Answer:

Scenario 1 will cause the sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar to reach your ears in the least amount of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solids is faster than it is in gases.
