Simple Drummer Sound Circuit using IC 555

Today electronic sound circuits are very popular among the young generation.

One such circuit which will benefit the beginners in electronic is a Simple Drummer Sound Circuit using IC 555.

This circuit is made using IC 555 timer which is very cheap and easily available.

It is widely used for sound and timing projects, so this project is very useful for beginners.

This circuit is also helpful for musicians who want to practice music with a steady and constant rhythm.

It produces drum like sound through speaker and the sound frequency can be adjusted.

Therefore, this circuit is good for learning audio basics.

Circuit Working:

First, 9V power supply is given to the circuit and this circuit is built around IC 555.

It is connected in astable mode and this astable mode produces continuous pulses.

These pulses generate sound at output and the frequency depends on resistor and capacitor values.

VR1 is used to adjust the sound tone.

Pin 8 and pin 4 of IC get positive supply and pin 1 is connected to ground.

Then the capacitor C1 and C2 start charging and they charge through resistor R1 and VR1.

When voltage reaches two-third of supply then IC changes the state.

Now capacitor discharges through VR1 and this charging and discharging repeats continuously.

Therefore square wave is generated at pin 3.

Next, output pulses pass through capacitors C3 and C4 and these capacitors block DC component.

But only AC signal goes to the speaker, so speaker produces drum like sound.

By rotating VR1 the frequency changes and hence, different drum sounds are heard.

To build a Simple Drummer Sound Circuit using IC 555 follow the below connection steps:

This Simple Drummer Sound Circuit using IC 555 is very useful project.

It helps to understand IC 555 working as it produces adjustable drum sound.

Moreover, it is easy to build and also it is with low cost project.

Therefore beginners can try this circuit.

Finally, this project is good for learning sound generation basics.
