ABSTRACT:
A drumming practice set (10) consisting of a combination drumstick practice pad (12) and a pair of practice drumsticks (40). When used together, a percussionist in pursuit of evenness and control, can achieve optimum results in the shortest time. The drumstick pad (12) consists of a lower resilient section (14) that attaches to an upper drumstick striking pad (22) that includes a set of five drumstick striking patterns (28). The practice drumsticks (40) are larger and heavier than conventional drumsticks and include an oversized bead (54). The practice drumsticks (40) feature a set of at least three, spaced, circular finger-placement marks (60) located around the drumstick circumference. When the thumb is placed over the front ring, the drumstick will provide maximum bounce; when placed over the back ring, to change the fulcrum, a maximum power strike is produced. The bead (54) is painted in a contrasting color to the remaining section of the drumstick. These contrasting colors help a percussionist to easily observe drumstick strikes and movements relative to the prevailing color scheme of the practicing environment.
