It becomes older/aged, but hardness still as strong as before and won't shrink, still can wack ... no worry ! Whahaha !

This really depends on the quality of the sticks, the common hickory should be fine.
Some sticks may grow moss, or if overused may be chipped too much and break easily. Over chipping may also cause one stick to be heavier than the other.

Less commonly seen nowadays is the warping of sticks. The sticks may not be that "straight" (you could roll it on a table and check it). But this case is really really rare cause of the high production standards now a days.

what an uncommon question. hmm i don't know really. i lost my first pair of drumsticks. my cousin borrowed my second pair but lost one stick so i let him keep the other. i got this pair of plastic sticks. plastic, so i dunno what'll happen to it in a long time. then i got a pair of metal sticks for my birthday (a gift from the same cousin who lost my stick). i never used it though. too fragile. sentimental value. then i bought pair of carlos 5a's i think, cos my band went jamming at the last minute and i didnt bring my sticks so, yea. last resort. then is my zildjian roy hanes model.

so far, nothing's happen, visually, to my sticks, other that chippings. no moss or growths whatsoever.

and so... i guess i'm not answering you question!

put your drumsticks in a pot
put fertilizers

Depends on where you keep them. Like most things made of wood, a cool, dry place is optimal.

lol... my vater 5As have been going strong for 2 years liao. havent changed at all!

if u KEEP them and dont use them for a long time, i guess it becomes an oversized matchstick.

hehehe...
