Drum Sticks: Gravitational Rebound [Video]

Check out:

  • the REBOUND of the stick off the drum surface.
  • the LENGTH of each stroke.
  • the HEIGHT of each bounce.
  • the SOUND of each bounce.

Notice how the stick eventually runs out of momentum, at rest with the snare head.

Pay attention to how SOUND changes when we slow down the variable of TIME.

(PS How COOL is that slowest speed?!)



I’m writing a series entitled: THE PHYSICS OF DRUMMING.

  • Is this something you’re interested in?
  • Do you have suggestions for topic areas?
  • Did the above video help your understanding?

Your feedback helps me create better content!

Thank you,
