Cross Stick
- A drumming technique in which a drumstick is laid approximately halfway across the drum head, with one end extending over the rim. The drummer moves the stick up and down in a lever-like manner, always leaving one end on the head, and tapping the rim with the other end. The result is a "tock" sound similar to a wood block, with added resonance from the heads and shell.
