I agree with everyone to no grip the stick too tight. It's great to have a firm grip, but with technology in todays society and the fact us humans use computers pretty much on a daily bases, fingers should not be hurting that bad. Typing a lot has build the bulk of my finger strength, along with the fact I'm a music major, and I have to practice a lot.

Yeah sometimes I can tell that I'm gripping too tight with rolls when my thumb cramps up.

I have issues my hands in general. When i play too much my calluses start to crack everywhere, so my hands have cracks in the skin. It's absolutely horrible and hurts like crazy.
