Abstract
A combination drumstick/brush that can be converted from a conventional drum brush to one with a dowel centered within and running parallel to the brush bristles by extending the dowel from the drum brush handle. In one embodiment the dowel is attached to a push\pull rod having a finger grip extending from the handle for pushing and pulling the dowel into and out of the handle. In another embodiment the dowel is clamped between the bristles by an O-ring and extended and retracted from the handle manually. In another embodiment the drumstick has a bundle of rods at one end, while the opposite end of the handle is shaped like a drumstick. The bundle of rods are constructed of either nylon, wood, bamboo, metal, plastic or a combination thereof.
