ABSTRACT:
A non-slip drumstick which uses a flexible, synthetic, finger-band to hold the index finger of a drummer in a fixed position. The invention comprises a cavity formed in the drumstick, a base assembly consisting of a top insert and a bottom insert and a finger-holding, flat surfaced "O" ring assembled in a slot in the top insert. The top and bottom inserts grip a pair of horizontal ribs formed in the cavity and lock together with latches formed in the top and bottom inserts. The drummer can use either an over or under hand grip. The flexible band can conform to the shape, angle, and movement of the index finger.
