Hey guys
I'll cut to the chase: I've been experiencing some really nasty pains in my right arm for the past half hour, at the base of the tendons that control my fingers, about halfway down my forearm. It's more of a stinging pain than a muscle pain. I last drummed about three hours ago, and I felt fine then, but I can't imagine what else could be causing it.
I've been playing drums 5-6 hours every day for the past week. This is far more than normal, which is normally no more than an hour a day. My technique is good, I always play as relaxed as possible, and I'm quite a quiet/gentle player, at least by the standards of most drummers, and I always walk up with Stick Control before playing anything demanding.
Is this normal? Have I just played too much recently?
Thanks in advance
Jack
