| Popis: | 104 The design of replaceable snare drum shells is to provide drummers with the opportunity to have tailor-made snare drums. Due to predetermined materials and sizes, the timbre and the look of traditional snare drums are usually fixed. The choice of snare drums is therefore limited and insufficient for most drummers. In this regard, the current work focuses on resonate drum shells, the part that largely decides the timbre of snare drums, and incorporates the design of dual-material combinations and replacements, which provides multiple choices and enables drummers to create snare drums that are more cater to their needs. The replaceability of this design relies on a newly invented apparatus, which divides a snare drum into three main parts – the upper part, the lower part, and the middle combining part. The design of the middle part enables the separation and replacement of drum shells, ultimately leading to the change of timbres. The design procedure involves three main steps. In the first phase, the sounds and materials of drum shells were analyzed, and the results served as the basis for later designs. Based on the advice given by professional drummers through in-depth interviews, some foreseeable problems were avoided in advance, and the design was continuously revised in the process of creation. Actual production was proceeded in the next phase. After consulting professional opinions, designs and 3D computer graphics were completed. The middle circular apparatus was fabricated by CNC. As for drum shells, they were manufactured by professional drum factories and later cut manually. At last, all components were assembled. In the final phase, product validation was conducted. By collecting feedbacks from professional drummers and recording in a professional booth, the merits and demerits of the current design was analyzed and detailed in the thesis. This was done to better complete the design and further elevate the product value of replaceable snare drum shells. |
