Yeah, I was just practicing for less than five minutes before I noticed hot spots and stopped to avoid blisters. Figured that couldn't be normal, so a quick search brought me here.
Yea this is no good when you're playing metal, play a solid 2 hour set of hard rock and metal and your hands are trashed, especially if your a hard hitter and playing songs that require you to really put some balls into it to drive the song. Only solution is taping up fingers or drumming gloves
i got these calluses and blisters from practicing the traditional grip bc i was playing jazz, figured i go watch this vid to avoid it
Thanks for watching! Did it help?

Hope it helps!
I hold the stick loosely and the stick rubs on my pointer finger and after an hour of playing it was starting to hurt is that normal for a beginner?
Yep, you’ll build up calluses, just stick with it!
Thank you!!
You got it!
