Abstract

Percussion instruments are an important part of every musical culture. Although they are probably our oldest musical instruments (with the exception of the human voice), there has been less research on the acoustics of percussion instruments, as compared to wind or string instruments. Quite a number of scientists, however, continue to study these instruments.

Over the years we have written several review articles on the acoustics of percussion instruments [9.1, 9.2] as well as a book [9.3]. They are also the subject of chapters in most books on musical acoustics and on musical instruments [9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8].
