Overview
A drum can look precise in isolation and still behave very differently once it is in a room. This entry is about listening past the rendering and into the instrument itself.
The question is not whether the object photographs well. The question is whether it still holds its identity when it is played.
What we listened for
Attack, sustain, and how cleanly the shell let the note settle.
Whether the design kept its focus without becoming brittle or overly narrow.
What the room revealed
The room always exposes the relationship between design intent and actual sound.
That is useful. It keeps the work honest and keeps the instrument connected to use.
