Review Vater Stick Tape
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 28.5.2004




I bought it from Interstate Music catalog just to give it a try, and so far i am quite satisfied.

 
 
  Features  
 
the tape itself isnt adhesive, so it wont stick to stuff, but it sticks to itself very well. i have not had any trouble w/ it coming off my sticks though. just wrap it good, and put one wrap of electrical tape at the top and bottom and you will have no probs!
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
the tape has not negatively affected my playing at all. it gives you a great grip on the sticks, and looks pretty good too. (get black!) i havent used it on my fingers ever, but it can be used that way to prevent blisters.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
good quality tape for the most part. it does wear just as anything will.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
after an hr or 2 of playing on the sticks, the tape fabric starts to wear and get thin, otherwise it is quite durable. it rips pretty easily when u want it to.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
this is a fairly unique tape, which is why i gave it a try and it has surpassed my expectations. it wraps alot of sticks and works great. i reccomend u try it.

I bought it at a shop called Project Music in Exeter, England in September 2003 and it cost £6.99.

 
 
  Features  
 
The stick tape is designed to wrap around your sticks and fingers to stop you from getting blisters. Itnulls good as it allows you to play normally without changing your technique, but it could have more adhesive stuff so that it stays attached to the sticks.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
The item does let you play normally and as it is the only tape of its kind on the market you cannullt compare it, but if there was a similar product it would easily be beaten.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
It doesnnullt effect your playing or the sound generated, so in that way itnulls good.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
The tape isnnullt that reliable as it always comes off when younullre playing and you keep having to slide it back on and it is quite hard to do that. It is good going around your fingers but thatnulls a bit of a waste, because you have to use new tape every time.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
The tape does what itnulls supposed to do, but it could be improved. As itnulls the only product of itnulls kind on the market it is good, but I think it could be greatly improved. If you want to reduce blisters without effecting your playing I would by a pair of strong sticks gloves as they will be much better.
