ABSTRACT:
An improved drumstick is provided for producing a rattling maraca type sound as the drumstick is used by the drummer. The drumstick includes a tip section for striking the drum, a handle section which is used to grip the drumstick, and an intermediate connecting section that joins the tip and handle sections together and forms a complete drumstick. The intermediate connecting section includes a hollow cavity in which a number of pellete are loosely received. When the drummer uses the drumstick to strike a drum or cymbal, the pellets can move around within the cavity to produce a rattle sound. The cavity is contained only within the intermediate connecting section, and does not underlie the handle section, so that the drummer's hand will not dampen or muffle the rattle sound as it grips the drumstick.
