Cymbal percussion apparatus

A cymbal assembly comprising:

• a support stand defining a first end and a second opposite end;
• a selectively positionable actuation member disposed at a first end of the support stand;
• a displaceable member engaged with the actuation member and accessible at the second end of the support stand;
• a first cymbal affixed to the support stand, the first cymbal defining an inner cymbal face oriented along a first plane;
• a second cymbal affixed to the displaceable member and in contact with the first cymbal, the second cymbal defining an inner cymbal face oriented along a second plane, the second plane being parallel to the first plane;
• wherein upon positioning of the actuation member, the displaceable member and the second cymbal affixed thereto are displaced such that the second cymbal is slidingly displaced within the second plane along the first cymbal;
• a third cymbal affixed to the support stand, the third cymbal defining an inner cymbal face oriented along a third plane;
• a fourth cymbal affixed to the displaceable member, the fourth cymbal defining an inner cymbal face oriented along a fourth plane, the fourth plane being parallel to the third plane;
• wherein upon positioning of the actuation member, the displaceable member, the second cymbal affixed thereto, and the fourth cymbal affixed thereto are displaced.

A cymbal assembly comprising:

• a support stand having a base adapted for positioning on a floor and an upwardly extending longitudinal member;
• a foot pedal proximate the base of the support stand, the foot pedal positionable between (i) a neutral position, and (ii) an actuated position;
• a displaceable member generally extending along the support stand, the displaceable member being in communication with the foot pedal, the member undergoing movement upon a change in position of the foot pedal;
• a first cymbal affixed to the support stand, the first cymbal defining a first center axis and a transversely oriented first plane;
• a second cymbal affixed to the displaceable member, the second cymbal defining a second center axis and a transversely oriented second plane, the second cymbal being in contact with the first cymbal;
• wherein upon a change in position of the foot pedal between (i) the neutral position and (ii) the actuated position, the second cymbal undergoes movement relative to the first cymbal in a direction parallel with the second plane and in contact with the first cymbal.
