Re-tasked Limited Edition Neil Peart Drum Sticks

[More4dan]

I made this for a high school classmate and friend. We both have shared a life long love for Rush and Neil Peart especially. I found a set of limited addition sticks from the last Rush Tour. They are also the sticks my buddy plays. The Zen kit was the closest to the OD I could find with a long enough body. I had to make the body a little longer to get the whole logo and signature. Added a spacer inside to get the refill to fit correctly. I also did this one without the brass tube just glueing the bushings directly to the wood with a smaller diameter hole down the length. I was concerned with drilling a 0.410 full length hole through a 0.540 OD drum stick.

Excellent Memento Pen, Danny.
You sure did set yourself a task, with the drilling. I expect many an Anxious Moment.
The Stick, looks great on the Zen, I cannot notice the Extra Length.
It all looks Fantastic.
Congratulations,
Brian.

What a cool pen! Materials with a story add a lot of flair.

This is sweet. I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate a drumstick into a pen for a while since my son is a drummer. You nailed it!

If I could just find a Gene Krupa stick... Even a Louis Bellson would be great.

Reveals my age, doesn't it?
