Q: If im getting blisters on my fingers from drumming does that mean I'm holding my sticks wrong or does it just mean I have to drum more?
A: no, it just means you haven't played that much in a while. first day back after not playing for a while, just wear some bandaids on those spots. after a few days your skin will toughen up just fine and you won't need the bandaids. it's the same thing that happens to your fingertips when playing guitar/bass.
