Abstract
Percussionists have always had to contend with an undesirable ringing sound while performing on the snare drum. It is usually referred to as the edge ring. A common method to eliminate this sound comes from placing some type of dampening material on the edge of the drum head. Manufacturers of drums have provided many ways of dealing with this problem, including internal dampening devices, customized drums heads, or material designed to be placed on the drum head. Using electronic television holography, was revealed the source of this ring to be the third mode of vibration that produces a pitch approximately one octave and a half‐step above the fundamental. During this presentation, holographic images from the fundamental to the eighteenth mode will be displayed. Methods to dampen this mode will be displayed and demonstrated as part of this paper.
