ABSTRACT:
A drumstick having a handle portion that is sanded to produce circumferentially extending sanding scratches and ridges for rendering the handle portion relatively non-slippable in the hand of the musician. The tapered portion of the drumstick on which the striking bead is formed or mounted and also the butt end of the stick having a coating of polyurethane to render them capable of taking drum or cymbal striking contact without damage and to seal these parts against moisture. The handle portion after sanding to produce the sanding scratches and ridges has a relatively thin coating of water repellent on it that will allow the musician to feel the sanding ridges while also sealing the handle portion against moisture.
