The Original Drumstick & Guitar Pick Grip

I've been using Gorilla Snot for years, and it's fabulous for keeping your sticks in your hands, regardless of how you're playing, banging or pounding on the kit... drums, pads, tambourine, timbales... more cow-bell and more. Unlike coated wood-sticks that wear over time, Gorilla Snot is a fresh "magnet" each time you apply it; once for a short gig or additionally as you need it. And, since your hands are the magnet, you can change stick type (brushes, Hot Rods, mallets, whatever) and your hands are equally adhesive on everything you hold. I apply it on my palms and finger surfaces that touch the sticks (not the sides of the fingers). When the gig's finished, the best (quickest, most complete) way I've found to clean your hands and remove the Snotty residue is using "Scrub-It Multi-Purpose Scrub sponge - Non-Scratch - Eco Friendly" pads, also available on Amazon, and hand soap. Definitely worth using the pads, in terms of saved time and complete removal of any sticky residue. (Also suggest removing any finger rings before applying Snot to prevent residue from accumulating inside the ring.) For any drummer playing indoors or outside, Gorilla Snot will be your best snotty friend. (If you're a guitar player and are new to Gorilla Snot, be sure to apply it to ONLY the tips of your fingers that hold your pick... and never on your fingerboard fingers.)

Works well just a tad your all set

great product...snarky name. but it works as intended. No more dropping picks

A little goes a long way...! " Man, this stuff is sticky..! " ...... I told my bass player I found something that would help me hold on to the guitar picks, when my hands get moist from playing for long sets..! He got a finger full, and started to rub it in, before I could tell him, to use it very sparingly..! Next thing I heard was: " This is SNOT funny.. what is this stuff.? " It's called Gorilla Snot, it's a mix of pine oil, and some kind of wax like stuff, and a little goes a LONGGGG WAYYY....! In my case, it doubled my holding power on my guitar picks..! I have trouble with arthritis in my hands, and with this stuff, I can hold a guitar pick and play long sets and not drop a pick in the middle of a song..! It has a clea pine sent to it, and it does wash off with soap and water and a little effort, after a show.. This is good to know if you shake a lot of hands after a show, like we do in my band.! But like I said, use it sparingly.. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY...!

Super sticky, I have to wipe 90% of it off before playing, but then it’s great, no more picks flying across the room. Definitely don’t get any on the fingers of your left hand (if you’re right handed) or it’ll stick to the strings. I use it for mandolin and guitar picks. It dries out pretty quickly, but you can stir it up and revitalize it for a while. Once it really dries out, a drop of turpentine will bring it back to life.

Despite the crazy name, this stuff keeps you guitar pick in one place-between your fingers. Care must be taken to keep the stuff fresh and pliable. Overall, it works!

It works great, thats the great news. With acoustic guitars, I've had a gravity & pick problem from the day I started strumming. With the electric it was less a problem, but with acoustic guitar, being a hard strummer, I was boomerang-ing sometimes 5-10 picks a night out of my fingers into oblivion. I tried candlewax- padded picks which didn't hold and chipped off, tennis grip spray wore down quickly to gummy balls by friction and dried out, cork-padded picks were ineffective, flexible paper thin picks fractured by song #3, but h.s.! this stuff works and stays, maybe an occasional touch-up is needed, but a little goes a long way. I was ecstatic!!.....however..................regretfully, I soon realized that once you lay the pick down for a break or use your hands for something else, then grasp the pick again...roll it around to that sweet spot position, your smudging it out slowly towards the periphery. Once you press down a few many times, the snot eventually migrates towards the playing tip area and from there, you guessed it........ it violates sacred territory and crosses the bridge of no return by making contact with your strings, and now the strings get tacky and grab a little more at a time and then you notice gradually that your competing with the sticky strings for pick domination and once your strings get more and more gummed up with the stuff the string loses its inherent characteristics which ultimately affect the tone, resonance, and sustain. I would love to say this didn't happen, but it did. I strum hard and perhaps readjust my fingers frequently just as I sense a little slippage. I don't know what this residue does to the strings if you don''t wipe it down right after it happens, but the buildup over time drying out concerns me possibly oxidizing it or just adding buildup that alters tone. I was sold till that happened after about 1.5 hours of strumming. Still, I'll give it another try with a very conservative amount.. nonetheless, something to consider.

I’m a senior and taking up the fiddle. The bow was sliding out of my grip, then I remembered I had this and tried it. Just what I needed. Works great.
