  • Wearable drumstick holder providing tear-away retrieval and integrated practice pad
    Patent number: 10741152
    Abstract: Provided is a wearable drumstick holding apparatus with an integrated practice pad that may wrap around and attach to a user's leg or thigh, and that may provide tear-away rapid retrieval of drumsticks. The apparatus may include an elastic base and connectors on either side of the base. The apparatus may include a pocket about a distal end of the base. The pocket imposes a force about a first segment of an object inserted into the pocket. The apparatus may include a tear-away retainer about a proximate end of the base. The tear-away retainer may be permanently attached to the base on a first side, and may attach and detach from the base about an opposite second side. The tear-away retainer retains the object about a different second segment of the object, and releases the object by detaching the second side in response to a pull force.
