Abstract:
A drumstick capable of varying the physical characteristics of an impact of the drumstick to a surface thereby varying the sound that the drumstick can produce when playing percussive type impact musical products comprising:an outer hollow rigid tube-like body member including a handle portion adopted to be held by a hand of a user; a pliable tube-like membrane structure positioned within the outer hollow body member, the pliable structure changing its shape during use of the drumstick; and a liquid medium located within the pliable structure, the pliable structure being shaped to restrict the liquid to the handle portion of the drumstick, and as a rotational force motion is applied by a user to the drumstick, the liquid is forced via centrifugal force outwardly toward a striking area of the drumstick thereby resulting in a change of balance of the drumstick.
