		In western orchestras, sets of kettle drums (or timpani) are usually made from copper; they have plastic or calfskin drum heads.
		Amidst this tremendous variety, all kettle drums have several features in common: their basic, bowl-like shape and the capacity to have their drum heads tuned and adjusted to a relatively specific pitch.
		All kettle drums have a resonating bowl or cauldron shaped body with one stretched head attached to the top of the bowl; the size and materials of this body determine the overall sound of the drum.

	McNarie on Grey Wolf
		Though carved from a single piece of wood, the drum body has two distinct parts: the deep, kettle-drum-like pahu, or resonating chamber, and the hollow base carved in a pattern of sturdy but intricate scallops.
		The second drum is smaller, designed for hula, with its base carved in a traditional triangle-diamond pattern that represents the earth.
		But its history goes back even further: the drum is only the final step in a long story of usefulness to man. Turalde points to small indentations in the wood of the smaller drum, made by climbers after coconuts, possibly in the late 1800s.

	SYNTH SECRETS
		The closed shell of the kettle drum discussed last month is a particular example of this, with the vibrations of the membrane strongly influenced by the modes of vibration of the air inside the shell itsel
		However, whereas the modes within the rigid kettle drum shell are easy to understand and calculate, those of the bass drum are not.
		This is because, whereas the kettle drum has two coupled resonators (the membrane and the cavity) the conventional drum, with its second membrane, has three coupled resonators.
