Abstract
A fixture for supporting a musical instrument drum, or the like, includes a stem which supports a ball and the ball is clampable between two clamping parts forming a socket for clamping the ball. A pivotable cam draws the two socket parts together or releases them from clamping and unclamping the ball, and the clamp can be oriented at any orientation around the ball. A holding rod for the drum is clamped in a socket between the second of the clamping parts and a third clamping part which is bolted to the second clamping part for clamping the two parts together. Compression springs urge the first and second clamping parts apart and the second and third clamping parts apart respectively against the urging of the cam and of the bolts for tightening the clamping parts together.
