Ok, previous experience playing percussion (marching band) so i know how to properly hold sticks, even traditional. I'm still having troubles with my wrist hurting, i've adjusted the height of the pads, the strength of my hit (it was a pow now it's a dink) please help me cause i hear that drumming can lead to carpol tunnel (sp?) so thanks in advanced. |

I dunno. Ill do fine until its a song with a nonstop beat on my right hand.
then my hand starts to hurt. Plus since its a game you tend to hit it harder hoping itll register better.
specially when you start missing a bunch. then I hold it like a caveman and whack on it.
yet left hand is fine. |

It's hard to say. I've been playing drums (not professionally or anything) for 14 years and while I can feel the start of fatigue setting in after long, fast sections, my hand never actually hurts as a result of playing.
It may be that you should get some anti-vibe sticks. The stiff rubber pads actually cause a lot of vibration to travel down the sticks, with the only thing to absorb it being your hands. Anti-vibe sticks are built with this in mind and have rubber butt-plugs built in which take the stress off your hands. |

i would suggest doing the above. I play drumset and play drums for school, and then going to RB is a huge difference and does tend to hurt.
Im thinkin it is because of the lack of rebound, makin you required to do more work, but thats just my thoughts. |

For me it seems like the sticks are too small and slippery, making my hand use a lot more muscle to maintain a solid grip. _________________

Nod. Im looking into them gum rubber pads to add rebound and them some of them special stix.
I wanna be able to hit the yellow and have it bounce back and whack me in the forehead. |
