It is perfectly fine to give drumsticks, but remember that weight-bearing bones will always be much harder on the teeth than wing bones or neck bones. When I feed RMBs, I look for poultry necks and carcasses rather than drumsticks.
Also, just because a bone is raw does not give it exemption to the dangers of cracking your dog's teeth. Just ask poor Gonzo! Plus, drumsticks are not of the proper phosphorous:calcium ratio, so if you plan to feed drumsticks, supplement your dog's diet with a bit of eggshell powder.
My feeding regimen is like Kay's: kibble in the morning and raw at night. I simply don't have enough time to prepare raw meals in the morning and it gives them time to digest and hopefully get rid of breakfast by the time dinner comes.
