How should I dampen timpani? @NReilingh: no, I really meant the different vibration modes of the head, see music.nebrwesleyan.edu/wtt/?page_id=183 |

How to properly tune drum heads? @Stunner: Done... Unfortunately; I don't have a permanent, "official" link, but googling for "Drum Tuning Bible" should return something in case the link breaks again. |

Where should I put delay pedal, before reverb or after? +1 for mentioning that in theory, it doesn't matter. |

What are the advantages of point to point (PTP) wiring? I'd say it's exactly the opposite. Theoretically, there's a small difference concerning the signal quality, coupling and so on. The amount and sign of the difference depends on the PCB and PTP designer, it's possible to deliver bad designs in both approaches. Practically however, there is no hearable difference in sound. |

How to convert recorded Piano music to midi? While I strongly encourage the "by-ear" method, it should be noted that there is indeed some software that is able to decompose audio tracks to single notes. It's called melodyne and seems to work quite well for single instrument tracks, judging from the press releases. I've never tried it myself, though... |

150w 8ohm speaker on 300w 4ohm channel - have I done my maths right? In your answer, you do not mention the most important part - WHY the maximum draw is just over 4A using the 8ohm speaker. |

Why does the Dorian mode on C have two flats? I would call D E F G A B C Dorian mode on D. The word "Dorian" tells you where the half and whole-note steps are, the C or D tells you where it starts from. It doesn't mean that it's based on C or D major, just like C minor is not using the same notes as C major. |

When playing drums behind the beat, what instruments define the actual beat? It's still not totally clear to me. I updated my question and added an example scenario based on your answer. |

Identifying meter on double bass drum Am I missing something? I hear plain 16th notes on the bass drum at 1:34, nothing else... |

When practicing a song with frequently changing time signatures, what is the best way to count in? I accepted this one as it adds some information about the common way to do it in larger ensembles. On a side note (I'm not a native English speaker): what is the correct word for it, do you "count in" or "count off"? |

When practicing a song with frequently changing time signatures, what is the best way to count in? As @JB pointed out, there are hardly any passages without signature changes in this specific piece. Otherwise, I agree of course. |

Practicing drums with metronome and not hearing it's tick Ignore the answers suggesting to change something. It's a good thing! As soon as you can't hear the metronome anymore, you're perfectly on the spot. Consistently hearing the tick just after or before the stroke doesn't work, it's too difficult to decide if it was really precise (consistent enough). As long as you are able to hear the metronome when you're off the beat, there's no need to increase the volume. Anyway, closed headphones or another way of protecting your ear is never a bad idea. |

Recommended book for learning Jazz Music in the piano It's a very good book that gives you a good overview to start with. I'd recommend it! |

Performance practice of Viennese Waltz Interesting... I have a book of a German drummer, Werner Schmitt (called Tanzmusik für Drummer, "Dance music for drummers"). He played a lot of dance music in big bands for professional dance championships. He claims that the drummer should - in contrast to the way classical orchestras play this music - enforce an exactly equal distribution of the beats in the Viennese Waltz to simplify dancing. I'm not a good dancer, so I don't know if he's right. |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? It should be added that besides organs also most tuned instruments of the percussion section (concert bells, xylophone, tubular bells, NOT timpani of course) can't change the tuning easily. |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? Wikipedia has a nice article about the history of the concert pitch and the reasons for changes |
