measuring MPH velocity strikes on real drums & cymbals?
...googled a bit and it's all about programming.
Is there any device or method to measure at what speed/force a stick physically hits a cymbal?
I want to do some reseach with my collection & check the correlation of when a cymbal arrives at full bloom before, being hit too hard and choking out. I've many sizes and makes, old & new. Also to see if there's any velocity pattern between bell strike tone/overtones... how thin reaches max. before med & heavy. Stick weight affect... you get the idea.
I'm curious about speed/force difference between strait on (incorrect) hits vs. glancing hits, using my same muscle memory. And follow thrus vs. pulling punches. All this would really need to have something attached to the stick or cymbal. Wow now that I type this out, it's like using car-accident math theory. Unfortunately my math aptitude is abysmal.
Any ideas?
