iSticks: How to make a drumstick for an iPad.

Step 2Cut down the metal sticks

Cut down the metal sticks
You'll want each drum stick to be about 9 inches long.  

Clamp the rod down and mark 9 inches in with some tape and go to town with whatever you have to cut with.  (Remember, you should be wearing eye protection and probably a breathing mask - especially if your using a Dremel!)

Once you have the stick cut down, polish the ends with some sandpaper or a rasp (or your Dremel).

Finally, cut some grooves an inch or so in on one end.  This will give the string something to 'catch' and keep the drumstick head from sliding off.
