Even the most-experienced professional drummers can develop complications.
On one of the hottest, most-humid evenings this summer, Aaron Hetherington performed non-stop with The Suburbans for over two hours.
It was brutal, and he never missed a beat.
Intense playing, perspiration, and high humidity can cause drummers to grip their sticks differently as they attempt to maintain a secure, yet relaxed grip. This can increase friction and discomfort.
Drummers also tape on their hands in instances like this.
