When you use the other non-ribbed drumstick on it by rubbing it up and down, it causes vibration to go up the drumstick and make the metal piece spin.
By holding the drumstick a certain way, you can cause the spin to reverse because it changes the wave of the vibrations.
Did you guys never have one of these as kids? I did in the 70's.
at last an explanation!

No idea.

Weird. Can't believe how well that silly name worked out for them.
Model T was similar. Completely useless external name.
