Abstract

See full text

A drumhead comprising a circular membrane having a flat central play region, a collar extending outwardly and downwardly from the play region, and an outer edge region extending from the collar. A hoop defines a circular channel in which the outer edge region of the membrane is retained. The collar has a convexly curved region having upper and lower ends spanning an included angle, with the upper end transitioning tangentially into the play region and a frustoconical skirt region flaring outwardly from the lower end of the curved region and transitioning into the outer edge area. The included angle of the convexly curved region is about 90 deg., and the skirt and outer edge region of the membrane frustoconically extend from the lower end of the curved region to the channel of the hoop, at a substantially uniform angle in the range of about 10 to 30 deg.
