Low pitch refers to sounds with lower frequencies, resulting in deeper tones, like a bass drum. High pitch refers to sounds with higher frequencies, resulting in sharper tones, like a whistle. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound waves.


A brass drum produces a high pitched sound?

Brass drums typically produce a resonant sound with a bright tone due to their metal composition. The high-pitched sound is a result of the drum's small size and tight drumhead tension, which allows for higher frequencies to be produced. The material and construction of the drum also play a role in shaping the specific characteristics of the sound produced.

What would a drummer to make the sound of a drum give a note of lower pitch?

It depends largely on how it is tuned. A large drum will generally produce a lower sound, but this is because they are usually tuned to produce that pitch because smaller drum heads do not have enough surface area to create that low a pitch without becoming floppy. Likewise, a large drum head such as a floor tom can produce a higher pitch, but not as high as a very small drum like a piccolo snare.


Is drum a musical instrument with high sound?

Drums come in a verity of sizes and depths each can be tuned by adding tension to the drum head, the smaller the drum the smaller the surface area of the drum head this can have a lot of tension put in and will create a higher pitch. The Smaller tom-toms are normally called tenor tom-toms but bongos played by hand can be tuned high. The Snare drum can also have a high pitch as well but all in all it depends on how the individual drum is set up.

What is a drums pitches?

yes... well kind of. Toms can have their pitch changed by tightening or loosening the drum head. ( the tighter it is, the higher the pitch. the looser it is, the deeper its pitch) You can change the sound cymbals make by how hard you hit them, and were you hit them. for example if u hit the edge of a ride cymbal, its makes a low long lasting sound, but if u hit the top it makes a short, high pitched sounds. You can also change the sound of cymbals by turning them upside down, which affects how the echo. I hope this helped! further clarification: toms and cymbals are referred to as "unpitched percussion", while some other drums, like timpani, have a more exact pitch, and are called, therefore, pitched percussion. what creates this distinction is how many overtones and how strong the overtones of the drum are. with a tom, for instance, there is no pitch that specifically is a "fundamental tone" but several clusters of tones ring out along the pitch spectrum, so that all you hear is its characteristic thud. it is technically "noise" and not "pitch". so, this is how you can have a relatively "low" or "high" tom, but you can't necessarily play a clear A440 tone from said drum.

Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.
