ABSTRACT:
Ergonomic drumstick grips which reduce the fatigue, discomfort, and pain experienced by a drummer wielding drumsticks, particularly over an extended period of time. The grip is an elongated, tubular member designed to be retained securely in place on a drumstick by friction between the grip and the stick. Various features of the ergonomic grip provide rests for the base and forward parts of the drummer's thumb, while allowing the pads of at least the drummer's forefinger and index finger to directly contact the drumstick for added control. All five of the drummer's digits fall into comfortable and natural positions when a drumstick equipped with the ergonomic grip is grasped. The grips may be provided in pairs with the grips in the pair configured to fit the drummer's left hand and right hands.
