Sorry, I dont think im making myself quite clear.
It’s already become apparunt to me that I wont be able to track the drumsticks, its for a music video so eash bit im doing is only a few seconds long. As such I am moving the tracker by hand for each frame.
So the tracking itself is not a problem. however as the tracker only has one point per frame its path is very angular. For example a drumstick my follow an arc from middle bottom, arcing across the left to the middle top, however as it is so fast the only frames thet I have are the bottom frame, somwhere in the middle and the top frame. This means the tracking points are triangular and not the smooth arc the drumstick takes.
You can use the pen tool to smooth the path shown in after effects but this does not change the actual path of the motion, it just jumps from point to point.
