Abstract
A drumstick that is produced from a pair of bonded wooden halves that form an elongated, structure having a circular bore therethrough. Into the circular bore is inserted a core tube that increases the rigidity of the drumstick, a multiplicity of glass micro-spheres that function to reduce drumstick vibrations that can affect a drummer, and a resilient sleeve that is inserted over the front end and partial rear end of the drumstick. The resilient sleeve increases the useful life of both the drumstick and the instrument struck by the drumstick.
