The aim of this study is to establish the effects of stick use on rhythmic bimanual coordination in drummers. Eighteen drummers performed a rapid antiphase coordination task using their fingers and handheld drumsticks. We found no significant differences in the speed of tapping between finger and stick-use tapping, while stick-use tapping had a larger peak force and smaller variability in coord...

Recent modeling studies have explored whether earthquakes begin with a large aseismic nucleation process or initiate dynamically from the rapid growth of a smaller instability in a “cascade-up” process. To explore such a case in the laboratory, we study the initiation of dynamic rupture (stick slip) of a smooth saw-cut fault in a 76mm diameter cylindrical granite laboratory sample at 40–120MPa ...

This thesis investigates the moment, when the drumstick hits the membrane of a drum. Experiments were conducted to obtain information about the interaction of drummer, drumstick and membrane during a single stroke. Using a modified drumstick, the force on the drumstick, the acceleration of the stick’s tip, the duration of the contact between stick and membrane and the sound of the drum were rec...
