Abstract

This paper is concerned with an in-depth investigation into the relation between material selection and sound quality of percussion instruments, arguing about the various aspects of materials influence on acoustic properties, vibrational behavior, and timbral characteristics. The ability that material properties have on design, performance techniques, pedagogical practice, and further research is made explicit through the complete experimental analysis, recommended here, covering comparative studies, acoustic measurements, modal analysis, expert evaluation, and field studies. Our results show the great degree by which material properties shape sound production, resonance, and expressive potential in percussion instruments, giving valuable insights for designers, manufacturers, performers, educators, and researchers. With careful material choices, adjustments of techniques of performance, teaching techniques informed by principles from science, and interdisciplinary collaborations building, we can continue the evolution of the art and science of percussion instrument making and performance practice toward bringing ever-richer musical experiences and cultural exchanges all over the world.
