With a pencil you will quickly 'walk' up its length. However a drumstick is much heavier and that weight spinning will counter-act any 'walk' you get the faster you spin it.
There's also the single 'flip' you get with a lot of drummers. Usually done with some flair by the snare hand during beats or seen a lot done by both hands before the final crash at the end of a song.
It's like a bartenders flair really. It doesn't make the drink any better but entertains you whilst you wait.
