Vic Firth Drumming Glove - XL

Nice product, sizing is a bit off. They run small.

The gloves seem to be made for those with smaller hands (being both skinny and shorter fingers). They fit very well and have a good grip when you hold your sticks. They seem to make my wrists feel more comfortable when playing fast speeds for long periods of time, compared to without the gloves. I also feel like each hit has more power to it with the gloves on. If you happen to play along with music while drumming, by using a phone to play music, you might want to queue up a bunch of tracks first before playing, since the tips of the gloves are too thick to actually press any buttons on your phone screen. Having to take a glove off and put it back on every time you want to turn on a new song to jam along with is a hassle, as it can take nearly 30 seconds at times to fit back on your hand properly. Other than that minor, rather inconvenient "issue", the gloves are worth a purchase and help with your playing.

Wonderful gloves but wear out, at the index finger seam (drumstick pivot point) way too soon.

As an older drummer, the gloves work well absorbing some of the sting in your hands when doing rim shots or hitting the drum or cymbal incorrectly. I had to get used to gripping the sticks slightly differently as the had a tendency to slide a little. Only complaint is that they are not great for swiping on your phone or tablet. Other than that, highly recommend.

Gloves work well.

comfortable. size was correct. helping with the blisters.

So I am not a great drummer, or even a good one. I'm nowhere near the level of "I need these gloves because I am AMAZING” and more "I need gloves because my hands get numb while playing." So figured I'd try gloves to allow me to loosen my grip a bit and yes, they do work. No pain/numbness and I'm not throwing/dropping sticks by accident. The thumb and forefinger have a bumpy rubbery texture that does a good job gripping the stick and dampening vibrations. They do work with your phone screen which is good. I bought the XLs and they are right on the edge of being too small. By measurements I should be a large, I'd size up to be on the safe side. The quality seems good enough, but not what I'd expect for the price. Overall happy with the purchase since I just played for the longest I have in a few years and it felt good.

I don't write a lot of reviews, I usually only write something if run into unusually good or bad service or products. Other reviewers have mentioned that the sizing is off on these gloves. I don't have unusually large hands, I typically end up using a LG or an XLG glove size. Because other reviews mentioned that these run small, I went with the XLG this time...... and I can't even get them over my knuckles. WTF?!?! Now I am getting flack from Amazon that I need to go to FedEx or whatever to drop these off to return them? Again WTF?!?!?! These gloves are ridiculously small, this XLG fits my girlfriend's hand and she is all of 110 pounds. Just ridiculous. Very very bad product, stay away.

Los guantes se sienten bien, dan buen agarre y protección pero las costuras son de pésima calidad. Apenas los use un par de horas cuando la costura del dedo medio se empezó a romper.

Fit parfaitement et améliore mes performances!! Ces gant de drum sont parfait

Très confortable mais ça taille petit

These gloves changed my world literally . I have severe carpal tunnel and many surgeries on my right hand . I've been keeping the stick in my hand 95 percent more than I was. So happy with them !

I have a really poor grip due to psoriatic arthritis and have been using 'gig-grips' for the last 10 years or so. Without them I've been unable to hold onto the sticks reliably for more than one track. They work but are quite restrictive. The gloves have quite literally changed my ability to be able to play without worrying about drum sticks flying all over the place. They also prevent blisters. I can't praise them enough - quite literally a drumming life saver.
