Interchangeable triangle beater
A triangle beater having interchangeable and detachable heads. A triangle beater for striking a percussion instrument is described. The triangle beater has a shaft with a grip end having a grip thereon, and a working end. The working end includes a connector assembly. A detachable beater head is provided. The beater head extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end. The beater head further includes a connector assembly receiver. The connector assembly receiver and the connector assembly are configured with at least some components use ferromagnetic material, so that when they are juxtaposed by bringing the connector assembly and the connector assembly receiver together into a working position, the connector assembly receiver and the connector assembly are magnetically secured together for striking a percussion instrument such as a triangle. The connector assembly and connector assembly receiver are separable by manually urging them apart and overcoming magnetically attractive force therebetween.

Drumstick Control Trainer
A drumstick having an attachment to strap it to the thumb of the drummer. The attachment also goes through a hole in the drumstick to allow the stick to freely rotate in its proper plane of motion, allowing the drummer the chance to practice drumming without overly squeezing the drumstick as well as playing the drums with no risk of dropping the drumsticks.
Flame-Treated Drumstick
A wooden drumstick that is treated by direct heating by exposure to a flame to improve hardness characteristics by altering the state of fibers in an outer layer of the drum stick relative to inner fibers below the outer layer. A method of manufacturing a treated drumstick includes selecting a wooden starting material, forming a drumstick profile from the wooden starting material, and exposing the drumstick profile directly to a flame.
Telescoping, interchangeable, drumstick/shaker
This drumstick is a telescoping, interchangeable, drumstick/shaker; it includes a hollow tube body with removable shaft screw collars on each end; it has smaller tube shaker cartridges with a smaller circumference than the inner tube which allows the user to combine the drumstick with a maraca like sound if they so please. There is also another smaller tube that is attached to the small tail end portion, directly around the different drumstick types that allows the drumsticks to telescope through the entire length of the larger tubes inner circumference which can be used for dispensing, storage, and playing. This allows the end user to freely configure it to his or her own will.
Musical instrument mallet and method of use
A musical instrument mallet includes a head extending from a first end to a second end, the head having a steel core; and a foam shell surrounding the steel core; a handle attached to the head at the second end; the head is used to inflict force upon an instrument; and the steel core and foam shell create a low volume sound with the instrument.
