Well David, i know very little about knobkerries and i am not at all certain about the purpose or uses of this particular stick, but i will remark that given the extreme importance of the drum in African societies i would not realyl find it all that extravagant for the stick of an important ceremonial drum to have a drum stick made of rhino horn. Certainly it's not too farfetched that a drum like the one posted below might warrant such an important striking tool.
