basic document

The largest drum in the orchestra, nearly 1 m in diameter. It consists of a covered wooden frame. When playing, it is usually placed vertically. Although there may be one or two eardrums, only one side is actually used. The big drum is hit by a single drumstick, which is called the big drumstick. Both sides of the head can be used, and the head is wrapped in wool or felt. Usually when struck, it is between the center of the eardrum and the edge of the drum. The center of the drum is only used for short and fast percussion (staccato) and special effects. Although the modern drum has been widely used by symphony orchestras, at first it only entered Europe with the percussion instruments of other Turkish military bands in the late18th century, and it was generally only used to imitate the sound effects of military bands before the mid19th century.
