The bigger the diameter of the skin or head the lower the pitch. The smaller the head, the higher the pitch.

in general, the larger the drum the deeper the tone of the sound (ie, lower notes).
also the drum may be able to produce more resonance as the sound waves can bounce around inside the drum more, making a louder drum.

∙ 13y agoA larger drum has a larger circumference (area for the sound to move) the shock wave created by stick or pedal take a longer time to resonate (move around ) the skin. The opposite is true about the smaller drum, the Circumference is smaller, so it takes less time for the sound to resonate.

Will putting tape on a snare drum mess it up?
will change the sound a littlebit
How do you change the sound of the kettle drum?
a timpani's (kettle drum's) pitch is changed by adjusting a foot peddle, which tightens or loosens the heads
How do you change the sound of a bass drum?
You can tune a bass drum by turning.the knobs to the right to tighten or left to loosen on the rim of the drum. Loosen it for a lower pitch, tighten for higher pitch.
What is the sound of a drum known as?
I think it sounds like a bird but it is a DRUM SOUND
What do you call the rapid sound of a drum beat?
a drum roll.
What is the part of the drum kit which has metal underneath to change the sound?
The Snare drum.. The metal is the snare.
How do you change the sound for a drum?
By beating it more harder or softer.
How does area affect a drum pitch?
The area in which you drum will not change the pitch but change the way in which you hear the drum. The sound may last longer or less, it may be loud or quiet.

Which part of the drum vibrates?
The "electronic" of the keyboard which is hit by the keys touching it.
Whats a Snare Drum's Sound Range?
The snare drum's sound range depends on the sticks you use (there are the standard wood, plastic, and even metal tipped ones) it also depends on the tension of the head. Changing these change the sound.

How do you change the frequency in a drum?
The frequency of a drum depends on the size and tightness of the skin and the volume of the resonating chamber. So, a smaller skin, a tighter skin and a smaller volume will each contribute to a higher pitched drum. The reasons for this have to do with (a)the speed of sound waves across the skin, which rises when the skin is tighter, (b) the speed of sound in air inside the drum which means higher resonances will happen when the drum walls are closer together and (c) the distance from the point you strike the skin and the edge of the skin, which means reflections from the edge happen sooner on small skins.
Why does hitting a drum harder make the sound louder?
Sound is produced by the resonating particles in the drum head. Think of it like a pool of water. The harder you hit it, the bigger the waves will be because the particles are displaced equal to the force of impact and the size of the object.
What do drums have to do with physics?
The vibrations (sound) of a beaten drum are sound waves. The frequency, of the produced sound waves, is what determines the pitch of the drum.
