Hi all
I almost never tape my fingers unless I have splits or burns or scratches etc...
But, remember how these old guys used to play.. Mongo, Barretto etc used to knock their drums as if they were fighting for there lives..... so I can understand them taping their fingers...
Ponco is always taped too but doesn't really hit his drums the same way, and plays on plastic.. so here, I have no answer.. Maybe as prevention, as mentionned earlier.. or style...
I personally do not like the feeling of tape.. When I use it, I use the medical tape, no band aid (they fly away after 2 minutes).
