Cymbal bags and hardware cases can get very heavy and unwieldy. You can injure yourself just by awkwardly lifting them. When I was favoring my right shoulder due to a rotator cuff injury, I pressed my left arm into more service on the load-ins and load-outs. That's when I developed tendonitus or "tennis elbow". Only time and TLC will cure that. So now I wear ACE tennis elbow straps on my forearms when I load. The strap puts support pressure on the tendon so it doesn't bear the brunt of the weight of your carry item. Remember to take them off before you play as you shouldn't wear them all the time. -V- CommentsLeave a Reply | Vince Adáme | Bass & Drums
