Motor suggestions for rapid movement and solid torque.

I need a motor that will allow me to hit a snare drum or cymbal with a drumstick. I need rapid movement and enough torque to make the cymbal sing. I know I need to be talking in terms of RPMs and torque here but I have no idea what reasonable values for these the motor I would need would have to have.

Since the amount of rotation is quite small you might want to consider a solenoid instead of a motor. You can adjust the strength of hit by adjusting the duration of the power applied.

Thank you. I did a small bit of research and that seems extremely reasonable for what I'm trying to do. Still open to suggestions but I really appreciate this solenoid idea.
