ko sa hi-hats.

lesson learned = love your drums until it hurts.

ndi bale nang masakatan, wag lang masiraan...

while performing ,nahulog ako sa stage dahil sa sobrang excitement

[atong_damuho]

sa drum kit.
= paltos.
= tumama ung daliri sa rim
= nasugat dahil sa cymbals


sa pep band:
- paltos na napaltos na mapapaltusan pa ulit(mahina ang 2 sa isang kamay)
- muscle aches sa parehong braso.
- back aches (dahil sa posisyon ng katawan sa pagpalo ng bass)
- pasa sa parehong binti malapit sa groin. (kapag walang stand at nakastrap ang steel snare sayo)
- tumama ang daliri mo sa claw ng bass drum.
- panginginig ng kamay dahil sa tuloytuloy na pagpalo ng malakas.

paltos sa daliri! yun din madalas mangyari sa akin eh. how do you deal with it?

[boypalo]

di talaga maiwasan e. minsan nga natutuklap pa yung balat e. subukan mo mag gloves kung komportable ka. o kaya habang tumutugtog adjust mo yung hawak mo every now and then para hindi sa isang part lagi tumatama yung sticks

[numberfortyone]

siguro nga normal yun for hard hitters. i get blisters on 3 fingers in one hand. hassle nga yun minsan natuklap yung balat but still had to continue playing. aray!!! 

[boypalo]

oo naranasan ko na yun. 1st song palang natuklap agad yung balat. pero nung nangyari yun, nung mga sumunod extra careful na ko kasi ansakit talaga e. saka nagtry ako mag gloves pero since yung gloves ko e labas yung dulo ng daliri, hindi nga nagpaltos yung dati pero iba naman ang tinamaan. wala din.hehe

CTS or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is something to be concerned about. I have come across several musicians suffering from this that needed to rest from instrument playing.

thanks mod for merging! 

does that mean you can't play anymore when you get CTS? hassle siguro when you get it from a non-drumming activity   

how can we avoid CTS from playing?

[deej]

pinag rest ako nang doctor from playing the drums for 6 months nung nagkaroon ako nang signs that may be leading to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...buti na lang this happend during my college days...

[tranquildomain]

I no longer get any blisters due to playing now, pag nag kakapaltos parang iniisip ko wrong grip para sakin kasi sobrang gigil sa grip?

And dun sa post ni Akira

someone said before here in the forums (not sure who) that carbosticks helps lessen the chance of getting a carpal tunnel, lessens vibration kasi

what do you think guys?

[kibohead]

basically, when you talk about TCS, it is pften related to the compression of the median nerve on the wrist...i suppose proper technique would prevent us drummers on having this. But on worse case, surgery is required.
If not treated, could lead to muscle weakness and paralysis of the said extremity.

When we pound our drum, it is the wrist that accepts the rebound force vibrated to the upper extremities...To cut the chase, proper holding of sticks and positioning would not only preserve our body but also enhance our playing.

About carbosticks...I haven't seen a study about this, but based on theory, TCS is acquired through compression and not vibration.
