  • Multi-dowel drumstrick with protective sheath
    Patent number: 5728958
    Abstract: A multi-dowel drumstick includes a bundle of dowels attached together at one end. Strips are disposed around the bundle of dowels to protect the dowels during playing. A handle is provided around the fixed end of the bundle and the strips. The dowels could be made either from wood or plastic while the strips can be made from polymer plastic. Instead of a plurality of strips being provided around the dowels, a sheath which includes the strips can be used. The sheath can be made from a single piece of material.
