Stumbled across this video today from percussionist David Kuckhermann (FrameDrums.net) outlining a number of exercises to combat drumming pains and/or carpal tunnel issues. 

Being the geek that I am, I’m constantly on a PC or some type of computing device.  Over the years, I’ve converted myself to using my left hand for mouse activities because the right gets tired quickly.  Also…about 11 years ago, I got a wrist injury that that keeps me from doing any stick-based percussion. 

So, I’m anxious to give these exercises a try and see what happens.  I don’t expect any miracle cure for my injury, but I do expect some level of relief and extended “durability”.  I’ll keep you posted on my results…

Enjoy the video:
