I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO SEE WHERE I SAW A DRUMSTICK SIMULAR IN FORM AND FUNCTION. SO FAR NO LUCK AND I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF IN MY OLD BRAIN SORTING THRU IT AND THE PICTURE INDEX IS A CHORE AND SO FAR HAS NOT PRODUCED THE INFO. IT SEEMS IT MAY HAVE BEEN IN A ETHINOGRAPHIC TYPE FILM IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE FROM AFRICA TO TIBET I SEEM TO REMBER IT BEING A HAND HELD DRUM.
ALL THE PICTURES OF TRIBES IN NEW GUINEA SHOWED THEM USING THEIR HANDS ON THE DRUMS CARRIED IN CELEBRATIONS AND CEREMONYS.
WITH YOUR SORT OF STICK THE DRUM IS STRUCK WITH THE END OF THE STICK OR IN YOURS THE TOE OF THE SOCK. THE 90 DEGREE BEND ALLOWS THIS, ITS KIND OF LIKE USING A PICK OR ADZ AND LIKELY MAKES A UNIQUE SOUND. UNLIKE REGULAR DRUMSTICKS AS THEY STRIKE IN A DIFFERENT FASHON. IT MAY NOT BE A DRUMSTICK AT ALL BUT ITS MY BEST GUESS, IT CERTIANLY ISN'T A SOCK STRECHER
PERHAPS THERE IS A DRUM FORUM WHERE YOU COULD INQUIRE. GOOD LUCK
