What Musical Instrument Would You Prefer To Be Beaten With?

Myself, I'm leaning, somewhat appropriately, toward the percussion section.

I'm thinking those drumsticks with brushes on the end that the jazz cats use on their snare drums. Or maybe the felt mallets used on a timponi timpanee a kettledrum. Ooh, ooh, the little striker-thingy that goes with a triangle.

Or that stale, musty pillow in the bass drum.

Or maybe a tuba, with a hint of lime(y)?

What musical instrument would you prefer to be beaten with?

i was supposed to take flute lessons when i was a kid but it never panned out. i suppose nowadays i'd lean towards drums because, let's face it, chick drummers are cool as hell.

I almost said flute!

But, then, I thought "That's awfully close to a ƒucking metal rod."...

I read the title wrong earlier. I thought you were asking what instrument we'd like to play and the beaten with part was a joke in the post. Ooops.

I'd rather not be beaten with anything. Maybe a Nerf Clarinet.

A little Stradivarius. It would probably hurt a bit because it's wood, but they are so light. And it would be an interesting feeling knowing that a million dollar instrument is being destroyed just to give me a few lumps.

I'd say one of those giant harps. I don't think many people could lift it, much less swing it at me

I would like to be hit over the head with a marching band bass drum, in such a way that my skull punctures both the top and bottom heads.
