Non slip button

<< < (3/3)

John Broecker:
All of the listed suggestions are
probably effective.

As a drummer, I've never had
problems with slippery fingers.

I won't need the slider button caps,
but suspect that a reasonable facsimile
might be found at a local hardware
store.

Such as small-sized "rubber-baby-
buggy-bumpers" (tube caps).

My experience has been ( after watching players from: Steel Valley-Youngstown, Garden state, Cardinal state, spah, Birmingham, Lee county, Fy. Myers, W. Pa. consefvatory, and other groups of players), people who tend to depress the button with their finger tips OR first joint, have had slippage.
 
Whereas players whom 'trap' the button in the crease where their finger meets their palm, slippage drops off.
I have even actuated the button with my wrist and even forearm and had no problem. It can be seen in my videos.

I still may try one of those John Cook jobbies. Just hafta figure out how to get
one without paying an arm and leg to get one across the pond.

Ed McCullough:
Spread some E6000 glue on the button. E6000 always has a little bit of texture after it dries.
