Acoustics of percussion instruments: An update

Abstract: Methods for studying the modes of vibration and sound radiation from percussion instruments are reviewed. Recent studies on the acoustics of marimbas, cymbals, gongs, tamtams, lithophones, steelpans, and bells are described. Vibrational modes and sound radiation from the HANG, a new steel percussion instrument are presented.

“…The modal properties of related shapes are studied in detail in the music acoustics literature, e.g. by Fletcher and Rossing [2], Rossing [3] and Rossing et al [32], and recently by Tronchin [33]. Meyer has presented some percussion directivities based on calculations or experiments [1].…”

“…Por ejemplo, cuando se golpea un tambor, la piel o membrana del tambor vibra, como se muestra en la figura 1.5. La compresión y rarefacción (expansión) del aire a ambos lados de la membrana vibrante produce diferencias en la presión del aire, estas diferencias generan una onda sonora que se propaga hacia el exterior desde la superficie del tambor [6,7].…”

“…Traditionally, xylophone bars are suspended on a cord threaded through holes drilled horizontally through the bar at each of the two f 0 nodal planes. The cord allows the keys to be secure, while allowing enough freedom of movement for vibration to take place (Rossing, 2001). Rock is inherently more brittle than wood, and our bars will be of uniform cross-section (no undercuts between nodal positions) so it is likely that drilling in this manner will weaken the bars, leaving them prone to breakage.…”
