Abstract: The present invention provides a swivelable sleeve for a drumstick. The swivelable sleeve is slideably attachable to a drumstick so that it changes an ordinary drumstick into a drumstick that has a pivot point. The pivot point permits the percussionist using the drumstick to reduce the friction between his/hers fingers/hands and the drumstick itself. The swivelable sleeve provides a removable frictionless point for gripping the drumstick so as to enhance the movement of the drumstick when used by a percussionist.
