A drum vibrates when it is struck, causing the membrane (drumhead) to deform and create waves. These waves travel through the drumhead and into the air, producing sound. The tension and material of the drumhead, along with the size and shape of the drum, influence the frequency and quality of the vibrations, which determine the pitch and tone of the sound produced.

A drum can begin to vibrate at its natural frequency without being struck through a phenomenon called resonance. Resonance occurs when a drum is exposed to external vibrations that match its natural frequency, causing it to vibrate and produce sound without direct contact.
