Impact Energy and Sound Intensity of a Klong Tad Drum
by Adit Mangharam
Abstract
A steel ball was dropped onto the center of a traditional Thai Klong Tad (กลองทัด) drum from different heights. The relationship between the impact energy and the maximum sound intensity produced was examined for heights ranging from 0.23 to 0.59 meters above the drumhead. A proportional relationship was found between the two variables.
