Yes, a drum set can radiate sound energy when the surface of the drum vibrates on striking it to set particle molecules in air to transfer energy in a wave form and radiate out.

What are the source of sound?

Sound is a vibration of air molecules, at a frequency we can hear. The air is set into vibration by something else that is vibrating; the vocal chords, the violin string, the drum diaphragm, the falling water, the falling tree.


How is sound energy produced and tranmitted?

Sound is a from of energy produced by vibration of objects. When we beat or tap, we set the objects on vibration. As a result, the particles of the medium like air gets vibrated. It compresses and refracts formign a wave and reaches our ear. Our ear collects the sound by the outer ear constituting the pinna. It is then sent to the auditory canal and reaches the eard drums. The ear drum vibrates and it is amplified by three bones namely stiple, hammer and anvil. It reaches cochlea where it is converted into electrical signals which is sent to the brain.


Why do you think sound is considered to be a type of kinetic energy?

Sound is considered to be a type of kinetic energy because it is a form of energy that is produced by the movement of objects or particles. Kinetic energy is any energy that is in motion and sound is produced by the vibrational motion of particles. The energy of sound is created by the movement of air particles which are set in motion by a vibrating object. This vibration produces sound waves which travel through the air until they reach our ears. Sound is an example of kinetic energy because it requires motion to be produced. This motion is created by the vibration of an object which causes molecules in the air to vibrate or oscillate. This vibration is then picked up by our ears and interpreted as sound. The energy of the sound is a result of this vibration and is therefore considered a form of kinetic energy. Sound is also considered a type of kinetic energy because it carries energy with it as it moves through space. This energy is in the form of sound waves which are created by the vibration of objects and particles. As the sound waves move they carry energy with them which can be converted into other forms of energy. This is why sound is considered to be a form of kinetic energy.


What is an example of sound energy to electric energy?

Light energy is electromagnetic radiation (from radio waves to gamma rays, visible light is in the middle of that spectrum). It is produced by photons traveling at various wavelengths, with radio waves having the longest sine waves, and gamma rays having the shortest. sound energy is simply the result of an object, a subwoofer for example, producing a sine wave that can move through a medium (air, water, etc.). It is important to note that electromagnetic radiation does not require a medium to propogate. this is why light from the sun can travel through empty space to earth. But sound on the other hand can't do that as there is no medium in space for a sound wave to move through. --------------------------------- An example might be a pulsar star's energy being picked up by a radio set which then converts it to sound waves.

Does the drum set radiate energy?

Yes. Every time the drum head is struck with a stick, the expansion and contraction of the skin creates a small amount of heat.


How does a drum set factory work?

a drum set works through a musical percussion that vibrates tickling the drum chin therefore forcing a solid vibration sending a noise unit to the left creating sound and a drum. a drum set works through a musical percussion that vibrates tickling the drum chin therefore forcing a solid vibration sending a noise unit to the left creating sound and a drum.

What drums should you buy?

Pearl drum sets are a high quality and recommended by many drummers, but it's mostly up to the drummer to decide which sound he/ she want there drum set to sound like. but with the sound the skins also play a role. But if you want a top-end drum set you should probably go with pearl or ask the employee at the music store (where u are thinking of purchasing the drum set) what he/ she prefers.


How much do drum sets cost normally?

Drum sets online can cost around $270.00, but a drum set with a better quality can reach around $500.00. The price is based on quality and their sound/vibrations.


What is vibrating on a drum to cause sound?

The drum head(s). On a snare drum, the "snare" is a set of metal wires that strap onto the bottom head and vibrate against it as it vibrates in response to the striking of the top head, creating the characteristic snare drum sound.


Will a drum set work well in space?

A drum set will not work well in space. This is because in space there is no air or water. Sound requires some form of medium like water or air to travel through.


Where can one purchase drum microphones?

A drum microphone is used to improve the sound, and quality of that sound, of a drum set in order to make it more loud, and easier for people to hear. They are generally used by performers who need to deliver their sound to everyone at an event. You can find them in abundance online, but can also be found in some music stores.

How is the sound on a drum made?

When you hit the drum, the tightness of the drum head and the shape of the drum as well as what it is made out of play into how it will sound. Basically, all you are doing by hitting the drum is causing very rapid vibrations in the air, loud ones, and once they hit your ear drum they are translated by your brain as sound. Again, the different elements of the drum are what make the certain tones of the drum. For a snare drum, on the bottom head there are loose wires that pop back up after the air pressure in the cavity of the drum returns to normal which give it that "tap" sound when you play it. Hope this helps!
