Drumstick (Period)

A drumstick, as the name implies, is used to strike a drum to obtain its note.  Guillim, 1610 [224], describes its use as a charge, and it is therefore accepted for Society use.  The striking end of the drumstick, a knob which may be padded, is to chief by default.  For related charges, see dulcimer hammer.
