  2. Drum tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_tuning

    Drum tuning is the process of adjusting the frequency or pitch of a drum. Although most drums are unpitched instruments, they still have a fundamental pitch and overtones . Drums require tuning for a variety of reasons: to sound good together as a kit, to sound pleasing as an individual drum, to achieve the desired amount of ringing and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bass_amplifier_and...

    This article lists manufacturers of bass amplifiers, loudspeakers, and other amplification-related items such as preamplifiers. The amplifiers and loudspeakers used to amplify bass instruments (e.g., the bass guitar, double bass and similar instruments) are distinct from other types of amplification systems due to the particular challenges associated with low-frequency sound reproduction.

  4. Musical tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning

    Tuning is the process of adjusting the pitch of one or many tones from musical instruments to establish typical intervals between these tones. Tuning is usually based on a fixed reference, such as A = 440 Hz. The term "out of tune" refers to a pitch/tone that is either too high or too low in relation to a given reference pitch. While an ...

  5. Drum charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_charts

    Drum charts include their own musical vocabulary. The music written for drummers is not the same as, say, a pianist. Drummers use their own symbols and language in their charts. For example, a "middle C" note written on a staff for pianists is equivalent to the "snare drum" for drummers. Or, the note "F" on the piano staff is equal to the "bass ...

    In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.

    Tuning machines (with spiral metal worm gears) are mounted on the back of the headstock on the bass guitar neck. The standard design for the electric bass guitar has four strings, tuned E, A, D and G, in fourths such that the open highest string, G, is an eleventh (an octave and a fourth) below middle C, making the tuning of all four strings the same as that of the double bass (E 1 –A 1 –D ...

    31 EDO on the regular diatonic tuning continuum at p5 = 696.77 cents [1]. In music, 31 equal temperament, 31 ET, which can also be abbreviated 31 TET (31 tone ET) or 31 EDO (equal division of the octave), also known as tricesimoprimal, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 31 equally-proportioned steps (equal frequency ratios).
