Eucalyptus Infused Hand Drumming Tape - Better than Drum Gloves for Drum Sets Sticks Percussion (1 Pack, Maroon)

I'm a newer stick drummer (not hand, to clarify - this says its for hand drumming and the TLDR is its amazing for stick drumming). A week ago I had a really long musical therapy session with some heavy 90's rock/grunge, a little metal, and ended up with some gnarly popped blisters on my right index finger and some smaller blisters on other fingers. I tried putting a Band-Aid on with some bandage tape over the top, and wore right through it (not to mention making a sticky mess on my sticks). I tried using "athletic tape," but it was too wide and rigid so I had to cut it into strips to get any flexibility in my fingers. It held okay at first, but quickly began to peel away after about 15-20 minutes of drumming. When I got the Eucatape, I opened it up and was impressed by the smell, for some reason I expected it to smell more like Eucalyptus and glue or plastic, but it just smells like clean Eucalyptus. I had a job interview I had to be to and my finger was still all chewed up looking, so I did a quick wrap. The tape is flexible, and even though it was very obvious that my finger was "bandaged," it didn't look like an unsightly mess like the other tapes I'd used. After the job interview, I decided to unwind with an hour-long drum session. The tape continued to last, it didn't peel up or wear through. It even lasted through washing my hands after. I've been using it for an hour to hour and a half every day for four days now and I'm still loving it. Even with just a single layer of wrap, my fingers have been healing and the other problem areas on my hands look way better. It may say "hand drummers tape" on the side of the tin, but it's my new favorite stick drumming accessory.

My husband doesn’t play a gig without this now, keeps his fingers from splitting from playing the kajon at his gigs.

This tape is great for handrumming. It's a godsend when I'm doing a 3 hour gig on Cajon. The only draw back is that it makes me smell like an old lady on Ben Gay!

It’s so strange how well this stuff works. Was recommended to me and now I recommend it to others.

I play a cajon with my trio band and our show sets are at least 3 hrs - mix of playing styles, medium to heavy hand work - with cymbals! When we're not playing a show, our practices are somewhere between 4-5 hrs. My hands feel absolutely fine after every type of session! It's all about finding the best areas and # of wraps per finger or hand location that works best for you. This may be a bit expensive of a product, but it is QUALITY...and, you're protecting your HANDS, it's not worth it to skimp on that.

Smells wonderful and feels pretty good to wear! The residue is a little sticky but its tape man, what do you expect.

I use it and it smells good but while I drum the tape falls off my fingers. Better for hand usage, not fingers and not very durable.

I am a hand percussionist and I play for hours on end at times on congas, djembes and even dunduns. The wear and tear your hand can go through is not only annoying, but painful, and at times excruciating. This tape not only protects my hands when playing normally but heals my hands much faster even if I have to play on them. They have a 'minty' or 'mentholy' smell due to the eucalyptus but it isn't overbearingly strong. Comes in a nice tidy can that seals the tape inside when not being used and it's small and can be carried even in your pocket, though with a noticeable bulge. Overall excellent product that I has become an essential item for any gig or performance I may have.

Is ok
