Q: Thoughts on using sledgehammers for drumsticks?
A: if you hit the drum on the head, the sound would be awkward and quiet. unless you hit really hard, then the head might break and the sound would be loud just 1 time. However, if you hit the drum from the side, on the shell, that might be a more appropriate acoustical use of the tool. Will cause damage to the drum shell, but you can get more than 1 hit out of it, for sure
