Kind of depends on the effect you want. In AE, I'd either mask the sticks and put the effect behind the mask or I'd shoot it with retroreflecting tape on the sticks and a light on the camera to give Motion or AE a solid target to create superb tracking for additional emissions systems or alpha amsks for light streak filters.

If you haven't shot it yet, get some retroreflection tape. You may need to shoot your drummer with twice the light and half the shutter speed, at least 125/second. Can you rent a higher frame rate camera? Say, 60fps or 90?
