Technique of Strain-Gauge Measurement of the Dynamic Characteristics of Percussion Music

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

An experimental technique for studying the duration and intensity of percussion music is described. The idea of anisochronous rhythm in the Ukrainian folk dance music is confirmed experimentally. The role of intensity in folktune and rhythmical pattern of particular measures is demonstrated. The question of different types of the interaction between the duration and intensity during musical performance as key means of musical expression in drumming is addressed.
