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.


How can you make the streched skin on a drum give out a higher note?

To make the stretched skin on a drum produce a higher note, you can tighten the drumhead by adjusting the tension rods or using a tuning key. Increasing the tension of the skin raises its pitch, as tighter membranes vibrate faster. Additionally, using a thinner drumhead can also contribute to a higher pitch. Proper tuning and maintenance are essential for achieving the desired sound.
