Due to the physical nature of drumming, injury, and discomfort sometimes occurs. It’s quite common for drummers to strain their muscles and tendons in their hands and arms, particularly if they’re a beginner or have poor technique. Most drummers don’t choose to wear drumming gloves. But there are many who rely on them to get through practice sessions and live shows. The most important factors when buying a pair of drumming gloves are comfort, protection, durability, and fit. You won’t be able to play drums with a pair of drummer gloves that are far too small or large. They have to fit comfortably, and you shouldn’t have to think about them whilst you play. Unfortunately, drum gloves are not invincible, and they are designed to be worn whilst you play drums, which, as we all know, is an intense activity! So the lifespan of a pair of drum gloves might not be more than a few years at best.

While I’m not typically one to wear gloves while drumming, I’ve experimented with drumming gloves in the past, and I enjoyed trying out different options to create this list. To get a decent idea of options for this list, I tried out every majorly popular pair of gloves available. I could definitely feel how these gloves aided my grip, and I can see how useful they would be to many drummers out there.But the good news is that they are affordable, and it’s not as serious an investment as some other drumming gear, such as a new cymbal set. Comfort was especially important—finding gloves that fit well and allow for precise drumming was a must. Breathability was key too, for better comfort during longer sessions.
