The participants were instructed to strike the drum with the drumstick 10 times for each stroke condition, for a total of 30 hits. Each drum strike was preceded by a visual cue generated at 3-sec intervals. There was a 10-sec break between sound conditions to refresh the muscles. Sound from the drum was muffled with soft lint to prepare for the next strike. These striking movements were repeated using the participant’s dominant arm but without the drumstick.
