SLEEVED METAL DRUMSTICK

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates in general to drumsticks and in particular to improved metal drumsticks which approximate the playing characteristics of wood drumsticks but which do impart minimal damage to drums and cymbals and which have a replaceable elastomeric wear sleeve and a tapered body with low vibration.

2. Prior Art

Most drumsticks are made of wood with a specific weight and a center of gravity located at about 45% to 50% from the handle end. The advantages of wood drumsticks are that they have the "wood feel" because of their light weight, flexural characteristics and specific center of gravity. The disadvantages of wood drumsticks are their lack of durability, the damage they impart to drums and cymbals and their inadequate strength.

Metal drumsticks on the other hand are stronger and can be manufactured with more uniformity from stick to stick, but are more prone to vibration and are generally heavier and have centers of gravity differently located than those of wood drumsticks. They also can cause undesireable vibrations and reverberations which are tiring to the drummer and tend to damage cymbals and drums because of their relatively hard surface as compared with wood. Numerous patents have attempted to alleviate the problems of non-wood drumsticks while maintaining their advantages.
