Holding The Beater
The Rute stick is held in the same way as a drum stick, and therefore is usually held either with a matched grip or a traditional grip. The "handle" of the rute is the plastic area, as the drum or cymbal is struck with the wooden "rutes" or bundles of wooden stick.

Our world. Go after it,
Go get it boy, says the man holding the stick.

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
