When a musician hits a drum with a drumstick, the force exerted from the drumstick is towards the drum. Yes, the force on the drumstick and the force on the drum are the same, but they act in opposite directions due to Newton's third law of motion. The collision forces between the drum and the stick are equal but opposite, resulting in the transfer of energy from the drumstick to the drum.
