> a signal we recognize as music.

Maybe. That depends on the drummer.

I suspect present drum skins, and original drum skins from Africa are quite a bit less than 10mm thick.

(you know, you do not have to hire Leftists for technical publications...there is no law to that effect)

Now imagine a drumhead that’s incredibly thin, only about 10 millimeters wide, and covered in tiny triangular holes.

Huh? That’s a drumhead a centimeter thick. That would be the thickest drumhead ever made. It would be thicker than the chunkiest cell phone.

I suspect this is another case of a know-nothing “journalist” writing copy they don’t even proofread, about a subject they don’t understand.

This undermines a fundamental part of drumming.

Electric drum sets save marriages because they have a volume knob. LOL

Interesting. I wonder if there is a sound threshold above which is necessary for the phenomenon to occur. But it makes intuitive sense...a thinner membrane with less mass will conduct movement much farther along its path..(I think as a non physicist)
