sound. The tighter the drum head is and the smaller the face of the circle,
the higher the sound. When the drum is tighter, it vibrates the air within it
faster because of the shorter wavelength it creates thus making a higher
sound due to the relationship between frequency and wavelength. We
made 7 drums, including a set of bongos and five loose drums, all varying
sizes. They can play the notes G2, A2, B2, C3, D3, E3, and F3.
When you hit the head of the drum, it sends vibrations throughout the
space in the drum, thus vibrating the column of air within the drum.
Depending on where and how you hit it, the drums can make different
noises. For the most part, they produce pretty consistent notes. Typically
we will be hitting the drum in the middle of the head to make a good, low
sound that stays consistent.
