Drum (musical instrument) - MSN Encarta Drum (musical instrument), musical instrument consisting of one or two stretched membranes, called heads, held taut across a bowl-shaped or tubular frame, called a shell, and sounded by percussion; that is, by striking the instrument with the hands or with sticks. Drum shells that are basically tubular vary in their actual shape, from cylindrical, as in a bass drum; to barrel shaped, as in some drums of China and India; to goblet shaped, as in the single-headed Middle Eastern darabuka; to hourglass shaped, as in the double-headed Japanese tsuzumi. The snare drum is related to the tabor, a double-headed drum, often with a simple gut snare, which is played in combination with a three-hole pipe in modern European folk music, as it was in the Middle Ages (from about the 5th century to the 15th century ad). encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761570843/Drum_(musical_instrument).html   (795 words)

Drum (musical instrument) - MSN Encarta Drum (musical instrument), musical instrument consisting of one or two stretched membranes, called heads (or skins), held taut across a bowl-shaped or tubular frame, called a shell, and sounded by being struck with the hands or with sticks. If the drum shell is so shallow that it cannot act as a resonator, as on a tambourine, the drum is called a frame drum. Some instruments called drums, such as the steel drums of the Caribbean (usually played in ensemble in steel bands), are unrelated to the membranophones; these instruments are made entirely of resonant solid material and are thus classified as idiophones. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761570843/Drum_(musical_instrument).html   (785 words)

Drum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A "drum" is a musical instrument in the percussion family, technically classified as a membranophone. Drums with two heads covering both ends of a cylindrical shell often have a small hole somewhat halfway between the two drumheads; the shell forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound. On modern band and orchestral drums, the drumhead is affixed to a hoop (also called a "rim"), which in turn is held onto the shell by a "counterhoop", which is then held by means of a number of tuning screws called "tension rods" (also known as lugs) placed regularly around the circumference. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Drum_(musical_instrument)   (718 words)
