Please don't take this as massive flame, but this is nuts.

You're from the UK, so I guess english is your main language. From:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=smack
Smack :
- a blow from a flat object
- the taste experience when a savoury condiment is taken into the mouth
- a sailing ship (usually rigged like a sloop or cutter)
- street names for heroin [syn: big H, hell dust, nose drops, thunder]
- an enthusiastic kiss [syn: smooch]
- the act of smacking something; a blow delivered with an open hand
- deliver a hard blow to
- have an element suggestive (of something)
- have a distinctive or characteristic taste
- kiss lightly
- eat noisily by smacking one's lips
Yes, the heroin thing is there, but who cares. I think that using the
meaning "deliver a hard blow to" makes smack is a very appropriate name
for a drum synth.

Really? Not even "deliver a hard blow to"?
