anybody ever use finger weights?

Re: anybody ever use finger weights?

I've overheard friends discussing using finger weights to improve trilling and jacking for piano, so why shouldn't it work for FFR? If you can find a better deal, I suggest that you go for it.

Well, I am a drummer, and I can say that going from marching sticks to sticks you'd use on a kit does actually make a big difference in my experience. However, speed in general doesn't mean you can play paradiddles any easier. Likewise, faster fingers doesn't mean you could do that same pattern in FFR better. (RLRR-LRLL)



Exactly. I'm stuck on 3-finger 2 hands and can't get out of it

I am too

I've never heard of anyone using finger weights before. Not that bad of an idea.

Yes i would be

(to everyone else)

I just bought some sinkers for fishing, some cloths, some super glue, and started working on finger weights.

I've been playing for well over 4 years, so the arrow reading isnt an issue. As for speed, I seem to always hit my peak at 200 bpm for stream, so I thought of ways I could increase it.

Also, something I tiddled with the other night: I had a bunch of rubber bands left over from work, so I thought "Hey, why not use this like resistance training?" and for the most part, I could tell I was working the muscles that I use for FFR.

I used to peak at 200bpm, but after switching to spread, my max speed rose to around 280, no finger weights required.

But heh heh, hey, whatever works for you.
