摘要： A reduced volume drumhead has a layer of porous material and a ring of compressible material. The ring of compressible material is fixed to the underside of the layer of porous material in a substantially centered or coaxial position with the porous material stretched across a hoop in tension. The ring may be formed of a foam or similar material with compressibility and stretchability under tension and defines an open central area of the drumhead for striking. The ring may be formed of segments and thus include one or more circumferential breaks with spacing. The drumhead provides natural tonal characteristics and has a natural feel when struck.

摘要： A handheld bell music instrument for whirl sound effect is described that includes multiple disc shaped bells that connect to and are fixed at a location on the rod. The bells of the bells are rung to produce a pitch and the rod is used to move the bell music instrument for whirl sound effect in space. The movement of the ringing bells produces a whirling sound effect by their movement relative to a static audience.

摘要： A practice musical instrument configured to mimic implement rebound produced when playing a conventional version of the musical instrument can include a plurality of spaced-apart, rectangular keys. At least two of the keys can have a different length. A strike pad can be attached to a top surface of each key. Each strike pad can be formed of rubber. Each strike pad can be sized to the key to which it is attached. Hitting one of the strike pads with an implement can produce a rebound of the implement that mimics a rebound of the implement when hitting a corresponding key of the conventional version of the instrument. Hitting one of the strike pads with the implement produces a sound that is quieter than when the implement hits a corresponding key of the conventional version of the instrument.

摘要： A drum having modified tone qualities is provided. The drum has a generally cylindrical inner shell positioned within a generally cylindrical outer shell. The inner shell has at least one sound-transmitting aperture defined therethrough so that the sound-transmitting aperture provides an unobstructed passageway for sound waves to pass through to reach the outer shell. In some aspects, an insert for modifying the tone qualities of a drum is provided. In some aspects, the outer shell has one or more inwardly extending protrusions co-located with and extending through the at least one sound transmitting aperture.

摘要： A drum pad includes a base portion having a top base surface and constructed from a first material. A strike portion having a top strike surface is defined by a perimeter. The perimeter is totally surrounded by the base portion. The strike portion is constructed from a second material, different from the first material. The top base surface and the top strike surface are co-planar.

摘要： According to some embodiments, a low volume drumhead is disclosed. The low volume drumhead comprises a mesh layer to be removably coupled to a drum hoop. The low volume drumhead further comprises a non-mesh layer affixed to a beatable surface of the mesh layer. An adhesive comprising elastic polymers is used to couple the mesh layer to the non-mesh layer.

摘要： A musical instrument includes a housing having an open first end, an open second end, and a sidewall extending therebetween. The housing defines an internal volume. The musical instrument also includes: a first end cap covering the open first end of the housing; a second end cap covering the open second end of the housing; a barrier disc positioned in the internal volume dividing the internal volume into an upper portion and a lower portion; a first plurality of ribs positioned in the upper portion of the musical instrument arranged in a first pattern; a second plurality of ribs positioned in the lower portion of the musical instrument arranged in a second pattern; a first particle fill material in the upper portion of the internal volume; and a second particle fill material in the lower portion of the internal volume.

摘要： A drumhead includes a membrane with ferrous responsive material printed onto a surface or otherwise incorporated into it. The ferrous responsive material is detectable by an electromagnetic sensor such that striking the membrane causes vibration that is detected by the sensor, which may initiate an acoustic sound via a sound module. The drumhead may thus be used in an electronic drumming system without requiring fixation of a foreign object to a surface of the membrane.
