Abstract
A drumstick of the character used in an orchestra or band having an elongated hollow body partially filled with a number of small sound pellets to which various types of tips can be interconnected. The body portion of the drumstick is preferably constructed from a polycarbonate plastic tubing or like material so that movement and vibration of the drumstick will cause the pellets to rattle within the hollow body in a manner to produce a wide variety of rhythmic sounds. An infinite number of sounds can be produced by varying the angle at which the drumstick is held and by varying the number and character of the pellets contained within the hollow housing.
