That would be great I am trying to gain access into that paper through my uni just now see how it goes hopefully I can as you get the results without doing the hard part lol

http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/sgrais/DrumMakerproposal3_drum_shells.htm L = (c / 4f) - (0.61r) L represents the length of the shell, c represents the speed of sound within the given medium (wood, metal, etc.), and f represents the frequency of the drumhead's fundamental. Also, this equation...

I couldn't access that paper directly but i did find this one in comparison: http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsa/197/1049/238.full.pdf - you are right it definitely is not simple! My supervisor on the project has stated that their are certain routes which would include too...

The flexural modes of the cylinder walls and the modes of the air in the cylinder preferably the equation to determine all, the process I am researching is to model the cylinder (drum shell) as one medium and then to incorporate the remaining features of the drum after. there was an equation...

The variables that I have chosen to model are the basics first and then to dwell on more complicated matters afterwards. The shell, head, snare wires, depth & diameter, being the most important to achieve here first. I am well aware of the variables on the overall sound but as previously stated...

Good luck with that- have you done any research at all into how the major manufacturers (Roland, Yamaha, etc) model drums? Hint- it's not based on first-principles calculations of resonant frequencies. - I read a small amount and gathered that they are mainly sample based, with numerous...

It will depend on what kind of modes are you looking at. Are these the flexural modes of the cylinder's walls or the modes of the air in cylinder? The boundary conditions will matter too. The flexural modes of the cylinder walls and the modes of the air in the cylinder preferably the equation...

Hi there I am currently doing a major thesis on the procedural generation of an acoustic drum kit, using PD (puredata). Now what I am actually doing is physically modelling the drum kit piece by piece, starting with the drum shell. I know that every aspect of the drum contributes to its complex...
