  A kettledrum rise time of 12 microseconds?!  Wow.  If the head
is deflected .1 inches at initial impact, the mallet will have been
traveling approximately 1388 feet/second, approximately 1.25 times
the speed of sound.
  If the deflection is .01 inches, the velocity will still be 139
feet/second, or 95 miles/hour.
    hmmm...
