i sometimes have nervous poop urges before the gig. they go away as soon as i start playing.

I agree that clean hands make for a good grip. A "clean" grip, if you will. Pleased

In the dry winter months, i will sometimes lotion up my hands before leaving home for the gig. My hands sometimes get so dry that the sticks slide around in my grip.

I always wash my hands before I play, even when I practise in my house. I just prefer clean hands when holding the sticks, it feels much more comfortable than holding the stick with sweaty hands! And my hands are awful for sweating on the palm.

I only do if I was just doing something. If I was just sitting watching tv then no!. but if i was like shitting or doing something that causes my hands to get dirty or sweaty then yes!!!

I will wash them before, at the set break and before I touch cymbals or break down. if you have clean hands your cymbals don't get so dirty.

I sweat like a pig, so I change sticks every few songs.


Clean hands just feel better.

I like to shower too during long practices, take a break shower and eat. I feel new and can go for much longer.

Yeah I'm a heavy sweater as well - I use the Pro Mark 'Natural' sticks when rehearsing or gigging and never let go of them.
For excercising on pads etc, normal lacquered sticks I find are fine.

I keep a beer bar towel with me when gigging and thoroughly dry my hands down after each song also.
