Problems of drum kit players from the perspective of physiotherapy
KOŠNEROVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor's thesis is dealing with the players of the drum set, primarily musculoskeletal disorders that bothers them. Because all musculoskeletal disorders couldn't fit in this thesis, the most important ones were chosen. The most problematic part of a body was chosen with help from a questionnaire using a pain assessment. Then, all the musculoskeletal disorders related to this part of a body were analyzed. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is dealing with drum set, techniques of playing the drum set, kinesiology, the most common musculoskeletal disorders and their prevention. The practical part is done by form of mixed research. The quantitative element is a questionnaire to which 250 probands answered. The questionnaire was posted for three months - from August to November and on Facebook groups for drummers. The following research includes case studies of three probands selected from the questionnaire. Each proband underwent six therapies over a period of three weeks. At the same time, in these three weeks, they did the same exercise unit and were educated about ergonomics while playing. An initial examination was done during the first therapy, and an exit examination was performed during the last one. It is evident from the results of the questionnaire that the most problematic part of body from the examined group is the low back. That is why the rest of the research was focused on it. At follow-up research, there was an improvement in low back pain in all probands. It can therefore be stated that compensatory exercises, stretching and following the ergonomics of the seat and setting the drum set are important for drummers. The results of this thesis could be used as an educational material for drummers and drum teachers.

Electronic Drum Control Module
Doležal, Karel ; Růžička, Richard (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
This paper deals with development and construction of an electronic drum module. The purpose of the device is to capture signals from an electronic drumkit and to produce sound accordingly. Firstly, a protoype with no sound output is constructed to demonstrate an ability to capture input signals. Based on its function, parameters for a final device are determined. Then, electronic component selection and design of printed circuit boards is described with an aim to maximalize polyphony and minimize latency of the sound generator. After that, firmware with software mixing algorithm is designed. Lastly, testing and measurement of real device parameters is performed.
