US Patent 7595442 Ergonomic drumstick

An ergonomic drumstick comprising a shaft member and a grip member including a load face portion, an apex portion, and a bore. The grip member ergonomically fits the profile of a user's fingers, enabling the user to retain the drumstick in a particular position and to play comfortably for extended periods of time. The ergonomic drumstick allows a relaxed grip, reducing the shock transfer to the user's hands, which in turn reduces fatigue. The ergonomic drumstick also can be fully adjustable, and reusable, with a grip selectable for fit, profile and size.
