Hey guys! And gals..
Lately i've been pretty curious as to how all of the physics of a drumset actually work. Of corse we all know how the basics work, vibrations here and there cause things to rattle which cause more sound waves etc. etc... But i'm looking for the in depth information!
Unfortunately with all the searching that i've done - i can't seem to find a nice guide, or description on how different drums actually react to different vibrations! The information that i've been really curious about is how different woods, numbers of plies, wood combonations of plies, the wood grain direction of each ply, or even numbers of lugs will effect the sound of a drum, and which of all these variants will compliment which genres of music.
Has anybody else managed to find a good description of these at all? I figured it would be very helpful to contact somebody who makes drums, but i don't really know anybody who does that!
If any of you know a good article, or know a lot on the topic, please share the information here, and surely we'll all benefit from the advice we share!
Thanks in advance guys!
