Hey I have a feeling I'm starting to develope carpal tunnel in my left hand.
I've switched the way I play and hold the stick probaly around 4 to 5 times and my drum teachers says my technique looks really good but.... my hand still gets a numb feeling and a pain after practicing rudiments for awhile and sometimes on after playing on the set too . Lately I've been doing exercises with my wrist and I've noticed its helped alot, I changed my grip and I didn't notice any numbness or pain for like a week but I'm starting to get alittle pain again. Anyways I know I should probaly go see a doctor and will soon but was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience with this? Also I don't play like a wild man or anything and often I practice on my pad in front of a mirror so I can look at my hand and finger movements and control of the stick and not to sound ****y but I feel my technique is pretty good, but I'm thinking it may be because my left hand bends downward slightly which could be blocking the carpal tunnel in my wrist and causing this.
BTW I play a matched grip, probaly should take up traditional now though.
