I didn't see any sledgehammer videos so i decided to make my own and post it up on youtube. The Fall of Troy is fuckin awesome!!! Without a constant you lost all my words, You never heard, the engine turn. Now you're worthless tied to this. Comin' down on me like a sledgehammer. Could it be much worse? (It gets much worse!) Nothing will compensate, accept the pain. Thread the needle sew your fucking mouth shut! TALK NOW!.. Manipulator, we jammed your radar! Introduction to perversion, YOU MAKE ME SICK!!! What could be greater? We'll see you later! Distorting depth with all your jealousy, Another fucking sob story, another way to bleed. Calling someone to make you feel right within your mess Oh honey, you can't catch me, that's why you never have! Without a constant you lost all my words, You never heard, the engine turn. Now you're worthless tied to this. Comin' down on me like a sledgehammer. Could it be much worse? (It gets much worse!) Nothing will compensate, accept the pain. Thread the needle sew your fucking mouth shut! TALK NOW!.. Manipulator, we jammed your radar! Introduction to perversion, YOU MAKE ME SICK!!! What could be greater? We'll see you later!

Here's a Prince cover: vimeo.com My new album is available here: bit.ly you can stream my zombie opera here: www.gavincastleton.com Gavin Castleton performs a bedroom version of his "Sledgehammer" cover using Ableton Live 8, an FCB1010 midi foot controller, an M-Audio Trigger Finger, a Wurlitzer 200A eletric piano, and a Roland JP8000. All effects (including the vocoder which is being fed from a vocal delay aux send and the JP8000) are Ableton components. The audio was outsourced to another computer and multi-tracked for a much improved final mix (where some of the master cutouts were executed). Due to a total lack of budget (only 2 "cameras"), there are shots of earlier takes mixed in with the final take footage. There is a nod to Mos Def's "Do It Now" at the end.

A sledgehammer is a tool consisting of a large, flat head attached to a lever (or handle). The head is typically made of metal. The sledgehammer can apply more impulse than other hammers, due to its large size. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area. This is in contrast to other types of hammer, which concentrate force in a relatively small area.
Etymology
The word sledgehammer is derived from the Anglo Saxon "Slaegan", which, in its first sense, signifies "to strike violently". The English words "slay" and "slog" are both cognate.
Uses
The handle can range from to a full long, depending on the mass of the head. The head mass is usually . Modern heavy duty sledgehammers come with heads. Sledgehammers usually require two hands and a swinging motion involving the entire torso, in contrast to smaller hammers used for driving in nails. The combination of a long swinging range, and heavy head, increase the force of the resulting impact.Sledgehammers are often used in destruction work, for breaking through drywall or masonry walls. Sledgehammers are also used when substantial force is necessary to dislodge a trapped object (often in farm or oil field work), or for fracturing stone or concrete. Another common use is for driving fence posts into the ground. Sledgehammers are used by police forces in raids on property to gain entry by force, commonly through doors. They were and still are commonly used by blacksmiths to shape heavy sections of iron. The British SAS counter terrorist team used sledge hammers to gain access to rooms during the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege. However, today they use a tool called a "dynamic hammer."
Another iconic use of sledgehammers is for driving railroad spikes into wooden sleepers during rail construction. When the two ends of the Union Pacific railroad were joined at Promontory, Utah, Leland Stanford hammered a golden spike into a tie with a silver hammer.
Post maul
Post mauls are similar to sledgehammers in shape, but are meant to drive wooden fence posts into the earth. They have broad, flat circular faces that are significantly larger in diameter than the body of the head (where the handle attaches). Sledgehammers usually have octagonal faces that are the same diameter or slightly smaller than the body of the head.
