• at least one first vibration isolating member coupled to the support member in a position between the percussion instrument member and the support member when the support member supports the percussion instrument member, the at least one first vibration isolating member being composed of an elastic material;
• and
• a pedal connection member having a pedal holding section for holding the pedal device.
