Abstract
An improved drumshell construction comprising a first layer of sheet material having elastic properties, a second layer of sheet material in mating engagement with the first layer of sheet material, a means to bond the two layers together, wherein the elastic modules of the first layer of material is imparted to the second layer of material to enhance the formation of a drumshell having varying sound absorptive and radiating characteristics to control and enhance the timbre of the drumhead.

A musical drum having a drumhead, and a drumshell constructed of a composite laminate, comprising:
- a first layer of sheet material, said first layer of sheet material having elastic properties;
- a second layer of sheet material joined in mating engagement with said first layer of sheet material;
- A means to bond said first layer of sheet material and said second layer of sheet material;
- wherein the elastic modulus of said first layer of sheet material is imparted to said second layer of sheet material to enable and facilitate the formation of the drumshell having varying sound adsorptive and radiating characteristics to control and enhance the timbre of said drumhead.
A musical drum having a drumhead, and a drumshell constructed of a composite laminate, comprising:
- one or more layers of polyester sheet material, each of said layers of polyester sheet materials having elastic properties;
- one or more layers of a second sheet material, said second sheet material being made of a material other than polyester, bonded in mating engagement with one or more layers of said first layer of polyester sheet material,
- means to bond one or more layers of said polyester sheet material and one or more layers of said second sheet material;
- and,
- wherein the elastic modulus of said one or more layers of said polyester sheet material is imparted to one or more layers of said second sheet material to enable and facilitate the formation of the drumshell with varying sound adsorptive and radiating characteristics to control and enhance the timbre of said drumhead.
