The resonant head will shape the overtones, or resonance, of the drum.
The bottom head of the drum is called the resonant head. The tension rods are placed through the holes in the claws and then threaded into the lugs and tightened. The claws are metal pieces that fit over the hoops to secure the hoops to the shell. The number of lugs can affect the tuning stability and the sound of the drum. Some older vintage drums may have six lugs.
The lugs are attached to the shell of the drum, and the threaded part of the tension rod is inserted into the lug. If one part of the drum is loose and another is tight, the drum won’t produce a good tone. When tuning drum heads, you’ll need to adjust this tension evenly across all the tension rods. As you might guess, the tension rods provide tension on the drum heads. One end of the tension rod is threaded the other end has a square head. The tension rods are placed through the hoops and tightened or loosened to achieve the sound that you want. This gives them a louder and brighter tone. Snare drum shells can also be made of metal. Some drums have a natural, stained wood finish, and others have a “wrap,” a colored synthetic material that’s very durable. Each type of wood produces a slightly different tone. Maple, birch, oak, cherry, and mahogany are common woods used for drums. Each drum usually has a top and a bottom hoop, one for each of the drum heads. Snare drum and kick drum hoops are sometimes made of wood. The drum hoop is a round piece of metal that holds the heads onto the drum.
