When a drum is struck with a hand or a mallet, it causes the drum-skin to vibrate. This vibration creates a wave of vibrating air molecules. When this wave reaches your ear, it causes your tympanic membrane (commonly referred to as the ear drum) to vibrate. This vibration sends a nerve impulse to your brain which is registered as a sound.

What are the highest and lowest notes on the drums?

Drums primarily produce sounds through varying pitches based on their size and tension rather than distinct musical notes like melodic instruments. The highest notes typically come from smaller drums, such as snare drums or toms, which can produce sharp, crisp sounds. The lowest notes are generated by larger drums, like bass drums or floor toms, delivering deep, resonant tones. However, the concept of "notes" is less applicable to drums, as they are more about rhythm and texture than melody.
