ABSTRACT:
A drumstick having an elongated, hollow, non-tapered body portion with a closed, rounded striking tip at one end and an open, non-tipped portion at the opposite end. The manner of practice playing is the same as that used in conventional live performance drumplaying, i.e., the drummer strikes the drum skin with the drumstick tip in reciprocating fashion; however, the drumstick of the instant invention may employ either end of the stick to strike the acoustical surface. The present drumstick produces a substantially quieter sound characteristic, thus allowing one to practice drumplaying skills while not disturbing others in proximity to the practice site.
