How do i stop my hands sweating when i play drums.?

I have been playing drums for a few years and ever since i started playing i have had problems with sweaty hands. I have frequently dropped my sticks in the middle of songs (very embarresing). A couple of questions actually. 1. (medical) - is there a way to lessen the amount my hands sweat when im playing. 2. (musical) - is my technique a large factor when it comes to losing grip on my sticks. I have tried using "dip sticks" which I actually think make it worse. I must admit i do live in a rather tropical environment which makes things worse. Can anyone help me get over this annoying problem.

Have you ever tried to use an antiperspirant? I have no idea if it's safe but I would think a minimal application could make a huge difference.
A more natural, and certainly much safer approach would be salt crystals. These are large salt crystals that you can purchase at places like Whole Food, Trader Joes, etc.
There are also products that are aluminum free that you would find in the same area if you want to give the antiperspirant idea a try.

"The active ingredients in most crystals are salts—mineral salts and other salt compounds. And though these products are not technically antiperspirants (meaning they don't prevent you from sweating), the salts are drying and may absorb perspiration, which is probably why the crystal works..."

I know this idea could be totally crazy but I figured it might be worth a try.
