Just wondering, is Drum Switch grease the same as Dielectric Grease, other than the color and price?

Have heard dielectric grease to be conductive it could be the same, but it might cause electric arc in your switch dont know.

Use dielectric grease.

Here's some interesting reading on the subject:
