Here's is a simple example where the wave speed is 1 and the radius is 2:

<< NumericalMath`BesselZeros`;

r12= .5 BesselJZeros[1,2][[2]];
r31= .5 BesselJZeros[3,1][[1]];

u[t_,r_,theta_]:= Cos[r12*t] BesselJ[1,r12*r] Cos[theta] +
	Sin[r31*t] BesselJ[3,r31*r] Cos[3theta];

Do[
ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[{r*Cos[theta], r*Sin[theta], u[t,r,theta]}], 
{r, 0, 2}, {theta, 0, 2*Pi},
PlotPoints->{10, 45}, PlotRange->{-1,1}, Ticks->None],
{t, 0, 4, 0.1}];
