	Drum Tuning Bible
		The interval between drums is more important than many realize and the size of both the diameter and the depth are key to getting even resonance and the desired incremental notes between drums.
		While the drummer can be inspired by this tone, a large venue or recording may result in a very muddy sound due to the overtones and lingering decay of the drum mixed with other instruments or acoustics that occupy the same frequency bandwidth in the mix.
		When the drum is hit, the ear hears mostly the attack and the fundamental pitch of the drum, the sound of the stick tip hitting the head can be accentuated by the resonant head and we refer to these as overtones.

	Getting Drum Impact
		The impact of the drums has a lot to do with how strong the impact of the hit is. Some frequencies, of say the snare may be canceled because of leakage of the snare sound into other drum microphones.
		A trigger signal is a microphone pickup of the drum which has been equalized or filtered to accent the attack of the drum.
		Delaying drum mics (as discussed in part 2) may help slightly, but triggering (part 3) is out of the question and equalization applied to a specific drum also effects the leakage, usually in a very adverse way.

		Due to their ability to quickly an significantly change the sound of a drum, the Varitone System can be very effectively used in close-miked studio recording and live situations – often reducing the need for multiple drums.
		Balance – the prominence of the snare sound in relation to the drum sound.
		However, as the bow of the head decreases towards the edges of the snare bed, the amount of tension on the snares may have to be increased to keep the outer strands from bussing excessively.

	Sound simulation of drumhead
		It is because the sound of a drum is inharmonic which means that the higher frequency is not an integer multiple of a fundamental frequency.
		The sound of drum is a composite of all its frequency together and transfers through air media to your ears.
		The sound of drum is depended on the tension of membrane, the air pressure, the damping, the air volume inside the drum and the hitting point of drumhead.

	Drum Woods
		Counterparts that have very similar sound characteristics are basswood, poplar and lauan, all of which are less expensive.
		The interior treatment of the drum will highly influence the tone, such as the relectance (or lack thereof) of the stick slap on the drumhead, or snare sound on a snare drum.
		They are heavy materials from a bulk density viewpoint, and will inhibit the transmission of sound around the circumference of the drum, but aid in the transmission of sound at 90 degrees to the heads.

	DRUM MAJOR
		Drums need fast attack-time settings, because of their percussive nature, though this setting can also have a beneficial side-effect: if a gate with a very fast attack time is used, the chopping effect that the gate has on the drum's waveform as it opens can give the sound a little extra definition.
		If the kick sounds 'stodgy', as often seems to be the case in live recordings, this can be remedied by patching in an equaliser after the compressor and then boosting a little between 5 and 8kHz, in order to give the sound more of an edge.
		If the drums were recorded in a good-sounding live room (or at a live gig), then the overheads shouldn't really need much, if any, artificial reverb, but if they were recorded in a small, dry studio, you'll need to simulate the environment of your choice.

	drum shells
		It can be argued what material sounds the best, but since the vast majority of drums are made of wood, we will focus on that.
		Gene Okamoto at Pearl Drums, provided the following information about how shell thickness effects the sound of a drum: The number of plies effects how readily energy is transferred from the heads to the shell.
		The deeper the shell, the lower the sound and vice versa.

	Prof. Sound's Drum Tuning Bible...
		A drum placed upon a soft surface, such as carpet, and tapped very lightly allows you to hear the point of clarity in a drum and isolate the overtones and point of resonance.
		If you are using a "vintage" set of drums, or any set of drums for that matter, first take into account the era or how they were manufactured and realize that the set was designed to produce a sound that reflects the designer or that, which may have been popular with the times.
		Drums get brighter if the crown of the bearing edge is a tighter radius (sharper) than if the radius is flatter (may be desired on the toms and kick).

	Cubase SX Drum Editor
		The length of the drum notes entered is set by the Insert Length parameter on the toolbar, and by default this is set as 'Linked to Drum Map', meaning that the length of a note will be based on the quantise setting in the Drum Map currently in use.
		If a drum machine played back a cymbal sound as a 16th note, it would be cut off abruptly instead of ringing naturally, so most devices play back drum sounds for their full length, regardless of the actual note length in Cubase.
		The velocity of the drum notes entered is set by the Insert Velocity parameter on the toolbar, and the velocities of the individual notes are represented in the Controller Display at the bottom of the Drum Editor, which always shows the velocities for the notes on the currently selected row in the Drum Sound List.

	Jim Donovan : Articles : Getting a Great Sound from Your Drum
		The head on a drum is a vibrating membrane which moves in an up and down motion.
		The edge of the drum should contact the fleshy part of the base of the fingers between the two joints closest to the hand.
		Be careful to avoid hitting the rim of the drum with the joints in your hands (under your knuckles and in the lines of you palms and hands).

	How the Drum's Shell Effects the Sound
		A drum shell with physical characteristics causing it to have maximum resonance, will of course be offset by a drumhead combination designed to muffle.
		Since these woods are not very tonally pleasing, and are only used to lower the cost of the drum, at the sacrifice of the sound, we won't get into them.
		Keep in mind that what most companies are using for their Mahogany shells, that we refer to as Luan, is not the same African Mahogany that Pearl is referring to in these diagrams, but a much cheaper, less attractive, and less tonally pleasing species.

		It is very necessary that soldiers should be instructed to know the sounds and beatings of the drum before they are dismissed from the drill; as, whether it be the general, assembly, march, reveille, troop, retreat, taptoo, to arms, parley, or chamade, &c.

		A beat to arms, is to advertise them to stand to their arms, or to repair to their alarm-posts; and a parley, or chamade, is to desire a conference with the enemy.
