Pro Mark SRBLA Stick Rapp Drumstick Wrap - Black

a bit expensive for grip tape

I am what could be classed as an 'enthusiastic novice' in the drumming world. Unfortunately, I'm also of a certain age where my grip isn't really what it once was......Whilst playing my drums, I had become aware that I was subconsciously shifting my grip while holding my sticks, resulting in tense fingers, and ever increasing grip loss where one or other of the sticks would sail off across the room.I am a natural skeptic, and put off buying these stick wraps, as I incorrectly viewed them as a bit of a gimmick.Fast forward a couple of weeks, I have purchased two different styles of wrap, got them on my sticks, and the difference is very noticeable.From my point of view, my grip is far better than previous, (no flying sticks....!), I can now grip the sticks far looser than ever before, which obviously makes moving around the kit more controlled, and they haven't made any negative difference to how the sticks handle.So, it's a big YES from me. They're ace.. .!

Took us a couple or three attempts and a youtube guide to get tape on correctly

If you have very loose grip like myself these really do the trick in counteracting butter fingers. The only problem I have is really to do with its cosmetics as once you've played the white rapps for while they start to show the dirt they've picked up from your hands and in my case the butt end of the rapper went a dark grey and faded to white towards the upper end of the rapp

Praise the Lords of Cobol for this wonderful thing. I am a wussy old session player, thrown into panic when asked to play a relentless hour gig. These wraps helped me keep my relaxed grip and stay quick and intense for a constant hour without a single stick drop.

I've used this brand of stick wrap several times with no Issues. For both sets of stick wrap received in this order, they completely wore through to the fibres after 5 mins of use, making the sticks even harder to grip than without tape. Don't know if this is a supply or quality issue but they were useless.

Absolute rubbish began to fray after a few minutes use as per the picture. Certainly won't be buying this product again..
