Default Re: drum nodal points
I don't know that there is such a thing as a drums nodal point. It's new to me. I have no idea what it could be. I don't think it could be that important if it was never discussed here prior to today. I googled it and there are no real articles about it, just a mention here, and one other mention on another forum. I smell misinformation."
Leedy drums were spreading "misinformation" regarding nodal points going back to their Leedy Drum Topics flyers back in the 1920's-30's. Noble & Cooley with the help of Bob Gatzen brought it back to life in the early 1990's as did Yamaha in the 2000's, although I don't know that they used the term nodal points. Now Ludwig with their Atlas Isolation Mount instead of a big honkin' block of metal choking the drum in the middle of the shell. Oh well everything old is new again.
