Re: blisters
I used to get blisters way back when I first started playing. For some reason one day it just stopped happening to me.
I think the more I played the more I relaxed, and that was the solution. It might be caused by gripping the sticks too tightly, which most people would have a tendency to do when they're concentrating really hard or playing past the point of being tired. I still have calluses in a few places, but they're not bad.
I don't know that there is anything you can do to prevent it right now except maybe taping over those spots before you play, or like Les said, getting some gloves. I think in time you'll find that you aren't getting them anymore.
