Abstract:
1. An ergonomic durable drumstick, comprising: a tapered substantially hollow percussion member having a distal end and a proximal end, a plug having a circular cross-section formed with a conical leading end monolithically extending from the distal end of the tapered substantially hollow percussion member, wherein the plug includes a plurality of annular rings protruding from the outer surface of the plug between the conical leading end and the distal end of the percussion member adapted to fixedly engage a drumhead contact tip; a drumhead contact tip formed with a hollow bore having a closed end and an open end adapted to receive the plug; a first spacer slidably engageable with the exterior surface of the tubular body adapted to preclude sleeve dimpling; a hollow cylindrical tube having an aft end and a fore end, the fore end fixedly connectable to the tubular body; a sleeve surroundingly formed around the hollow cylindrical tube; a first muffler and a second muffler, a substantially hollow neck insertable into the aft end of the hollow cylindrical tube, a second spacer slidably engageable on the outside surface of the first member of the partially hollow neck adapted to avoid sleeve dimpling.
