Product Ref: 26141
Play Harder And Faster For Longer
Gig Grips are patented, specially designed and formulated flexible straps that fit over any drumstick to form flexible loops. You simply slip a loop over any finger (or thumb for a trad grip) and you can play for hours with more consistent power and performance, without any fear of slipping sticks!
Fits Any Finger, Any Drumstick
Developed with professional drummers, Gig Grips are fully adjustable for position on the drumstick, size of finger and playing style meaning they are suitable for anyone. They are already used by pro drummers at concerts, on tour, TV performances and recording sessions, any time when performance really counts.
Highly flexible, Gig Grips are adjustable for your own, personal sweet spot. You can alter their position to find the correct balance point for your own play style and tightness. Some drummers have even started using them flat against the stick for extra palm grip. Experiment to find your own preferred mix.
The Cool Solution To Stick Slippage
Gig Grips are the latest drum accessory proven to reduce sweat build up and slippage at even the hottest of gigs. They allow air to circulate the palms as you begin to relax your grip, they dont grip your finger - just the stick! As Modern Drummer Magazine commented, an obvious benefit of the Gig Grips is that, when the stick doesn't slip forward as you play, your grip remains right on the sweet spot of the stick keeping you sounding better for longer.
Free Up Your Drumming
Gig Grips won't come between you and your drumsticks. The unobtrusive nature of Gig Grips means you hardly notice them. You're still gripping the wood of your favourite drumsticks and feeling the beat, unlike when using older solutions such as clumsy gloves, wraps and tape. When you're not worrying about slipping or dropping your sticks you can play for longer with a more relaxed, natural grip and focus solely on musicality rather than technique.
Proven to Prevent Injury
Research suggests that 8 out of 10 drummers can suffer from injury at some point in their career, often caused by over-gripping of the sticks. Gig Grips encourage a lighter, more natural, and relaxed grip, in essence they do some of the work for you. Avoiding the 'death grip', which some drummers are forced to adopt to prevent flying sticks, lessens fatigue, tension and injury.
Many drummers who have suffered with injuries now use Gig Grips as an aid, most notably, legendary Drummer Phil Collins, who relied on Gig Grips to maintain his grip when drumming for Prince Charles with Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall.
Save Money With Gig Grips
Gig grips can also increase the life of your drumsticks allowing you to buy less! Preventing sticks from random rotation, you can purposefully rotate the stick as wear or damage occurs making breakage less likely.
The elegant, straightforward design and the high-tech, smooth, no-irritation material combine to produce a new drumming accessory that really makes a difference. Is it time you discovered Gig Grips?
"I played solidly for over an hour using the Gig Grips and they really helped in keeping the stick in the right position in the hand and prevented any slipping...I could loosen my grip for some finger snapping without fear of dropping the stick. A neat, low-cost solution!"
Drummer Magazine"Allowing drummers to play with a relaxed grip, with the freedom to focus on musicality instead of technique, is no small feat. Other benefits, like elongating the life of your drumsticks, are icing on the cake!"
