Don't Lose Your Grip!

Gorilla Snot lets you hang on to your bones - even when your hands are dry as cardboard. Drummers, guitar pickers, and fiddlers love it too.

How it Works
Gorilla Snot is a gripping aid. It was developed by professionals for people like you who demand flexibility, functionality, and efficiency in the tools of your trade.

Gorilla Snot is a non-gooey, naturally refined tree rosin. It reacts with your body's natural chemistry and heat output to retain a steady grip on bones, spoons, guitar picks, fiddle bows, drumsticks or any other hard-to-grip musical instrument.

Gorilla Snot maintains an even consistency while you play. But when you've finished, just separate your fingers for twenty or thirty seconds and the stuff dissolves away completely. The gripping reaction is only effective when you activate it. It cannot stain instruments or clothing because it is entirely permeable to open air and dissipates one hundred percent.

How to Use it
Apply Gorilla Snot sparingly to your fingers or work a small amount into your bones (or spoons, pick, bow, or drumstick). Gorilla Snot dries in a few seconds. It forms a soft tacky surface that is moisture resistant, long lasting - and won't stain your clothes or instruments!

Here's the Cool Part
After you've finished playing, separate your fingers from the instrument and hold them open (i.e. spread your fingers wide apart). After half a minute, the Gorilla Snot almost disappears completely.

A LIttle Goes a Long Way
This product lets you save your pennies. Use it sparingly. Excess is a mess. So don't use too much. If you do use more than you need, the substance takes longer to dissipate. (If that happens, wipe your hands with a mildly soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.)

Gorilla snot keeps you from losing your grip. Order a jar today. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

The idea for Gorilla Snot was hatched one fateful day around 40 years ago, Dan told me. It happened while he was playing bass with his rock & roll band, including future James Gang bass player, Joe Walsh who "practiced all day," Dan recalls. As luck would have it, Dan dropped his pick during a tune and the group began kicking around goofy ideas on how to solve that problem.

Dan has played guitar since the age of 8 or 9. But it was after Dan's tour as a combat infantryman in Vietnam, then graduation from Kent State University - followed by a long career as a documentary film producer - then finally in 1987...Gorilla Snot products finally became a reality.

In 2012 Dan passed the Gorilla Snot torch on to Joey Shapiro, entrepreneur and drummer for Capitol Recording artist XYZ.

As Joey explains, "I am thrilled beyond belief to be the new owner of Gorilla Snot! I've been a die-hard Gorilla Snot user for over 18 years. I love it so much I bought the company!"

On Monday, July 9, 2012, Joey was kind enough to contact me by email to let me know Gorilla Snot was back on the market. Later that evening, Joey and I talked on the phone for a long time about Dan and the history of Gorilla Snot. It's great to know that GS is back in production and once again in good hands.
