This was a great buy. I play congas, and was getting tired of using adhesive tape sticking to my fingers and anything else available. This tape does not use a sticky adhesive material. It is very easy to apply, and extremly comfortable.

As the other reviewer said, this tape doesn't use an adhesive substance or anything, it is just a rubbery mesh that only sticks to itself. Therefore, it doesn't stick to drumsticks all that well. Even if you wrap it really tight on the stick, it will still slide up and down the stick a little as you play. It's not that big a deal, it just may get annoying after a while. Other than the sliding, this tape is great. It gives a really good grip. Also, since the tape doesn't use an adhesive, it is reusable, though it may wear down after long use. The roll it comes with is also a great value. It seems there's enough tape to cover at least 20 sticks.

Overall a great value, if you don't mind a little sliding.

This is a good product...or so i thought...
before i say anything, i only play Rockband drums, i am by no means a professional drummer
when i got these, i put them on my drum sticks and they worked very well, i have problem of hitting a pad in the wrong way and the stick flies out of my hand. so they worked really well for a few hours, but after a while the fabric starts to fray and get loose around the stick. And then the fabric will rip entirely and the whole thing will fall apart wasting like a foot or two of the tape.

at least it was cheap and i bought a few rolls, so i can just reapply it as it wears out, because it does help. but if it cant stand up to rockband drums, then i can imagine that it would work to well for a legit drummer.
