Oh... it's over 15 years since I had my last French lesson, so I think a little
slip in the spelling is to be accepted, now is it? ;)

Sure does... ;O)

... but I thought I bored the hell out of people with my formulas...

(Does this make Harry a head-banger?)

No, not bad under the conditions... but one of the things that annoyed me with
that discussion where:

1) The loss of the modes where not given, but I know they vary. The loss of the
   modes translates into the speed of decay.

2) When you hit a drum you will not induce equalently amount of energy into
   the modes. The energy-insertion depends on position and size of the
   drumstick.

3) Dampingmaterial on the drumskin (the soft hand damping for instance) will
   effect the loss of modes, and is also positinally and size dependable.

Cheers,
Magnus
