Hand percussion that can be played with sticks

I want to know if theres any congas or dejembes that can be safely played with sticks.

Yeah all of them if your technique is good enough to ensure you dont damage the heads. I use a drum stick on my tabla and that probably the most fragile head of any drum. Just be careful! Oh... why would you want to play a conga with a stick it wouldnt sounds nice at all?

There are various percussion instruments that has to be struck with sticks, but these are sticks without tips. eg: doun-doun

Because I want the sound, and have them on my kit. It'd be tough to switch back and forth between hands and sticks in a song.

Conga's can be played with sticks, djembe's not really...tis possible but it's goat skin, not cow (like conga) so I really wouldn't recommend it...

A sabar is a traditional Senegalise drum, shaped like a djembe that with played with a stick and a hand (though the stick is quite light)...
