A drumstick structure provides a structural outer body, preferably transparent, with a central hollow bore therein, into which a rod can be inserted as desired. The central portion is permanent, or removable which can be interchanged between drumsticks as desired. In the preferred embodiment, the inner portion is comprised of an elongated shaft which conforms to the configuration of the inner bore. An end cap seals off the inner bore securing the rod therein by providing a screw-on end portion. In the preferred embodiment the cap can be an enlarged rubberized tip to provide a tympani beater head. In an alternative embodiment, the inner portion is injected with an injection moldable plastic, the plastic then hardened to form a permanent but lighter inner portion so as to make the overall drumstick a desired weight. The drumstick would be of a plastic construction to provide greater strength. In the preferred embodiment, the outer portion would be clear so that the inner portion would be visible to an observer through the outer clear structure. Thus, an individual could swap inner portions to provide a desired color as the individual may prefer. A gum rubber band can be placed on the outer surface of a portion of the drumstick as an aid to gripping and can also be permanent or removable. In another alternative embodiment, an end tip cap seals off the inner bore from the front securing the rod therein by providing a screw-on tip portion.
