OK, went through ebay recently and found a really annoying item:
cgi.ebay.de/Queen-Roger-Taylor-Drumstick-2006-World-Tour_W0QQitemZ230087716693QQihZ013QQcategoryZ105021QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem.
The seller is silly enough to add this description:
Queen - Roger Taylor drumstick from the 2006 world tour. This is a mint condition drumstick I got from the tech and is perfect for any collection.
We all know it was a merchandise item or better a pair of these sticks were. He set the starting bid at 25 USD. This is simply annoying cause it's a lie!
In case you are interested in them and don't want to pay the price QOL wants for them (I haven't looked up if they are still in stock) here's a far better item, namely the pair of merch drumsticks:

And now on to his Lordship's real drumsticks starting at 160 GBP I think:

Item description:
Hi, Welcome to my auction.
These are a genuine pair of Roger Taylors sticks that Roger gave me from his kit. He was using them to record at the time so I can vouch that they've been used !
The set are a pair. If you know how Roger plays, you know he holds the beater end of the stick and plays the Hi-Hat quite far down the stick (right hand) and the hits the rim of the snare with the stick in his left hand. If you take a look at the second picture, you can see the markings that have occured due to this type of playing.You'll also know that Roger uses Premier size C sticks, wooden tip.
This is a really unique item, you usually only get one stick taken form a gig being auctioned - this a great find and part of my own personal Queen/Roger collection that I'm now, sadly selling.
Please check out my other items for a fully signed drum skin, signed miracle box set, cd-singles and mega rare 'Fun in Space' fly poster.
Don't hesitate to get in contact for further information or photo's.
These are exactly the same drumsticks that I got druing the cross tour from Roger's assistant at that time, Martin (see pic on the entrance site of Roger-Taylor.net). I could never part from them....
