Patent ID: 7538264

Claim:
An ergonomic durable drumstick, comprising: a tapered substantially hollow percussion member having a distal end and a proximal end, further comprising a tubular body formed with a chamber monolithically extending from the proximal end having a circumference less than the circumference of the proximal end of the tapered substantially hollow percussion member; 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, wherein the second muffler is insertable into one of the opposing ends of the hollow cylindrical tube adapted to absorb tympanic harmonics; a substantially hollow neck insertable into the aft end of the hollow cylindrical tube, wherein the substantially hollow neck includes a first member attached to a second member wherein the circumference of the first member is less than the circumference of the second member; and a second spacer slidably engageable on the outside surface of the first member of the partially hollow neck adapted to avoid sleeve dimpling.
