Acoustic Drum Exploration – Basis for Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A percussionist can alter the harmonic content of a tunable acoustic drum to provide a desired sound. By analysis of different aspects in construction of a drum the specific sound can be implemented. Through a Fast Fourier Transform of electronically acquired audio data an analysis of a drum can be performed at many stages of its construction. By dissecting the drum construction into various layers, a deviation from ideal membrane theory is observed. These deviations form the basis for further investigations into drum acoustics and non-ideal membranes.

Optical Measurement of Acoustic Drum Strike Locations
This paper presents a method for locating the position of a strike on an acoustic drumhead. Near-field optical sensors were installed underneath the drumhead of a commercially available snare drum. By implementing a time difference of arrival (TDOA) algorithm, accuracy within 2cm was achieved in approximating the location of strikes. This method could be used for drum performance analysis, timb...
متن کاملParallel implementation of underwater acoustic wave propagation using beamtracing method on graphical processing unit
The mathematical modeling of the acoustic wave propagation in seawater is the basis for realizing goals such as, underwater communication, seabed mapping, advanced fishing, oil and gas exploration, marine meteorology, positioning and explore the unknown targets within the water. However, due to the existence of various physical phenomena in the water environment and the various conditions gover...
متن کاملConventional and periodic N-grams in the transcription of drum sequences
In this paper, we describe a system for transcribing polyphonic drum sequences from an acoustic signal to a symbolic representation. Low-level signal analysis is done with an acoustic model consisting of a Gaussian mixture model and a support vector machine. For higher-level modelling, periodic N-grams are proposed to construct a “language model” for music, based on the repetitive nature of mus...
متن کاملBeatback: A Real-time Interactive Percussion System for Rhythmic Practise and Exploration
Traditional drum machines and digital drum-kits offer users the ability to practice or perform with a supporting ensemble – such as a bass, guitar and piano – but rarely provide support in the form of an accompanying percussion part. Beatback is a system which develops upon this missing interaction through offering a MIDI enabled drum system which learns and plays in the user's style. In the co...
متن کاملDrum Transcription via Classification of Bar-Level Rhythmic Patterns
We propose a novel method for automatic drum transcription from audio that achieves the recognition of individual drums by classifying bar-level drum patterns. Automatic drum transcription has to date been tackled by recognising individual drums or drum combinations. In high-level tasks such as audio similarity, statistics of longer rhythmic patterns have been used, reflecting that musical rhyt...
