UNTIL a drum designer or expert improves this answer, I offer an opinion. I think that drums of all nominal sizes are designed to allow for a "headspace," which is an air space above the contents, to allow for thermal expansion of the contents.

How much does a bass drum cost?

It all depends on what type of bass drum you want. However, Yamaha are selling some base drums with a price range of about £230 to £300. I bought one cheap for $150.00 Like virtually all musical instruments, there is an enormous range of quality and price. Among other things, it varies between kick drums, marching bass drums, and symphonic bass drums; even within a category, you can find prices in the hundreds to the tens of thousands of dollars.


The song Crank That by Souljah Boy has a background beat that sounds like steel drums and is from another rap hip-hop song What is that song?

WRONG! The steel drums in the Souljah Boy beat aren't a sample, (and there aren't any steel drums in the Brass Monkey track... ) Its easy to check publishing and production credits to find out if something is a sample. In this case, it isn't.You MIGHT be getting confused w/ the 50 cent son P.I.M.P.? It is VERY different, but is the only one I could think of for now which uses steel drums...

How many gallons of a 60 percent antifreeze solution must be mixed with 70 gallons of 10 percent antifreeze to get a mixture that is 50 percent antifreeze?

Suppose G gallons of 60% antifreeze are required. G gallons of 60% contain 0.6G gallons of the active ingredient. 70 gallons of 10% contain 7 gallons of the active ingredient. So, in the mixture, there are G + 70 gallons containing 0.6G + 7 gallons of the active ingredient. This is to represent 50%. So 0.6G + 7 = 0.5*(G + 70) = 0.5G + 35 0.1 G = 35 - 7 = 28 G = 280 gallons.
