| Jan 19, 2018 at 23:30 | comment | added | jdjazz | @BobvanLuijt, I had the exact same experience--Ari was the first thing that came to my mind! | |

adding discussion of dimensions
|
| Jan 17, 2018 at 18:19 | comment | added | jdjazz | @ThreeDiag, it's the added dimension that gives rise to non-harmonic overtones (i.e., non-harmonic vibrational modes). Harmonic = integer multiple of the lowest/fundamental frequency. A vibrating circular membrane has symmetric vibrational modes, asymmetric vibrational modes, and combinations of the two. None of the symmetric vibrational modes are harmonic, none of the composite modes are harmonic, and only 5-6 of the asymmetric vibrational modes are harmonic (these are called the "preferred modes"). Here is a great site that explains this in detail. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 18:11 | comment | added | Three Diag | Question : is the drum frequency graph just different from the other one due to the fact that a drum skin is a higher dimensional version of a string? Or is it just a different representation of the same concept? | |

| Jan 17, 2018 at 8:12 | comment | added | BobRodes | FYI, you can make a youtube video start at a particular time if you append "&t=1m53s" (for 1:53) to it. Here's this one starting at 1:53: youtube.com/watch?v=Rr-d3tO-sXM&t=1m53s | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 3:39 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | “Instruments don't just produce one pitch at a time” I suggest replacing pitch with frequenciy in this first sentence. In psychoacoustics and audiology, pitch is the subjective human sensation of a note created by the perception of one or more detectable frequencies. Drums produce frequencies and not pitches. Blown instruments generally do only produce one pitch at a time, that pitch being composed of a related set of frequencies. Stanton Moore from Galactic has also played the songs melody on the drums. | |
