French horn player, I remember playing Isengard Unleashed while being seated right in front of the bass drum. if it weren't for my chair, I could have rested my back against the skin. That was unironically one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in an orchestra. The worst one was that time when I had the glockenspiel less than one meter away from my left ear when performing the Ecstasy of Gold. By the end of the piece, I was nearly deaf from this side. The joys of narrow stages.

[@thekarnyx]

I've played with a wind band in a medieval themed parade (we were playing stationary under our towns castle) and I can assure you, the drums were way louder than the whole brass section giving all they've got (we even had fireworks and you could still hear them, and you could feel the actual shockwave vibrating inside your stomach). Drums in fortes really give a lot of character and strength

[@lucasparker2692]

It actually IS a shock wave. Sound is just the compression of air moving in a wave.

[@La_sagne]

absolutely is. lots of rock drummers have cams behind their drumkits when playing live and you see the exact same thing happening. its a big shockwave

[@marioghioneto1275]

@@lucasparker2692 I don’t wanna be “that guy” who corrects everyone, but the drum sound cannot be q shockwave, as shockwaves are defined by a difference in pressure (a disturbance) that propagates faster than the speed of the sound in that medium. But we can say it’s a big bonk

Maybe it"s possible, but with physics and acoustics It's always a problem to calculate those things, to have an objective statement. It dependes of the hall's size measurements, floor material, instrument material, etc. And to that, sum up the fact that all players have different stroke types, arm lengths and mass, etc. And I didn't even considered psychoacoustics perceived from the audience.

He swung the sticks backwards to strike the drums simultaneously. You could feel the concussion up through the floor and into your seat. Who knew the end of the world could be such fun?

[@concretebuilding]

I remember playing concert bass in High school, and for our senior concert, we did a piece that was this war between 2 cosmic gods. During the moment which the gods themselves finally clash, it creates the destruction of all matter as we know it, and I gotta say, throwing my whole body into that drum to signify it was easily one of my favorite moments in band, whether that was in rehearsal or during the performance. 20/10 would do that again.

Bass drums empirically put out the most sound pressure of any instrument. They’re not always perceived as the “loudest” because the low pitch isn’t as noticeable as higher frequencies, but the camera shake shows you there is a ton of energy there.
