How it's made

Source
a padded beater on a large skin drum; 8 ms attack and a 28-60 ms filtered noise contact.
Body
circular skin modes at 1:1.59:2.14:2.30:2.65:2.92, with 0.22-1.65 s releases; tension falls 12 percent in 90 ms. A short wooden-shell mode cluster colours the contact rather than adding a note.
Envelope
low modes outlast upper modes; filtered 35-180 Hz noise follows each hit for 2.5 s.
Rhythm
steady 30 BPM by default; 15 and 45 BPM options also divide the 8 s loop into whole beats.
Space
softened direct sound, 71/113 ms wall reflections and a dark 2.6-4.4 s diffuse cave tail.
Variation
per-hit tuning +/-0.8 percent and strength +/-5 percent; no timing jitter in the slow pulse. Crypt is balanced; abyss is lower and wetter; procession is faster and tighter; vault has clearer skin.
