[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 97972, member: 126"] Re: Why did I piss off the headline drummer? My suspicion is that damping rings are a remedy to mitigate a poorly cleared (closely lug-matched) head. The higher resonances are excited when the drumhead is struck closer to the edge, so the damping rings suppress the higher resonances and dissonant sound that they make when they are diffuse sounding multiple series at the same time instead of when lugs are closely matched to make just one single series of the exact same higher overtone resonances... or not. I am still learning about the physics, there seems to be remarkably little documented about the science behind this very old instrument, while that is probably true of all musical instruments, with manufacturers preferring to keep their secret sauce secret.
